Well a girlfriend of mine recommended the site, so I figured I may as well get started with it.

Today is the first official day of the aftershock and I am still pretty amazed. I mean it was something I ever thought I wanted and then when I decided I really wanted a baby, I was single. Then I meet Mr. Right and everything fell into place. I feel extremely blessed right now and my parents are very excited.

So that is it....first day after the initial shock and prepared for it all. Some people may say it is too early to say anything or get excited, but for me, it is a blessing and it is truly in god's hands now.

Thinking positive thoughts and sending positive vibes out to all that are expecting!!

**Addition. After reading this, my boyfriend noted that I did not comment on how he felt. For the record, he is very excited and already picking out names.

Well my intuition was right, I am further along than originally thought. I am 12 weeks pregnant and am still so excited. Broke the news to my b'friend's family and we got mainly positive vibes, however, you could tell there was some hesitation. The reason for the hesitation is somewhat understood since he and I have not been together overly long, but we are big believers that everything happens for a reason and we are celebrating this miracle that we having coming in the near future.

I had a recent checkup and my health is great, which shocked me considering I am a recovering anorexic but I take it as a great sign. I am eating properly and regularly and since January (which was the last time I weighed myself) I have only gained 4.5 pounds. I had a very short bout of morning sickness and all in all just learning to get familiar with the weird little pains that I experience which I have been assured are simply growing pains as my body is changing. All for the good.

Anyway, if anyone on here is from Victoria, BC drop me a line. I would love to get in contact with mom's or mom's to be. It would be nice to build a network of new friends and people to chat with.

Hugs and Smiles to all!

Well not much to really report on at this point. Experiencing some back pains but I am convinced that is because of my sneezing fits courtesy of this lovely cold/flu I have. Not fun at all but I am getting through it.

My man and I found a huge house to rent, so that will be nice. We are pretty excited and because I am overly-cautious, I have enlisted many friends to assist with moving so I do not have to do much in the way of lifting. I know some women (mothers) have told me that I am being too cautious and I just may be, but for me I would rather be safe instead of putting myself at any risk.

Going to the doctor on the 17th for the doppler and I am hoping that I hear the heartbeat. I think that will finally make this seem 100% real to me. Right now I am in that phase where I do not think I am pregnant. I am not seeing any new changes with my body growth wise but still have the little twinges of growing pains. Is this normal? I mean knowing that you are preganant but just not convinced as everything seems stalled? Anyway, I am happy, positive and looking forward to the things that lay around the corner.

Hugs to you all!
