Hello, my name is Laura. I am pregnant for the first time after TTC for 10 months! My husband, Axel and I are sooo excited! I'm American and he's french and we live in Western France. I came here in 2002 to work, met Axel and am still here! We got married in Aug. 2007 and are so excited to start a family of our own.

Dec. 1- I can't believe it's December already. I'm starting to get a little uncomfortable in my pregnancy, mostly in the evenings and at night. My back is starting to really ache. But I've been going to the swimming pool and that seems to help, it feels good to be weightless. It's getting exciting to be so close to the end. We're starting to get his room ready, we have the bed and the changing table is ordered, we just have to get a dresser now. Only two more months, it's been flying by already!!

Sept. 28- Things are going pretty well here. I'm so happy to not be sick anymore!! I think we've decided on the name Jonah for our little baby. The time has really been flying by, I can't believe I'm already at 5 months. My belly is starting to pop out a little bit, for the first time this week I wore my maternity jeans. I can still wear my old jeans but they're uncomfortable now. We bought the crib, though for now it's in our room because we haven't finished the baby's room yet. We're still trying to decide what color to paint it. When I'm in bed laying down reading or something at night, I feel him move just a little bit, really low down in my stomach, but during the day I don't feel anything. That's about it :)

Sept. 2- We had a Dr's appt. today and we learned that.... it's a boy!! It's so nice knowing, it makes it seem so much more real. And everything else looked really good too, he was moving his little legs around. I still haven't really started to feel him move, every once in awhile I feel something, but not much yet. My Dr. said I'll start feeling him more and more. I can't wait. And other good news is that my morning sickness is just about over. I still get nausia from time to time, but nothing like before.

Aug. 26- We just got back from a week in sunny Spain on vacation. We had a really great time, but it's good to be home again too. I still haven't really felt the baby move yet, not any definate movements yet. I think I feel something every once in a while but it happens so quick I'm not sure. I'm in week 17 now and my dr. said it would be around week 19, so I figure it'll be soon.

Aug. 13- My husband and I had our first wedding anniversary on Monday!! Yea!! So he got me a gorgeous bouquet of roses and we went out to dinner. It was nice. It's funny how much can change in a year. We've had lots of changes (I'm pregnant!, we moved, he changed jobs etc) So now that I'm in my 2nd trimester the morning sickness is supposed to subside. But mine hasn't. I still throw up daily, and there are a lot of smells and foods that still make my stomach turn. And I used to love my morning cup of coffee but I haven't had one since about week 6! Just the thought of it makes me gag. I just can't wait to get my energy back, my house really needs cleaned from top to bottom!! Oh well. I'm still not really showing, I just look chubby around the waist and I swear my hips are already getting wide!! Can't wait to feel the first movements!! Our next appt. is Sept. 1, the Dr. said she might be able to tell the sex, otherwise she said for sure at my Oct. 1 appt. we'll know, I can't wait to find out!!!
