The part that sucks is the lying. Not the whole not getting to do anything fun, I can deal with that. It's the whole lying to everyone you come in to contact with even though you really, REALLY want to tell them the truth. IN FACT, I COULD JUST SCREAM IT FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS. But I can't and I might just implode.
All of that aside, I just feel SO lucky. I guess reading and keeping up with some of my favorite ladies who have had trouble conceiving humbles me a whole lot. I know this is a blessing and when I work through those initial OH SHIT moments I truly feel like the luckiest woman in the world. My husband wants this, we have a super strong support system and I know deep down that all of those worries are just going to work themselves out.
How far along? 6 weeks!
Size of baby: A sweet pea. My sweet pea. Cheeeeeese.
Total weight gain/loss: My scale broke. So none. :)
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep: Pretty good this week. Knock on wood.
Movement: Nope.
Food cravings: I had a pretty strong craving for frozen yogurt today. But other than that, nope.Sex: Everyone has a guess.
Labor Signs: Uh, no.
Belly Button in or out? Innie.
What I miss: Still coffee. And wine. We stocked up right before we found out so those bottles are looking sad and lonely on the wine rack. Oh well.
What I am looking forward to: Our first appointment! AND BEING ABLE TO TELL PEOPLE.
Best moment this week: Telling our parents. And my mom telling me she didn't have morning sickness...cross your fingers for me!
Weekly Wisdom: Baby news makes everyone SO happy. I seriously haven't seen my mom so happy since before her brother died last year. Made me happy.
Milestones: I had a dream I found two kittens and put them in the front pouch of my sweatshirt. Tyler's synopsis is that it means we are going to have twins. Please no.
OMG TWINS?! Yikes. Russ is a twin and I'm wishing to the baby-gods that I won't have twins (it skips a generation, rrrrrright???). I think I would go nuts.
ReplyDeleteI love reading these. That sucks you had to wait until 10 weeks to see the doctor, I would have gone nuts. Thankfully I was able to get my first ultrasound at 5 1/2 weeks to date the pregnancy and then 9 weeks to make sure things were still good. However my next one isnt until 20 weeks which is SUCH a long wait!!
ReplyDeleteNow instead of lying to people about why you can't do things with them, you get to go to the event anyway and be the only one sober. And be the DD. At first I hated it. Then I enjoyed watching other people get drunk and not have to worry about whether I would have a hangover =)
ReplyDeleteAlso, things to look forward to: when you have a drink again sometime in 2012, you will be a lightweight again. Makes drinking cheaper HAHAHA
I am done commenting on all your posts now.
Having sooooo much fun reading these! And we were defffinitely some of those people trying to get you to have drinks with us. And TWINS eeeeek!! I think he's right ;) Sooo exciting!!
