Morning Sickness...

I've decided to start a blog, to chronicle my first pregnancy...so I can always look back and remember how it REALLY was. To start, let me preface this by saying that though this was completely unplanned, and took us for quite a turn, we're still very happy that we are atleast married AND are able to even get pregnant; so many couples these days seem to be tortured with infertility, which makes me want to cry right now (though its only the hormones making me so emotional). So dear reader, if you happen to stumble across this, be warned...it may be full of details you never wanted to know...but get over it! thats what happens in pregnancy, eh?

So on Friday, Sept. 26th we made our way to my regular family doctor since i had been experiencing horrible nausea and had no idea why. For some reason, nausea is a pretty common thing for me, i've experienced it on a daily basis for the past 10 years. So for me to actually go to the doctor to get this looked into you know the nausea had to be pretty bad, and it wasn't going away either! It was way worse than normal and I was tired of it. Upon hearing my symptoms they decided to do a pregnancy test and surprise! it was positive. I dont think i have ever been more shocked in my life. I keep replaying that scene over and over again and its like watching a movie, it still doesnt feel like it happened to me. And I know it still hasn't fully sunken in. But I guess it's pretty neat that we actually know how and when this happened. I definitely won't go into details about THAT but hey it was way good and i'm glad a baby is coming from something so passionate, and not just typical regular sex! hah! So passionate, in fact, that we went straight to the pharmacy the next day and bought the morning after pill (can we get a refund please since it clearly did not work!)

Now that brings us here to today, Tuesday Sept. 30th. Since i can't remember the first day of my last period i'm a little iffy about how far along i am..it's putting me somewhere between 5-7 weeks, i think. That's the only part i don't like not knowing so far, because i like things to be precise! So naturally i want to know exactly how far along I am! Oh well, i guess everything can't be perfect. It's so cool and super scary to know of all the changes my body is going through, and all the changes baby is going through daily. Ugh, it's so very exciting. Sometimes i just hold my tummy and think, "holy crap, there's a tiny life in there." What's even more strange about it is that i can't feel it yet so its even harder to realize. I can't wait to see what i will look like once baby gets super big. Hehe

I hear that for some women, they know they're pregnant almost instantly...and others never notice until they're super far along. But I think it's pretty crazy that I started showing symptoms about 3 or 4 weeks into it, that just seems so early. Maybe since i started getting morning sickness so early, that it'll go away sooner?? Yea right, i wish!

Well this is all for now, once we find an ob/gyn and get an actual picture of baby, I will be sure to post it!

Good day to you all.
