today, i am 23.

i am married, and an expectant mother. my, have i grown since i started this thing.

it is funny to look back at previous entries and see all that i have been through these past six years. all that i have ever known will never be the same. and i don't want it to be. i love the changes that have taken place in my life. and i regret nothing that has led me to this point. i want to thank all the people here who have helped lead me along the way, or helped push me, if you will. ;) not that there are more than two people who even read this... lol.

this pregnancy is not an easy thing. but i know that it is worth it in the end. when i see my first sonagram tomorrow, i think it will all be worth it. because i will see this tiny living being growing inside of me, rather than just feel the effects... also, i am nearing the end of my first trimester, things should go much more smoothly these next three months. should. lol. my body is going through so many changes... my breasts are producing a clear gooey liquid, my tummy is protruding already, my back is always aching, my hips are aching, i'm already starting to walk funny, migraines are a little more frequent, and it is so hard to find foods that look, smell, and taste right. i cry at nothing. i cry most over food. i laugh at myself for crying. oh, and i also have abdominal cramps. this just started yesterday. :( but, the second trimester, they say, is much easier and my appetite should come back. *nods head* oh yes, and i pee a lot and am almost always constipated. :P and let's not forget the burping and farting, which i always blame on baby.

i have days where i am very scared. but, for the most part, i'm just happy. i am very excited. it helps that my husband is excited, too. he is so funny. he will freak out over things more than i will... like people smoking around me and me eating or drinking things that could hurt baby. the other day, i went to lean out of the pool to grab a ball that had bounced out and he freaked out cause i was leaning over the side of the pool on my tummy. lol.

life is good. painful, but good. :)

happy birthday to me.
