so, you might have already heard, i'm pregnant.
we found out 2 weeks ago in the morning on the 22nd. i cannot keep a secret. i give christmas presents early, and i always hint at a secret i know until my best friends guess what i'm saying. i cannot help this. so, there you go. that's why you know.
my first check up is on the 19th with my midwife, who's been my gyno for the last few years. she's strong and witty and i love her. but! idk if she does home births; so, i might have to find another homegirl for that shizz. my brother and mother are TOTALLY against this prospect, i am all for at least giving hippie home-birth a go. BRING ON THE GRANOLA.
as of right now here is my itemized report of how i feel.
1. i feel sick ALL THE TIME.
2. ditto on being tired.
3. i have LOST 3 pounds.
4. i have only puked once.
5. i can FEEL my uterus expanding and my ligaments stretching.
6. i am trying to embrace the pain of the above mentioned
7, i am not craving anything right now; mostly, because i have to force myself to eat anything.
8. i feel like water makes me nauseous.
9. i've only cried once so far. last night, i caught my reflection in the mirror: BLOATED = GROSS
10. eric has been a real gem so far, but i am worried his love and affection will slowly deteriorate as i continue to bitch
okay. that's all for now. BRING ON THE ADVICE, MAMA's & GIRLYFRIENDS!
the baby
