I found out that I was pregnant when I was about four weeks along…pretty soon, really. I had sore boobs, was tired, and of course my period was REALLY late. I was in Mississippi, about thirteen hours away from my hubby. I send him an e-mail with a picture of a figureing that I’d bought him (of a pregnant lady) and made him open the e-mail while I was on the phone with him. I was still in a state of shock myself, and I think he kinda shared that sentiment.
Not long after that, the morning sickness (yeah, right…more like ALL DAY sickness) set in. NOT FUN! I never threw up…just always felt like I was going to. I think I would’ve preferred to go ahead and vomit so I’d at least feel better. Thankfully, it only lasted about three weeks. However, it totally derailed my exercise habit. It’s been a real struggle to get back in the gym and continue working out.
I had my first sonogram in Mississippi when I was about 8 1/2 weeks along…got to see the little bean and hear his/her heartbeat for the first time. Everyone asks me if I cried when I heard it. I didn’t. It was awesome to hear it, though. I heard it again this week at the doctor’s office. Ben missed both of them, but he’ll get to hear it at the end of August when I go in for my next sonogram. That’s also when we will (hopefully) be able to find out if it’s a boy or girl.
I have a strong feeling that it’s a boy. I think I’ll be quite surprised if it’s not. I’m totally fine with either, though…I don’t really have a preference.
Everything seems to be going smoothly right now…I still get tired by mid-afternoon, but I think that’s more just boredom than pregnancy. Maybe a mix of both.
I think that should catch everyone up on what’s going on with me right now. I’ll write more again soon!
