It seems like the first few weeks of my pregnancy are dragging on. I know everyone says to really enjoy this time of your life because it will pass so quickly, but right now I just don't see it. I think part of it is because I wasn't as far along as I thought I was when I went to the doctor, so it feels like I've been 6 weeks pregnant for 3 weeks now. I really still don't have much of an idea of my exact due date or exactly how far along I am, which is killing me since so many of the books and articles I'm reading are all based on what week you're in. I'm probably reading too much anyway!
I've had a subtle nausea for the past week-- not so bad that I feel like I'm going to throw up, and not so bad that I can't eat anything, but nonetheless annoying. I filled the prescription the dr. gave me for nausea medication and actually took it last night I felt so bad. At some times I'm grateful for the nausea, as its the baby's sign that he/she is still alive & well. Other than that, I've also been pretty tired, but not to where I can't function well. I craved French Fries & starchy foods all last week but today I think that's starting to subside. I don't really have any other symptoms, though. I feel like I'm already starting to show a little and some of my pants are harder to fit into, but I know it's really still a little early for that!
The cat is officially out of the bag. Most people know the news now. I still haven't told a couple of my long-distance friends, but we made the announcement Wed. night at prayer meeting at church, and I told everyone at work. Generally, everyone seems so excited for us. I haven't really had any off-the-wall advice. Actually most people at work are really looking out for me more. A lot ask me how I feel on a regular basis. And since there have been quite a few that have gone through a pregnancy themselves recently, many have offered to let me borrow some books they have. Now that everyone knows, I think the wait is about to feel even longer.
