As of yesterday, I am 12 weeks pregnant. So far, I have had what I assume to be a fairly normal pregnancy. I started experiencing extreme and constant nausea around week 6, and it seems to be (knock on wood) pretty much over now. I never knew that my favorite thing, food and cooking, could become so uninteresting and just plain sickening to me. I'm still not really able to sit down and look through my cookbooks to plan menus just yet, which has resulted in my poor husband having to fend for himself more than I would like.
I had my first doctor's appointment last week, and everything looked perfect! A good, strong heartbeat, per the MD. We only did the ultrasound this visit; the next one will be an exam and some tests, I think. I've only gained 1-2 pounds so far, but I have more "pooch" than I thought I would at this point. My pants are feeling a little tighter than I would like, especially since I have nothing else to wear at this point! I cut down my workout schedule a little at the beginning just because I didn't feel good, but now I'm back up to 3-4 days per week, doing the same stuff as I was before. Hopefully this will help me not gain too much weight and keep me nice and healthy for the delivery. It's still a really strange and wonderful feeling to know that there is a little person inside of me, growing and getting bigger everyday, when I still can't feel it.
I've had an amazing reaction from everyone we have told so far. We caused quite a scene at church, and the ladies at work keep calling me "little momma" and check everything I am eating. We're truly so blessed!
