Sunday is my reference day to how far along I am in my pregnancy. So I am right at 12 1/2 weeks along. My plan is to update this about once a week, more so for me to be able to look back on then necessarily creating a great following of me being preggers.
So far I have been very blessed/fortunate. I have been feeling pretty great, no morning sickness, just exhaustion and frequent trips to the bathroom. I know many of my friends haven't been so lucky, so I definitely count my blessings. Of course, everyone you talk to, no morning sickness means something...I've had just about equal ladies come up and tell me it's sign I'm having a boy as it is I'm having a girl. Definitely having a baby, so we'll just wait until November when the doc gives the official word before we start painting the nursery blue or pink! No real food aversions or cravings. I did crave chocolate milk a couple of weeks ago, and for someone who probably hasn't had a glass of milk in 16+ years, that is definitely the baby!!
Other pregnancy news...it's been really great to be able to tell friends and people at the church the exciting news. It's also been especially great to converse with my pregnant friends-swap stories and glean advise. And the excitement of one of my best friends growing up, Ansley, having her little girl Monday made everything that much more real. Like, oh my goodness, in 6 months, that's going to be me!! Just the thought when I was holding little Emily made my heart swell. The youth knowing has also made it special, the older girls I think are the most excited. Most of them I have been working with in youth for 5 or 6 years!
Not much else pregnancy related. Just getting adjusted to the new job and slowly starting to clean the house and prepare for the baby.
