We're Pregnant!

Well, Blog World....I'm back!  I know I left many of you on the edge of your seat, and I appreciate all your patience in waiting for me to make the special announcement.  Well, it's time.  We ARE pregnant!  I was looking back at my previous posts and it all seems like such a long time ago.  The injections, the blood work, the many ultrasounds.  I've been injection free since the beginning of January.  There's still been plenty of work and lots of ultrasounds, but it's so much more fun with you get to see more than just an empty uterus.

I am 13 weeks and 2 days as of today.  I started feeling nauseous around 6 weeks and it hasn't let up yet.  And while it sucks to feel sick, it's a daily reminder that there is life inside my body and remembering that makes it more bearable.

Current symptoms include: nausea, occasional vomiting, cramping, hypersensitive sense of smell, extreme fatigue, subtle changes in my skin and hair, food cravings (grapefruit, apple turnovers, strawberry shakes) and adversions (the sight of ravioli disgusts me).  In the beginning my boobs hurt ALL THE TIME, but that's one symptom that has gotten better.  Some symptoms that have more recently surfaced are headaches, light-headedness, and I'm already noticing that I get out of breath a lot easier than I used to.

Currently feeling: Excited and happy that our secret is finally out.  I've lied to a lot of people lately....
