Strange thing about counting weeks: you start counting the weeks of pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period, so there are literally almost two weeks when you are utterly not pregnant that count as week 1-2. Huh.
Things have been going smoothly for the most part. I am definitely feeling morning sickness for several hours a day. And, unfortunately, this seems to be getting worse, as today was the worst day so far! I haven't been over whelmed with nausea yet - Thank God - but I have been having headaches every single day that last for hours. I'm just getting rid of my headache from this morning now.
Still - it is amazing to be pregnant. I am obsessed with the idea (however open/vague it is) of our little baby coming! I thought that I would be really worried about how it will change George and my life, but actually I am so focused on getting to know the little one growing inside of me, I can't really concentrate on "how my life will change."
One thing is certain - I'm less concerned with work than ever before. Of course I will always be totally dedicated to my teaching and my students - that goes without saying. But my brain is too fuzzy to dedicate much time or energy to anything except sleeping, and being with my husband, and day dreaming about the baby.
I am so blessed to be pregnant and so full (literally) of potential!
For my own info:
