So David and I have officially lived with "the BIG news" for a whole week now and told almost no one. According to the books, our first baby will have a heartbeat by the end of the week. Totally unbelievable to me. I'm in total awe that this is actually happening.
Anyhow, the big news for today is that we are going to meet the doctor. We've made no committment toward this doctor, but she came highly recommended so we're going to meet her today and see if her "vibe" will be right for us. As a family physician, she should be able to take us through the entire pre-natal, delivery and all requisite checkups. After having gone to specialist for most of my life, I'm excited about the idea of having a regular doctor.
As for symptoms, I'm doing pretty well. I've had a little queasiness after I eat, but nothing yet unbearable... and as it is after I eat, I haven't had any trouble getting enough food. My bbs are super sore, but I'm learning to live with that.
I've read so much about the first trimester and I'm worried that I will do something wrong or miscarry. I hope so much that everything is ok and that I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. I've been on pre-natal vitamins for about 4 months so my nutrition should be relatively good for now. The only other notable symptom is that I can't sleep through the night. I have my usual bathroom breaks, but it seems that every time I wake up (not just to pee, but in general), I am totally awake. The books say not to fight it, that it is just my body getting used to getting up every few hours to feed but seriously, the baby isn't due until June -- you'd think I'd want to store up sleep, not forego it!
Well, that's all my news until we see the doctor. This all seems pretty surreal right now. I suppose it will be real enough soon.
P.S. I'm still itching to get a dog. David is getting more excited about the idea so maybe soon!
