I was thinking of things to add during the week last week, but I can’t really think of much this time. I’m mostly feeling the same. Still not sick. But some smells put me off. We used to looooove to get Chinese food. Now I can’t stand the thought of kung pao chicken. (I don’t even want to type it!) Pete still enjoys it, so he gets it sometimes, but I haven’t eaten it in a while. I’ve been talking to a few pregnant people and some recently-pregnant people, and they would talk about how they were always hungry. I really hadn’t experienced that. Until last week. Only problem: I’m hungry, but NOTHING sounds good. Absolutely nothing. So frustrating. I know I’m rambling, but click past the break. I’m just warming up. Continue reading

Week 8
Not much of an update this time, but I have a goal to post at least weekly updates.
After last weekend, I thought I’d never survive the work week. But, somehow, I miraculously had enough energy to make it through the day. At least until I came home. =P
Adding to the fatigue, there’s another symptom, but I usually forget about it by morning. Dreams! Continue reading
Week 7
And here begins the seventh week of pregnancy. Still no sickness, so I really shouldn’t complain. But HOLY SMOKES I am soooo pooped. No one ever talks about how incredibly tired you are in the first trimester. I can barely even function. I wonder how I survive the work day. It would be so nice to be tired, go to bed for the night or take a nap, and then actually wake up RESTED. I just wake up and think, wow, I’m still dead tired. Continue reading
Not so much a secret anymore….
Many more people are now “in” on our news. I thought maybe telling people would make it feel more real, but it hasn’t to the extent I thought it would.
On Saturday night, we told my brother. I’d been wanting to anyway, but I kind of had to since he’s too keen for his own good. =P Over the holiday weekend, we visited Tulsa, so we got to tell Pete’s folks and our friends Jon and Itsuka. (For those who don’t know, Jon and Pete have been best friends since they were kids. Pete views Jon as a brother.) I had intended to post an update for when I hit six weeks pregnant (that was Sunday), but that didn’t happen. Continue reading
OMG Scott, I’m going to punch your face
Last night I had a headache and I was already tired, so I went to bed pretty early. I woke up again though around 2:30 am, tried to go back to sleep, but gave up and decided to drink some ginger tea and eat some crackers to ease my empty and slightly queasy stomach. Scott’s online, I figure I can talk to him. Right? RIGHT? Since when were you more intuitive than a woman, Scott? Click past the break for the entire awkward conversation. =P Continue reading
