Pregnancy is a mixed bag.
Pregnancy is a mixed bag. On the one hand, I’m thrilled about the new life growing within me. On the other hand, morning sickness, blurred vision, headaches, faintness, and exhaustion are taking their toll on me. I’m feeling a bit better today, so perhaps those symptoms will gradually decrease in severity. I’ve got my fingers crosssed.
My first doctor’s appointment is tomorrow. I’m both excited and nervous. It will be nice to have someone answer my questions and put to rest my fears. I’d really like to know how far along I am (my period is very irregular so I haven’t been able to calculate the est. due date) so I can start making arrangements for a prolonged absence from work.
Two days ago we shared the good news with our parents. Being the nervous Nelly that I am, I was worried that they would think we were foolish for getting pregnant so soon after our wedding. I shouldn’t have worried. They were thrilled…my parents especially, since this will be their first grandchild. My mother is chomping at the bit to start spoiling the child.
