I am not very far along, 6 weeks actually.
I wanted to start this blog after keeping up with friends and their lives through their own blogs. I thought this would also be the easiest way to keep all our friends and family informed of the progress of the pregnancy and after.
So.... pregnancy update: I am very tired and find myself sleeping a lot. This is almost a blessing since I am no longer taking any medication. I have been told that it is safe for me to take all but one medication I was previously on for Fibromyalgia, but the baby would go through withdrawals after it is born. I am currently not comfortable with the whole withdrawal thing so I have chosen to not be on medication. I am also starting to experience nausea, not fun. I am told it will go away after the first trimester, which unfortunately is the week after Thanksgiving, I am hoping dinner will not be an issue. I am going to the doctor November 4th, election day, for my first check-up. My doctor likes to see people between 8 and 10 weeks.
As far as all the fun pregnancy things... we have started looking at names, but have decided not to tell anybody until the baby is born. We just don't want to hear "I knew someone with that name and they were horrible," or "That is my dog's name." I have also began imagining and planning the nursery. Of course if it is a boy it will be decorated with cars and I am thinking for a girl, ladybugs. Kenneth is really excited, of course he wants a boy, and is planning the chopper tricycle he wants to build for it.
My goal for this blog is to update it at least once a week, if not more. Stay tuned....
