14 Weeks Today!

Hello, everyone! I decided to start this blog at the suggestion of my very dear friend, Margaret, who lives in South Carolina. Her daughter did a blog when she lived across the country and was pregnant with her first grandson, and she really appreciated being able to be a part of that with her.

Here we go...
I'm 14 weeks along today (not sure why I count from Thursdays, but there you go!). I didn't feel so great early on, but am feeling much better now. Hubby is nagging me, very gently, that I now need to get myself back to the gym and at least walk a few laps... I know he is right.

So, my thought for today, which I read somewhere, but can't remember where to attribute, is "A man becomes a father the minute the baby is born. A woman becomes a mother the minute she finds out she's pregnant. " I completely agree. My husband actually asked me if some of my symptoms were - seriously - in my head.
Now I admit, I am not a puker. Never have been. I can probably count on one hand the number of times (including drinking) I have vomited. I did not "get sick" or have "morning sickness" - I just felt like crap all day long, and wanted to sleep about 20 hours a day.

SO, I just am really waiting for my "baby bump" to come along to prove I'm pregnant=) We did get to hear the heartbeat at the last dr appointment (June 7 - 11 1/2 weeks).... which helped a bit. You'll all be interested to know that even with 10 weeks of gym-less ness, and a diet consisting mostly of french fries and potato salad, I had not gained any weight. Not sure how that's happening, but I'm ok with it! (as was my dr, just for the record!)

Of course, you all know I poke fun at my hubby, but he has been the best husband a knocked-up girl could ask for. He makes me dinner (potato salad, potato chips, baked potatoes, french fries), listens to me complain, and tucks me into bed while it's still light outside. I know he's still...uh... adjusting... to the thought that we've actually DONE IT. I can't say I blame him. I can't even talk about "That Event Which Will Not Be Named" at the end of the pregnancy. let's not go there yet, ok??

All right, well, hope this was enough info for a first post. Enjoy, leave comments (be nice, please! I'll cry!), and ask questions you might have.
Love to you all-
