Knocked Up

I've been keeping a secret for the last six weeks and I FINALLY get to spill the beans! Which is such a relief, because I'm the worst secret keeper ever.

Well, here you go.

















I went for my first appointment this morning. Besides the never ending nausea, sore boobs and crying for no reason, I haven't really felt pregnant (I know, I'm a loon), so I was half expecting the midwife to tell me I was mistaken.

Midwife: Mrs Kay, it's just that you're, um, NOT pregnant. Not in the least.

Me: But what about the uncontrollable sobbing I did over Grey's Anatomy?

Midwife: Well, emotional issues aren't really my specialty, but I can give you the number of a really great psychologist.

Me: But my pants aren't fitting anymore!

Midwife: Yes, I noticed that. I can also recommend a really great weight loss specialist.

So to see my baby squirming on the ultrasound screen was not only reassuring, it really drove home that I am, in fact, pregnant with a REAL LIVE HUMAN BEING inside me.

Amazing.

As for stats, I'm 10 weeks along, due January 11th, and settling into some very intense cravings.

    CONGRATULATIONS!
    I loved being pregnant with both of mine, and they were both very different pregnancies.
    If you feel like talking about anything just let me know!

    Enjoy it!

    Woohoo! Parabéns pra você! I can't wait to hear Gabi's thoughts on the matter!

    Babies are so awesome. I'm fighting the urge to get pregnant again - now. Pretty pathetic given that Gabriela's only 8 weeks old. Post often and maybe I can live vicariously through your pregnancy instead. ;)

    Huge congratulations Laural! I was just thinking as I started to scroll through my seriously overloaded Google Reader, "I need to check in on Laural. I wonder if she is pregnant yet."
    So fun.
    Glad you are feeling well and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is just as nice.
