Fat bottomed girls...

...you make the rockin' world go 'round.

Happy New Year! 2009 is gonna be a jampacked year, me giving birth and all...good times.

So I've been thinking about the fact that over the next year, my body is going to go through a major transformation. Im probably going to gain 35lbs or more. I know a lot of it is going to be stuff other than fat stores, but still. And my belly is gonna get HUUUGE! I mean, Im going to be carrying a person in there, a whole baby. Its just been blowing my mind. I'm obviously thrilled to have these changes, but its still a little daunting at the same time.

But in all honesty, this pregnancy probably wont feel real to me until my body DOES start to change. Right now I just feel under the weather, and my other inclination of pregnancy is the positive test. Until I get to a doc and see an ultrasound, this kid is a very little mystery. I've been wonder a lot lately of what the baby will look like, what kind of mom Ill be, what kind of Dad Sean will be, its all very surreal. I used to think of these things, but it didn't seem real. See thats the weird thing about this pregnancy so far, it feels real, but it doesn't. Its really hard to explain. Anyway, I really hope I can see this get real soon...

Another way to obsess...

So in case I couldn't obsess MORE about this pregnancy, here's a site that counts how many DAYS I have left. Its pretty neat, though its only a guesstimate of how far along I actually am, I'll only know for sure when I do my first prenatal visit.

Anyway, if you want to obsess with me, come join me!

Hello BFP!

Heeeeeeeres BABY! After 15 cycles of trying, we are finally pregnant! I am about 4.5 weeks along so far. This blog is mostly for me to just blab about everything this pregnancy is going to bring. My symptoms are as follows:

Nausea- This started a couple days ago, some cookies I ate smelled funny afterwards.

Breasts- Uhm, are these really mine? Holy cow! They are so sore I cant even think about them.

Gas/Constipation- This is really annoying, I feel like a walking bubble/gas bag.

Sense of Smell- I have Supermans sense of smell, I smell everything in a room, which is nauseating (See above post)

Frequent Urination- I had an overactive bladder before this, but maaaaan. I cant sit still for more than 30 minutes.

Now that you know all the gorey details of my changing body...haha.

No one told me how much anxiety I would feel after I finally got pregnant.
My biggest fear is miscarrying. With my age (22) I only have a 10-15% chance of that happening, but it still looms. Also, Im worried about our health insurance situation, there being no health insurance. I hope that is straightened out very soon. :( I just want this baby so badly, and I want he/she to be healthy too.
Heres hopin'...
