Beautifully Irrational

I am seven weeks pregnant now and busy. I am working on cleaning my house and getting the nursery ready (yes, I know that I have forever still, but it involves me and cleaning, so better to start early). I caved and was able to pick some things up on ebay. I also started embroidering a really cute quilt top. It seems like there is such a long time (seven months), but we have to work out a budget for what we need, and the rate at which I do crafts - let's just say that if I started it *before* I was pregnant, there would still be no guarantee.

ps. I *really* need to get a sewing machine! I have patterns and fabric - but no machine...

Remember that no symptoms - no morning sickness thing - ha! That didn't last long. I don't have morning sickness, though... I have 'night sickness'. The closer I get to bedtime, the more nauseous I get.... Luckily, it's just nausea, but last night and much of today I have felt yucky. I am so ready for bed.

I haven't had many symptoms at all so far, except I am tired all of the time.

I started cleaning up and reorganizing my office yesterday. I plan on taking it a room at a time and ending up with the nursery. it is kind of slow going and I am taking a lot of breaks, but it is good to get organized.

Somewhere I have some material and a nursery pattern set. I might make some of the baby stuff myself, but I have to find it. I don't have a sewing machine though. It would definitely be worth it to get one. My friend Kara made a lot of her own maternity clothes and they were really cute. Wal-Mart always has different materials on clearance.

I did see some really good deals for baby clothes on ebay. I can't afford them right now and it is a little early to be buying them, but it is good to know, and I'll keep an eye out.

I also signed up for some free stuff on-line and some magazines for pregnant mothers.

I am so totally into this pregnancy. It's great. I am looking forward to the next seven months.

You are FIZZY! Much like your name you are a bubbly little pony and are always excited about something. You are a happy go lucky pony with a stick to it additude. You can be a little flaky but your a good hearted and crazily happy little pony.

What old skool my little pony are you?

I am finally starting to feel like I am pregnant. For the last two weeks, I have mainly felt pre-menstrual. That is easing off a bit now. I still have some cramping, and am starting to get a bit of nausea, but no morning sickness, thankfully.

Last night, we called my mother-in-law and my grandmother to tell them the good news. We are probably going to send out little announcement cards, but I think that I am going to wait until after my ultrasound on 3/17, to make sure everything is ok.

I am so happy, but also a bit panicked. There is so much to do, and then I'll have this wonderful little person to take care of.....

Well, I saw the doctor today and everything went really well. He decided to wait on the U/S - but just two weeks.

I'm only just over six weeks along, and if my cycle calculations are off - it wouldn't show much anyway.

He did confirm by blood test and physical exam that I am indeed pregnant - and while I did know that, it feels different to hear it from him, you know?

He seems like a good dr and I look forward to working with him.

I do have to go to the endocrinologist on Monday though... he is worried about my blood sugar. (I have diabetes related to my insulin resistance PCOS.)

I am really happy, though, and some of my worries have been eased.

Welcome to my journal. Yesterday, I found out that I am just over 6 weeks pregnant. I think my due date is 24 October 2004, right near Halloween. I am so happy and so scared and in such a state of shock.

For ten years, they have been telling me that this couldn't happen, and in the last year, I had pretty much started to give up on the idea of ever being a mom. It really feels like a miracle.

I don't have much family, and what I do have ins't close geographically, so I hope to use this journal to share my progress with them and with friends online.

I don't think I've ever been so happy and so scared all at the same time.
