Bring on the Pregnancy Symptoms...

Where should we begin. Well, lets start with the Nausea, no not the vomiting just the constant feeling of needing to vomit. The kind you get where you wish you would just barf to get that feeling out of your system. Now I know it could be worse, my sister has been throwing up almost her entire pregnancy but she did admit that after wards she felt better. So this entire day feeling of needing to throw up but not being able to... yeah it stinks.

Second, let's discuss the acne. The horrible pimples, that I was lucky enough to occasionally evade while I was a teenager. Yep now I officially have joined the acne club. Now I know I shouldn't be complaining but does anything make you feel uglier than pimples, not only on your face.... NO that would just be too easy. Nope now I not only have acne on my face but under my chin, behind my ears, on my chest. In case my breasts were not going through enough changes, now I have pimples on them... yay!!

Next, and because these next few are all pretty similar. We welcome dizziness, headaches and faintness. Oh yeah those all sound like cute little dwarfs but no unfortunately they are all common pregnancy symptoms that have decided to hit me the past couple of weeks.

Now since I'm not trying to complain (well a little, but mostly trying to share) I thought I would share some symptoms I haven't had yet!!

My breasts although very, very tender have not grown any bigger. Which so far has been a blessing. I do NOT want my breasts to get bigger.... at all. My bras take up enough room in my dresser already (not because of quantity either). They are expensive when I have to buy new ones, not to mention hard to find, size AND comfort are important.

So that's pretty much my symptoms so far. My stomach hasn't grown any, even though starting out with a belly already now I have an excuse. Which is nice, now when one of my kids (from my nanny jobs) asks if there is a baby in my belly I can positively say YES!!! I'm still very very excited to be pregnant and would take any of these symptoms plus more to have this chance!!!

My first Blog: Catching Up

I love to write and after reading a few other people's blogs I have decided to write one as well. It seems like an amazing way to keep people posted about what's going on in our lives. So in the past two months Ken came home from Great Lakes, IL he is in the navy and was gone for boot camp (2 1/2 months )and then 3 months of training. Ken and I have moved across country from Washington (state) to Virginia. Yes we drove and it was so worth the time we were able to spend together especially since he just got home. One week before we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary we found out we are PREGNANT!!! So we have been quite a busy little family. I'm excited we are starting this new chapter in our lives. Each day has been a new adventure and I'm so thrilled to be going through everything with my best friend (my hubby obviously). My due date is March 29th, 2010. Which of course with a hectic March already ( I could name all the birthdays but that might take up the whole dang page) which includes mine and Ken's birthday, we were not surprised. Currently I'm 8 weeks and 4 days!!
