I Peed on a Stick

A long anticipated has finally occurred in my life. I am pregnant. I think I've been wanting to be a mom since I was a baby. It still seems unreal, as I am only 9 weeks along. So I'm not showing yet. And I haven't gotten an ultrasound yet.

I did the home pregnancy test on February 17th. The day after Ontario's new Family Day holiday. I was tempted to take it on Family Day, but more than a few times since we've started trying I have taken test, that turn out negative and then to my disappointment Aunt Flow would come along. But of course I couldn't wait THAT much longer ;)



For some reason I couldn't get a clear shot. But there are two lines there. It was still a bit faint, which made me wonder... but I had seen so many definite negatives before.

For the past 3 or 4 weeks it has certainly been confirmed with the event of morning sickness. Or I should say all day long sickness including an awful soap like taste in my mouth. It hasn't been as bad as some women get. I rarely actually toss my cookies. The thing I find strange is that through the nausea I still have an appetite. Just some things I can't stand the thought of...like chicken. But my homemade egg mcmuffins seem to be a miracle. They keep the nausea at bay and they taste wonderful. I just have to make sure I don't eat too many.

I have only gained a pound or two, but my breast have jumped a whole cup size. I'm small to begin with, but these things are really in my way. Especially at bedtime.

I'm looking forward to my first meeting with the obstetrician on April 8th. And my first ultrasound a week later.

More updates to come...
