A Pregnant Pause

spingirl | 12 September, 2006 10:54

Okay, so my one or two regular readers might have noticed that it has been a while since my last posting. This is because it's really hard to type on a computer when you are spending most of your day face down in the toilet or curled into a little ball feeling like you wish you were face down in the toilet. Too much partying? Not quite. No, actually, I'm just knocked up.

Yes, after 7 years of marriage, Scott and I are finally reproducing - frightening thought, I know. Going into the whole pregnancy, I knew that there might be "discomforts." Little did I know I would be one of the lucky ones who would pretty much cease to function until the end of the first trimester. Nausea started up around 5 weeks and progressed to daily vomiting at 9 weeks. Exhaustion? Check. Heartburn? Check. Frequent urination? Check. Headaches? Check. Backaches? Check.

Wanting to never be touched by my husband ever again? Check.


Of course, this is not to say there have not been good moments during the last 8 weeks. Seeing the wee one on the ultrasound for the first time and watching its little heartbeat was very cool. We had another ultrasound yesterday and were able to see little fingers as the kiddo appeared to rock out to the ultrasonic vibrations - yep, we've got a dancing baby. Figures.

So, it is 6 months until we welcome our little bundle of diapers and squeals into the world, but I can honestly say that we are looking forward to it. The dogs, on the other hand, are not going to know what hit them...
