A new chapter

I'm not a big blogger, but there's about to be a drastic change in my life that I feel the urge to write about. I'm pregnant! I know that I'm not the first woman to ever blog about her pregnancy or kids, but its nice to have some outlet to talk and share your thoughts. And boy do I have a lot to talk about these days, mainly because I haven't shouted the news on social media just yet.

I'm currently only 6 weeks pregnant and as a general rule am waiting for make it a Facebook status until the end of my first trimester; so I've got a while. Obviously my hubby knows and we recently just told close family and friends the exciting news. It's our first pregnancy, so there's a lot of emotion from everyone.

I found out on January 1st after TTCing for about 3 months, so you could say it was a nice way to start the new year. My last LMP was Dec 1st, therefore I am due around September 7th. I will be going in for my first sonogram on the 28th to make sure the little peanut is in the right place and that there only one! Not that two or more *eeks* wouldn't be a blessing, but one at a time is the plan.

Right now I'm just trying to survive week by week, day by day, praying that I don't miscarriage. I'm trying to do everything right by this peanuts; I don't smoke, I've abstained from alcohol and even from caffeine! I'm also trying to eat right and lose some weight. Thankfully I'm not having as many cramps as I use to have during weeks 4-5, but in return my nausea has been getting worst. Yuck. So I've stocked up on crackers and ginger ale! Not vomiting as of yet :)
