I'm Still Alive . . .

It's ironic that as soon as I have something worth writing about about, I don't have any time to write.   A week ago last Thursday, I had my first official prenatal visit.  My husband came along as the receptionist had said that I was going to get my first ultrasound.  I haFirst Ultrasoundd no idea they did ultrasounds so early in a pregnancy.  We learned that our baby does have a heart beat, is correctly implanted in the uterus, and there's only one in there.

My morning sickness hasn't gotten any worse.  I suppose I should consider myself lucky.  However, I have developed an aversion to vegetables and dark chocolate.  Before I was pregnant, I was very diligent in making sure I was eating tons of veggies and huge green salads.  Now I can't stand them unless they're deeply hidden in some other dish.  This is particularly distressing since I have a CSA share and have been receiving large quantities of vegetables.  The vegetables have been sitting in my refrigerator glaring reproachfully at me every time I open the door.

Most of this last week I've been gone to a conference in Canada.  To my relief, I managed to keep my food down the entire time though there were some tricky moments in the airplane coming back. It was a good conference but I'm very glad to be back home.

So glad to hear you're ok! I was wondering where you had gone.

Hang in there! The sickness part won't last much longer, hopefully!

PS- very cute baby. ;)

Even though this sounds completely strange, please savor every minute of the months ahead.  Before you know it, you will feel your little one move, then others will be able to feel them, and then in a blink of an eye, it will be all over and you will be holding your precious little new addition.  I am almost done with my pregancy, and it is kinda sad as it went all too fast.  So, from one expectant mother at the end to an expectant mother at the begining, cherrish every moment

As odd as this sounds, while I obviously don't like morning sickness, it's kind of comforting.  It's the only sign I have at the moment that I'm really still pregnant :)
