Yay! Readers! Thank you girls! Although now I feel under pressure to say something interesting. Crumbs.
Well, I'm over nine weeks now. Time does pass. A friend asked if I was having a nice pregnancy the other day, and it took me by surprise. I think the honest answer is that it's OK. I don't love being pregnant yet, much as I love Pea. I don't find feeling sick a lot of the time nice, though I'm getting throughly used to it, which helps. It never occurred to me how uncomfortable the whole thing would be - not just the sickness, but aches and cramps and weird feelings inside. Feeling too full, which I suppose I am. I hope that gets better once my uterus pops out! I don't mind being tired at all, probably mostly due to having a lovely husband who does much more than his fair share and lets me go to bed at 9. I also love to sleep, so an excuse to nap is nice! I think what will be great is being able to TELL people. A fair few know already, but so many don't, and I have to pretend that actually I'm really fulfilled working in a shop and am not interested in a career at all. Which isn't true - I've found a new career, and I can deal with staying at the shop until my start date in February. After which, the 9-5ness of the shop will probably seem a whole lot more appealing!
It's interesting how much excitement about things in life is generated by others. I think Pea will seem a lot more real once all our friends are excited too. We think we're going to put off telling people until we've heard the baby's heart beating. I'm not actually sure when that will be - I'll see what the midwife thinks on Thursday.

Yes, it really is something you just can't know until you experience it, isn't it?! Even if you read somebody's pregnancy diary and get to hear about all the various detailed symptoms at great length (!!), it's still totally NEW when it's your own body going through it. I soooo hope it gets more fun and exciting for you very soon! I'm sure telling people will help, and hearing the heartbeat will be wonderful! If I could get it to you, you could borrow my doppler???
Hope the quease fades away soon as well. You'll feel much more happy-happy-pregnant-happy then! :)
Where are you, Meg?! I neeeeed a pregnancy update! :) Hope you're feeling well! xxx
