According to my doctor, I am as of today 5 weeks pregnant. My due date is March 15, 2007. I guess I should be saying "we are 5 weeks" and "our due date is" but as of right now this pregnancy feels like something that is happening soley to me. I'm too early for my husband to feel the baby and so far I'm not having any symptoms that would affect him directly - no vomiting etc. plus with him working nights he hasn't been affected by my 5am trips to the bathroom.
The only word to describe this whole thing is surreal. It's like when you've wanted something for so long and finally get it, you don't know what to do with it. Plus, I don't feel pregnant - or whatever that means. I felt a little crampy this morning and super hungry by the time I got to work but I don't have any of the feelings I thought I'd have. No tingling, no glow except that my newly developed adult acne has disappeared. Yay hormones!
I'm going to Indigo today at lunch with Lee Ann (due 3 weeks before me) to buy some pregnancy books to ensure that I spend the next 35 weeks in a state of paranoia. I know I should be enjoying this time, enjoying the fact that I have a secret but I really can't wait until I'm further along and can tell people and get an ultrasound to see little Lulu (there is no way that Owen would agree to name our child - if it was a girl - Lulu but I think that's what I'll call my little raisin (that's how big the baby is at 5 weeks. I find it ironic that I'm calling it a baby already. For someone as pro-choice as I am I feel like I should refer to it as a fetus but as soon as the two lines/plus sign became visible I started thinking of a baby growing inside of me).
How I'm Feeling - TGIF
