6 Weeks Plus 4 Days

I kept forgetting to post on 6 Week Friday and my weekend was quite busy so here is the belated 6 Week post. Everything is going well so far. I am actually feeling better today than I have in about a week or so. I finally got the whole sleeping thing under control - going to bed earliar and sleeping pretty soundly until around 3am where it is pee time at my house.

According to the books who are not my friend, it is the increased blood in my body that increases dramatically now that I'm pregnant (not knocked up - no one finds the humor in me saying I'm knocked up. I find it an endearing term myself) which leads to a lot of extra fluid getting processed by my kidneys and ending up in my bladder. As my uterus grows that will also play a part in my frequent bathroom visits. Plus when I'm at work, I'm drinking a lot of water which is good for the skin, the pooping and much better for me than Diet Coke but I pay the price for the eau all day long.

On the weekend Owen and I told our extended family the good news. I highly recommend telling the people you love something they want to hear because the reactions were freaking awesome. Everyone was so happy. Owen wanted to wait until we were further ahead (the mandatory 3 months) but I figured that everyone we told this weekend would be told if there was any bad news so why not let them in on the good news? There was a lot of squeeling (Michelle in Buchans) and a lot of squeezing (my ma's whole fam damiliy!). Good news is awesome.

This is also the week that I've decided to tell people about this blog. Full disclosure I guess. I want the people I love and who love me to join me on this journey to the Epidural Empire. No time like the present.

How I'm Feeling: Today is a good day, a very good day
