We found out I was pregnant on April 14th.  I didn’t really think I was pregnant, just wanted to take the test to prove myself right so I can feel okay about having a large glass of wine.  Obviously I was proven wrong.  Those two pink lines were completely unexpected.  I called Nick and told him he needed to come over ASAP.  I called my mom, who said “Okay, and how do you feel about this?”  I didn’t know how I felt just yet, I needed to talk to Nick first.  Nick came over, I showed him the tests and he pulled me into the living room and sat me down.  He told me that he was on board with whatever I wanted to do.  We talked and decided that we wanted to be a family.  Once it was decided we both started to get excited.

Now that we’re going to have a baby, my drinking days came to an abrupt end.  No more wine after work, no more cocktails on the weekend.  No more coffee or raw fish sushi.  Now begins the days of lethargy, constipation and heartburn.  My friends will say that they heard me complain about this constantly.  I would say that I mentioned it every once in a while to remind them that I was always uncomfortable.  I was lucky enough to not have much morning sickness, nausea was frequent, but there was no vomiting.  My ability to eat, even while feeling sick and heartburn raging, never wavered.  My hormone rages can clear a room as well as pregnancy gas.  It hasn’t been all bad though.
