Retreat! Of the yoga variety

Took Baby B on a 2 night yoga retreat. Thankfully baby cooperated. Minus a few moments during a relaxation pose where I was sure I was going to have to get up and run to the bathroom. I made it through. I also didn't sleep much but I suspect that's more to do with being away from home and less to do with B.

I came home relaxed, rejuvenated and generally refreshed.
My 31st birthday has come and gone. No wine this time around. I got to celebrate with my friends, family and B (though not everyone was privy to the other guest of honour!). I got spoiled, as per usual.
Brent thought chinese food would be a good idea. Baby B did not agree. I had to stop eating for fear my dinner would make an encore.
I've felt really good the last couple of days. It's sad that feeling good makes me nervous. A few bouts of nausea today and I'm hoping that's a good sign. I've had a slight pulling in my left side. Not painful just feels like a muscle pull. I mistakenly googled... I'm hoping it's just the "round ligament pain" people speak of.
FINALLY met with my family doc last Thurs. Mostly paperwork and questions. Appointments scheduled for once a month until Dec. Then I start seeing an OB. First ultrasound is booked for Sept 25. Dr. Wright wanted me to have an early one because of my family history of twins. Yikes. I'm just happy to get to see B before the 18-20 week anatomy scan. Sept 25 seems soooooo far.

Can't wait to see you Baby B!

Satisfied

I have been craving ice cream for two days... I caved today (I also succumbed to eating a cheeseburger and fries but that's a whole other issue) and had a mcflurry. I feel much better!
Once again, I'm going to be a giant by the end of this.
What can I say? Baby b likes ice cream!!!! Takes after momma!

I am a baby factory!

Today marks 6 weeks. 6 weeks pregnant with our first little baby. We found out Friday Aug 3, four days before my period was due.

I'm not 100% sure that the enormity of the situation has really sunk in. I talk about being pregnant, I get excited, but I'm not really sure that I believe it just yet. I keep thinking I it will just click. I think I'm too nervous/anxious/scared at this point to really let myself enjoy it. I'm trying not to think about the "what-ifs" at this point, no need to have that energy out there.
What has changed? Well, my boobs are killing me. I literally cannot roll over in bed. Poor Brent has accidentally elbowed me and I'm pretty sure he thought I was dying. I compared it to me hitting him in the balls, he didn't buy it. I still wonder if that's a good comparison. They're also growing already. I'm almost positive that this will give me away before any belly bump is noticeable. Unless of course I tell people I got implants. No?
I pee a lot. That's really nothing new.
I get waves of nausea but thankfully haven't had the pleasure of upchucking just yet. Though I was positive last week in Costco that I was going to lose what little food I had in my stomach all over the cashier. I didn't.
I get nauseous when I'm hungry. I have realized the remedy to this is eating. A LOT. Clearly I will be a beluga whale by the end of this 9 months. Thanks B (and I mean baby and not Brent, though he clearly bares some of the blame!).
Mood swings haven't happened yet; however, Brent might offer a different opinion on that one.
OH! And I am TIRED all. of. the. time. I don't mind that though.
I'm not complaining, just documenting.
I don't like to wish away time but I can't wait to really feel like there's a baby in there. I still find the whole I'm growing a human thing to be surreal. Anyways.... hopefully this is  the start of our healthy little ones intro to blogging. Look out world, Baby B's journey has begun.
