6 weeks.

I am not posting this post until the announcement has been made, but I felt like making a record of how I feel anyway. I'll just keep it as a draft until I decide it's time. I'm thinking I'll wait until all of this morning (all-day-long) sickness has gone away.

I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks 1 day. I wasn't going to take a test until 5 weeks, but Blair made me. They were submitting days off for the year for work, and he wanted to know if he could count on taking work off for a baby. This was our third cycle of trying, and I was way too spoiled with Noah coming on first try cause I was already getting frustrated. Silly me.

Anyway, as you all know, morning sickness doesn't usually start until around 6 or 7 weeks, so for a couple of weeks (maybe 1 1/2) I just waited for it to hit. I indulged in all those things that I knew I'd end up hating, and it was a great couple of weeks. About three days ago, it officially hit me. I now FEEL pregnant. I am grateful that I can FEEL pregnant so that I am not doubting that it's actually happening, but wow. I'm a wimp! I'm already feeling ridiculously whiny and no fun to be around.

The saddest thing is that all those things I normally love have become gross to me. Diet Coke tastes like dirty dish water. Even the smell of beef jerky or a big juicy burger makes me want to make a mad dash to the bathroom. Chocolate doesn't have the same appeal...instead I tend to pop a piece of super sugary candy in my mouth since that seems to help a little. Mint gum makes me 100x more nauseous. I had to make a switch to strawberry flavor since I still really like chewing gum.

Starting to feel the exhaustion coming on as well. It may be partly because of the sudden lack of Diet Coke in my system keeping me awake. I think a daily nap is going to have to be in the cards, though.

Anyway, I'm due September 16th. Or 19th. I dunno...I am confused at how that is calculated, but I'll have a doctor's appointment in a week, so they'll give me the word. I already put all my 'week marks' in my phone so I'm hoping the 16th is it so I don't have to change them...lol.
