Coming along

Well, the past couple weeks have been going ok. The nausea seems to have subsided, and I'm feeling much more energetic, more like myself. I don't have to come home and sleep for an hour before making dinner. Or eating for that matter. I can actually make it through the day without a nap if I need to (although I still tend to take a nap at lunch time when I can sneak it).

My eye stopped twitching about a week and a half ago, around the time that the exhaustion started to subside. I'm sure they are related. It will be interesting to see as my pregnancy progresses and I get more tired whether the eye twitch will return. I'm also curious to know if I get pregnant again someday in the future if I'll get the eye twitch again....but I think I'm getting ahead of myself.

I'm into my 11th week, and I'm trying to figure out when the first trimester finishes. I've been looking online, and some sources say the start of the 13th week, some say the start of the 14th. Either way, I'm almost a third of the way through! Crazy considering I only found out a few weeks ago. I wonder if the whole pregnancy will fly by like this (I'm guessing probably not).

Once I'm through the first trimester I plan to tell my boss....and I'm a little nervous about it. Not because I think he'll be upset, on the contrary, I'm sure he'll be excited for us. But I'm nervous about it because it makes it really real. Right now the only people who know I'm pregnant is immediate family, the few people they've told...sigh....hard to keep secrets and a couple girlfriends I slipped and told. I'm not really showing yet, although I have noticed my middle is a bit thicker and I've put on a few pounds....but now that I'm feeling better, I doesn't really seem like I'm pregnant. So once I tell my boss, once I start telling friends and extended family, there's no pretending.....there's no hiding it. My tummy will start to grow, my clothes will start to shrink, and soon enough our lives will be turned upside down. Not in a bad way. Just different.

And we all know that most of us don't take change easily. Thank goodness I have 9 months to adjust to the idea. :P
