6-ish weeks

Hello everyone! :)

I am approximately 6 weeks along. I say approximately because I don't quite remember if my cycle was to start the last day or two of February or the first day or two of March. My first OB appointment is April 20th. So, 8 days!! I can't wait!! I probably won't get an ultrasound or anything, but just knowing that I have something pregnancy related going on is exciting.

No symptoms to speak of really. My girls are a little sore. Sometimes I feel a little queasy, but it never lasts and isn't consistent. No heartburn. Minor tiredness. So, pretty lucky thus far. Although, if I remember correctly, my symptoms didn't really start with B until I was 7-8 weeks. We'll see. I'm torn because I want symptoms, but dread symptoms. I want the symptoms so this all feels a bit more real to me, but dread them for the obvious reasons.

I'm still dealing with the shock of this whole thing. I have moments of panic when I think about the fact that Brian will be deployed when this little miracle is due. To think that I will be here, with B and a newborn.....all by myself......for almost 9 months.....well, frankly, it scares the hell out of me. I'm not sure how I'm going to juggle a toddler, a newborn, school, household responsibilities, and dealing with a deployment by myself. It is going to make for an interesting time, I'm sure. Aside from the few moments of panic, I'm thrilled to be experiencing this again. I don't take it for granted for a second, and know how blessed I am to be able to conceive with such ease. My heart aches for those that struggle with fertility.

Cute B story- We told him the other day that I had a baby in my tummy. He said, "I have a baby in my tummy too!!!" Heh....he said this as he lifts his shirt and points to his belly. It was so cute!! :) He has NO idea what is in store for him. :)

Later, I will post a belly pic. I have to have Brian take it for me. I think I am going to try to do them bi-weekly this time around. It should be a little easier to keep track of and better for blogging purposes. :)

That's all for now!
