Monday
Still No Symptoms
During this past week, this first week I have known I am pregnant, I have vacillated between:
1. Extreme happiness
2. Worry that I have an ectopic pregnancy
3. Happiness again
4. Fear of miscarriage
5. Happiness again
6. Worries over pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes
7. Happiness again
I complain about not having any symptoms but surely these back-and-forth emotions are a sign of pregnancy hormones? This time would be much easier if I could talk to someone but we are keeping it a secret so I have to stay mum about my worries.
Adam has been a great sounding board but I'm beginning to realize that he thinks I am crazy. Oh well, he better get used to it because we'll have roughly 9 more months of this!
Aside from all of the back and forth emotions, I still have no pregnancy symptoms. I really cannot wait until our first doctor's appointment (June 3rd) so we can finally hear a heartbeat! Then this pregnancy will feel more real to me.
From the day I found out I was pregnant, I have had no caffeine, no sugar and, obviously, no alcohol. Even though some caffeine is allowed, I have been wanting to give it and sugar up so this is the perfect excuse. The hardest part of this is forgoing iced tea when I eat lunch with my parents. I am convinced they will figure it out.
I feel great though and I'm looking forward to a happy and healthy pregnancy!
UPDATE: I felt a little bit of nausea this afternoon. Yea!
