One more week

It would be wrong to say I feel ambivalent about the pregnancy. But I don't feel like I should be doing anything right now. We still have to wait one more week for an ultrasound to tell us what's going on in there, if baby is developing like he should and all is well. I feel like I'm in some sort of limbo. I don't want to go buying a bunch of stuff (though it sounds like fun!) when I'm so unsure of everything.

It's hard sometimes to know whether what I'm experiencing is just from the progesterone or if it's pregnancy. I'm constantly evaluating my symptoms. Am I as tired as I was last week? What does it mean if I have more energy? Am I hungrier or less hungry? The change in my breasts is pretty real (I've gone up about two cup sizes since finding out!), but that's rarely enough to convince me. I do have the occasional cramps and occasional sharp pains in my side that Your Pregnancy Week by Week tells me are normal signs that my uterus is growing.

But is it real? I can't tell. And I still have to wait one more week to know more.

Just wanted to add a shout-out to my friend Shelli who is finally pregnant with what looks to be a stick-around baby! Many congratulations, girl! May you have a rather uneventful next few months before meeting your little one this fall. I wish you all the best.

1 - Thanks Sweetie... I know how difficult a place you are in. It's just as stressful knowing as not knowing. Ignorance is sometimes not always bliss, I think. Just look at how well I've handled having TOO MUCH information. ;-) Symptom-wise, mine have come and go (except for the ever expanding boobage). I'm sure things are progressing nicely. I'll be waiting here with you for my follow-up next week too. (Comment this)

2 - Dear Beca,

please change your look of this site, would you?
I can NOT read the first inch on every line because it is blocked with the blue of your theme.

I want to be part of this and read up on whats going on with your pregnancy!

Love you
