Free At Last

And it is a beautiful thing! I have been free from nausea for almost 2 weeks and though food still isn't my best friend it is nice to feel hungry and want to eat at times. It is funny at how much easier it is to have a good attitude and enjoy being pregnant with out the pesty nausea. I really should not have complained as compared to some 5weeks is nothing, but I had about had it. I am still wicked tired though. All the advise I get does not provide hope for relief on this front. Everyone just says, "get used to it" I am starting to get more and more excited about this kid. While still not that real yet, it is sinking in that I am going to be a mother and I am remembering what that means. Its pretty cool. I went to my sister-in-laws babyshower and that uped the happy/excited level a few notches. I still am not showing, but am entering the "is she gaining weight or is she pregnant" stage. I also have stopped buttoning most of my pants and just wearing long shirts. Hopefully this tactic will continue to work for a month or two. The next apt is in about a week and a half and I have no idea what they will do there. I will be in my 14th week then so I'm guessing they will check the heartbeat, but that I would imagine is about it. The visit after that should be the exciting one where we find out the sex. I keep bouncing back and forth between wanting a boy and a girl. They both have their pluses. We will see! But at this point I am feeling pretty good and gaining excitement for the months ahead, and holding back a heart attach as I look at all the stuff we need to buy and how much it costs! Parents weren't lying when they said kids are expensive. We are going with the bare minimum though so hopefully it wont be too bad. Brady starts dental school 2weeks so I am taking advantage of my remaining time to have all my dinners cooked for me and my house cleaned. I don't know what we will do once he starts school. Hopefully I will have a bit more energy by then. :)
