Finally Pregnant!

Soon it will have been two whole months since that July 9th Monday morning when I was shocked to see the plus sign show up on the home pregnancy test. Keith and I had just returned home late the night before from our vacation in Washington D.C. and were taking the day off to recoup from the trip. Instead, we zoomed off to Dr. Trolice's to get a blood test because I was in complete denial that we were actually finally pregnant. It wasn't until my ultrasound three weeks later that I really felt certain that this was for real! Something about seeing that tiny heart beat fluttering away really took my breath away!

For those who don't know (like there's anyone on Earth who doesn't), Keith and I have been trying to get pregnant for quite some time and finally visited a fertility specialist last January. Lots of testing and just a little bit of Clomid later...here we are! Thanks, Dr. Trolice!

So here I am, at 11 weeks and I'm just now getting around to starting this blog! The two things that are most surprising to me so far:
1. How tired I am. People warned me, but I had no idea. I thought they were full of#@!. They weren't. I used to go to bed as late as midnight or 1am and still be up for work, but now, I'm in bed and ready for shut-eye by 10p. Keith is really enjoying that.

2. How finicky of an eater I've become. I'm trying so hard to eat well and really finding it almost impossible right now. Keith is really not enjoying this. But, he is very, very supportive.

So, now that it's 8:51p, I need to go find my jammies, brush my teeth and get in bed so I can read before I fall asleep!
