The hardest thing for me to give up is:
Unhealthy food! I'm trying my best to eat the healthiest food I can so that Baby C can grow into a healthy baby AND so that I don't gain 50 pounds!
This month I told:
Who didn't I tell? Basically our entire support network knows! I know some people prefer to wait until they've made it through the first trimester to share the news. But, the way I see it, so many of you have been there with us through the entire TTC (Trying To Conceive) journey, I wouldn't dream of robbing you of all the joy and excitement we're experiencing now!
They reacted by:
Let's see . . . there was applause, tears, high fives, hugs, swiffering (Frank), cheering, screaming, revelations of secret pregnancies, singing, . . . am I leaving anything out?
This month at my prenatal visit I learned that:
I technically haven't had my first prenatal visit yet, since I'm still with my RE. But as far as those visits go, I've learned that the things that SCARE ME TO DEATH can be considered normal during a pregnancy.
I've also learned that you have to pay very close attention to the screen when having an ultrasound or you could miss the good stuff (i.e. the heartbeat)!
New pregnancy symptoms I had this month:
Other than that one evening of morning sickness, I don't really have any symptoms to speak of! Well, other than a fairly active bladder! Oh, and I'm really tired most of the time. The last two days have been rather difficult adjusting to being back at work and not being able to take a nap!
Also, if worry and anxiety can count as a symptom, then you can add that to the list!
Other than that I'm just peachy!!
My hopes:
That I can learn how to just take a deep breath and relax! I've really been driving myself crazy with the worry and fear! I just want to be able to enjoy this without worrying everyday that something will go wrong!
My fears:
That something will go wrong! That I won't be able to stop worrying!

Desiree pray to God with me and agree with me that God will give you peace and teach you how to relax and just enjoy being pregnerant. And I think it's perfectly normal to experience anxiety. Ask your Mom and Jackie ask your aunts and friends how they behaved during their first pregnerancy and how they dealt with the excitement and anxiety of being pregnerant. Desiree you don't have to enter the joy of being pregnerant alone. I'm sure you'll get some fun stories and some awesome advice on how to deal with the fear of something going wrong.
I love you Ree'
