Announcement!!

Hello my loved ones. Now, this is one post I have been purposely putting off and therefore I do not consider it procrastinating. There is an actual reason why I haven't posted sooner, so I know you'll all forgive me, as you have done in the past :) This last week has been a bit of a rough one for me physically. Between being fairly nausiated to having a terrible cold, I've been verging on miserable, but I think I see a light at the end of the tunnel. At least for the cold. The nausia, on the other hand, may be here to stay for a while longer. Yes, it is morning sickness. I had my first doctors appointment yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat, but because I'm seeing a midwife this time, I don't think I'll be getting ultrasounds unless I or the baby need one to make sure everything is alright. The heartbeat is about 164 bpm and I'm around 8 or 9 weeks, which puts me due in early May. Knowing me and how my other babies have been, I have no illusions that this one will be on time or early, so I'll probably end up with either an anniversary baby (our anniversary is the 12th) or a birthday that he/she gets to share with an uncle and a cousin on the 10th. Obviously I'm hoping for a girl, but I think I might come to terms eventually if it turns out to be a boy. At least we have all the stuff already, but I'm a bit girl crazy right now. I need a bit more pink and purple and a few more ruffles in my life. I'm craving red meat all day and Jeff thinks I may be slightly anemic. My bp was lower than it normally is, 90/60 rather than 120/70, but that could be because I've been so sick with this darn cold. So far my nausia hasn't been too bad, but this cold has been overpowering any affects it has had, but now that the cold is starting to subside some, my stomach is churning. Whether it is still the grossness from the cold or something else, only time will tell. I'll try and keep you updated with all that is going on. Good luck and keep safe. I love you all.
