I've decided to start a blog as a way to journal the next chapter of my life with my husband- pregnancy with our first baby!
We found out that we were expecting on August 28th, 2009 after taking THREE home tests which all were positive. I had a follow-up appointment the following Friday where I had blood drawn and learned on Monday that my HCG levels were at 5,092 which means that I'm about 4 weeks pregnant! Fortunately, I haven't felt too sick- I just feel like I need to sleep more than usual and have cramps and sore boobs.
Koa and I took a long walk today with the two pups which was nice because it's still like summer here even though it's September now. We read that exercising every day will make giving birth easier and keep me healthier so we've been going for the last few days to different parks or just around the neighborhood. We bring along a ball for the dogs so that they can run around freely and get some extra exercise- Conan could definitely stand to lose a few pounds!
Speaking of pounds, I'm scared to death of becoming a fat pregnant lady! Fine, I know that I'm supposed to gain weight, but I don't want to become a blob! So I've been trying to watch myself and not go overboard with eating, but I feel like everything tastes soooooooo good! Though I don't need them yet, I am looking forward to getting some cute maternity clothes in a month or two!
That's it for now!
