May 8, 2000

Well, I am at 4 + weeks. I think I'm really closer to 5, but since my cycles are short, I'm told I'm at 4 weeks. According to them, I was able to tell I was PG just after three weeks after AF started. 4 weeks sounds so weak. Like, "Come on Anne, you're barely PG!!" But, it has been three weeks since the supposed "O" date. Does that make sense?

As far as symptoms go, the last four days I get tired and if I can get a catnap in, then I'm good for a second wind. But, today was tough being at work. It was nice over the weekend, to just go lay down. I had my first morning sickness this morning. Or at least a small taste of it. Although, because I still feel like this isn't real then I wonder if I'm making all these symptoms up. My breasts are still sore and I haven't gotten my AF yet, I have to keep telling myself that.

Naturally, the news spread throughout the family like wildfire. I didn't even get to tell too many people on my own. But, that's OK. My mom wanted me to wait before I told anyone, but I couldn't help it. And that's was all they wrote...

I have such a bad case of poison ivy. People at work keep telling me to get some antibiotics, but I can't because I'm PG. I'm trying all sorts of stuff to get it to dry up. It's pretty gross. And I got a spider bite too, as far as I know it's not poisonous but is about the size of a quarter and weeping. It looks just like the poison ivy next to it, but it doesn't itch. If anyone has any GOOD home remedies, I'm up for that. DH attempted to put Clorox on my arm and I kept telling him that the smell can't be good for me. That's what he does when he gets it. CRAZY MAN!!! I think I've gone through a box or two of bandages. Ugh!!!

I just can't believe this is happening to me. I feel so fortunate. There are a lot of women on this board that I hope to follow me when I go to the Pregnancy Today boards. As soon as I get a good digital picture of me and DH (current one anyway), I'll switch over to the PG boards. It's just that I don't feel like I belong there yet. Good luck to a lot of my new friends and congrats to Kate!

My pics of the week: Aimee, Stef and Jen C.... I'll be waiting for you! Oh, and Katie too. Everyone seemed to be Oing at the same time, I'm sure I've forgotten someone. Let's close this board down and take over the PG boards!!!!

Thanks to everyone who wishes me well. I do feel that all the dust and prayers helped.

Anne

p.s. My estimated due date is January 12.
