Introduction

Well, I'd like to thank all the kind women who have written messages to me. It's time for me to move on to the Pregnancy Today diaries. A part of me couldn't believe that I was PG at first. It is slowly becoming reality. I had a little sickness on Tuesday but have felt great otherwise. I do have some sore breasts and still have that churning tummy. I definitely feel like something is going on down there.

Now and then I get a little scared feeling. I always think of the movie "Alien" with Sigourney Weaver (did I spell that right) and how she grew an alien. I know I don't have an alien baby but, I feel like an alien is taking over my body. Everything I do is based on what is good or not for the baby. This baby is controlling me!!! See, like an alien!

The other fear is, "What am I getting myself into?" I keep reminding myself that women go through this all the time. I can carry a baby, I can give birth. I hope it doesn't hurt. Will I ever lose the weight? Am I already eating too much too early? I'm just constantly asking myself stupid or fear-filled questions.

DH did say the other night that he's looking forward to this whole thing. It's another chance to be a dad -- the way he wants to be now, not the way he was. He just was never around with his other kids. Or so he says. He's closer to them now that they are getting older.

Well, good luck to everyone else and see you over there!
