Anne B's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
August 30, 2000
Hi everyone. I don't have much to report this week. I went to the state fair on Saturday with my sister who doesn't know that I'm pregnant. I was eating everything in sight. I had two cheese on a stick. Yum. If I stopped eating I got sick. Very hard to explain when you don't want anyone to know that you're pregnant. I was dying to tell her, but I'm only six weeks along and I am still so nervous. I have an ultrasound tomorrow. If all goes well, I might be ready to tell a few family members.
I was at a picnic for work this afternoon and I saw my friend Stacie. She brought her 2-week-old son. He was so cute. I wanted to hold him, but I seem to be coming down with a cold that has plagued the rest of my little family for about a week. I couldn't risk getting that little sweetie sick. If you've read my past diary entries, I mentioned Stacie before. She and I got pregnant pretty close together and then I miscarried. It was hard to see her for a while, but I'm much better. While I looked at her little one today I kept thinking that I'll be holding my own in April. I forgot just how small they are when they're born. I came home to Brendan and he looked like such a big boy!
That's all that's new with me. I seem to be sick all day lately. The thought of most foods makes my stomach turn and I can't get enough water. All I can think of is sleep and not throwing up. But I'm grateful. I know that this morning sickness is a good sign that this pregnancy is on the right track. I'll know more tomorrow.
Anne B.
