I could have sworn I felt the baby move but this early it is "just gas"…We are
wondering if my dream of twins is true. They were so beautiful in the dream.
I dreamt it the night we most likely conceived. We will know that soon enough
I suppose.
I am feeling OK. I'm a little nauseous and find if I eat regularly it helps.
I have a nasty cold and that is sending me running for the toilet a bit more
often than I would like. Yes folks, I will admit it- I rarely throw up and
cannot identify with those poor souls that live their first five months of
pregnant bliss in the commode. However, as a favorite author of pregnancy
how-to proclaims-the pregnancy gods are fair to the end. I have stretch marks
from my calves to my arms. I'm not talking about those cute little lines on
your tummy that many an insensitive (and probably now divorced) man have
referred to as " the badge of a real woman." I am talking about one-quarter
of an inch thick marks snaking along my poor body like a Chicago road map and
giving it the ripple effect of a contoured map. My OB once referred to them
as beauty marks. I liked him and we usually got along splendidly so I did not
threaten him with bodily harm.
We told a few more people today. I really didn't want to tell anyone else
until the second trimester. Oh well, if wishes were dollars or something like
that. My husband is starting a new job next week and will be engrossed in
learning new and interesting things. He is so happy to be learning again and
I am happy for him and for me. When he is miserable, the family is miserable.
It is some kind of familial cosmic law. We are going to tell our family in
August. I wonder how they will react.
