I may feel nauseous but all I am doing is crapping my brain out. I have morning sickness out my butt. What the heck? Must I do everything differently? I had an expectation that I would be swimming and doing yoga all the time, that long walks of reflection would occupy my days. I have done yoga a few times this week but can’t bring myself to go to a pool or for a walk. I have no energy and the energy I do have is very focused on the sick feelings that rumble in my tummy.

In other news, the doctor’s visit went really well. I really enjoyed meeting her. Very straight down the line yet very compassionate. As D said, she handled my over the top humor and exuberance well.

The bottom line is that I am being treated like a princess and couldn’t be more thankful for it. I miss having any women around me, for it seems the time to have your sisters close. That being said, the love I feel is strong I am being given the space I need to feel sick and do nothing.

It is good being pregnant.

You'll be hearing a lot of this over 2009, what with people's opinions and wives tales and whatnot, but one of the strange things that people say that seems to have a high level of truth is that if you sail through pregnancy, you may have a tough delivery. Likewise, if you have a tough pregnancy, many of those people have an easy delivery.
Might be BS, but I'm seeing all over the place in my circles.
I try my best not to be superstitious, but I'll probably still keep my fingers crossed for you.

I haven't been keeping up-to-date on your blog so I only now just noticed that you are pregnant - congratulations! I wish you all the best and look forward to reading about your journey into motherhood...
