Oh the joy of being pregnant ...

First off I have to say that I do feel truly blessed with this gift from God that is growing inside of me. I thank God every day for this gift that he's given to Scotty and me.
....I also ask Him to be with me every day, to take away my nausea, to make the gas pains go away ... I could go on and on. I always thought and still think that pregnant women are absolutely beautiful. I just never knew how hard it is to be a pregnant woman.
The last couple of weeks I've been trying to figure out exactly what my body is doing and what it is telling me. I tend to not eat a whole lot generally. So, it's been tough to realize that I need to eat so much in order to satisfy myself and this little one. I guess the good thing is that I usually know when I'm hungry. The thing that I thought was nausea, I think now is indigestion. Yes, really fun stuff here. Don't get me wrong, the nausea is still there, just not as often as the indigestion. Yuck! And the gas pains ... oh goodness - it hurts.
This week my allergies have been bothering me. I've tried to tough it out without taking anything, but finally broke down and called the nurse to see if I can in fact take Zyrtec D. Yippy! I can! So, after a really tough morning of morning sickness, allergies and half a work day. I bought some Zyrtec D and plan to take it tomorrow morning. That's probably the best news all week. The other good news is that I've read that all of these crazy feelings and symptoms should go away after the first trimester. Lord, please bless me with this!!
Through all of this I think it's brought Scotty and I even closer. He has really been sweet and caring through all of this. He's amazing and I'm so blessed to have him as a husband and to go though this with him.
It is really becoming tough to not tell anyone. It's really killing me that my mom doesn't know. I want to ask her a lot of things and share so much with her. Two more weeks until the dr. visit and then we will tell everyone! :) I can't wait!
