2 pink lines

I haven't been in the mood lately to blog, but I thought I'd post some entries I wrote a while ago and was saving...

It's been 2 weeks and a day since I first saw those 2 pink lines. I had my own suspicions when I was on my trip to NY, but I wanted to wait till I got back home so I could take the test when Casey was home. We're not too sure of our due date, but I'm thinking around the 3rd week of March.

So far the morning sickness hasn't been too bad, but I'm sure that will change soon. On a scale of 1-10, where 1 is perfectly fine and 10 is on my knees bowing to the porcelin goddess, I've been about a 2 for most of the time. With my other pregnancies, I usually maintained a 5 or 6 pretty much all day long for the first trimester, so I'm expecting my queasiness to get worse.

The main symptom I'm experiencing is extreme fatigue. If I could just lay in bed all day long... but I have 2 little imps to kick my butt in gear first thing every morning, so that's just a pipe dream. Every morning I try to rest on the couch, but it's hard to do with elbows and feet and knees jamming into me. Apparently a body on the couch makes an irresistable climbing and jumping spot. I usually try to take a break in the afternoon too, somedays with more success than others. Helping out at VBS last week didn't help me conserve any energy either, but I made it through the week.

We've told our parents, but not the boys yet. I'm looking forward to telling all our friends, but I want to get through my first round of OB appointments before we share the news.
