Yep, I am 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant today! It's still incredibly surreal, we have been trying for almost 2 years to get here and then it happens and now I'm not sure what to do with myself.
Overall I have been feeling really good, although my body has definitely informed me something new is taking place. I think it's too early in the game to make the bold statement that I am not a victim of morning sickness....but so far so good. I am however the victim of overwhelming fatigue that strikes at 1:30pm on the dot everyday (and I mean some major FA-TIGUE! It's like I have bricks on my eyelids and my body feels 100 lbs heavier)....followed by 4 am insomnia. I have a few other little things that kindly remind me that I am indeed pregnant but I really can't complain too much and I am hoping it stays that way.......I am so so grateful to be pregnant though that I am prepared to embrace every symptom that comes my way! Haha, at least that's what I say now.
Ok now for the sappy stuff..........
My husband, Frankie, has been amazing. I have been a emotional wreak this last week (to put it lightly), I think it's half hormones and half the overwhelming changes to our lives overnight......he has shown me incredible understanding and compassion that I really needed. I have never appreciated him quite as much as I have in the last week and a half. Earlier this week he came home with a sweet card and a pregnancy book. It is really nice to see him get excited about us being pregnant, it makes me so happy and so grateful.
Less than 2 weeks until our first ultrasound!
