Kumquat

I am really enjoying the baby websites where they compare the baby's size to a fruit. I liked raspberry week (because raspberries are delicious), then we had green olive, and now I'm at kumquat. I have never actually seen a kumquat in person to my knowledge, but I'm assuming that it's a little larger than a green olive.

I am forgetting to update this, since no one is reading it yet. The news that I'm "in a family way" is slowly spreading, but I'm waiting until the second trimester starts to officially announce it at work and, you know, on Facebook. Here are the things I want to remember about this pregnancy thus far:

1. Much like my friend Christina posted on her site, I feel hungover all the time. I wake up each morning with dry mouth, and it takes FOREVER to get motivated. I'm always slightly sleepy, a little off my game. A few bouts of nausea, and three actual products of said nausea, but overall I'm not too bad.

2. I hate the fact that my clothes don't really fit, so am kind of looking forward to maternity wear. Not that I need to spend more money on clothes.

3. I love the fact that Shaun is so excited. He wished my stomach a Happy New Year and that made me just about melt. When his friend Joe asked what was new over the phone, Shaun replied "Oh, not much, just creating life!" It's really adorable.

4. I love the fact that I cannot shovel snow for medical reasons. Hee hee hee.

I am not thinking about the fact that I need a new car, would like us to have a better place to live, and I can't imagine my life with an extra person in it.... but I'm a little less scared than I was a few weeks ago, and just a litte more excited.
