    Hi! Nice to e-meet you! So glad you checked out my blog and enjoyed it. Do I feel nervous? The first trimester I did worry A LOT. I think going to the doctor every week to be monitored made me hypersensitive and nervous but definitely but not anymore. How far along are you? I just 21 weeks.
    feel free to keep reading and sharing your journey with me too!
    I wish you an easy pregnancy and a most importantly healthy baby! Congrats on your journey and little miracle.

    Thanks, you too. I am only 4 weeks pregnant but It
    just feels so BIG.. so major. I don't think I have yet to register how life changing this will be. I am not going to the doctor until Dec 23rd. When did you have your first ultrasound? I won't have mine until early January which will put me at 8 weeks. Seems like it takes forever and I am a little impatient. I worry a lot but I know that wont change anything. I will keep checking up on your blog. It inspires me to keep track of things too.

    Yes life changing but something I am ready for! I cant wait to hold him.
    Have you had to change any clothing yet? For me the under wire in my bra's were killing me so that was the first thing I changed.
    Also, I did IVF so I was monitored every week with ultrasounds for the first 12 weeks. I have to say that made it go slower for me. I know that sounds weird but it made me obsess about everything.
    Now I don't have ultra sounds often at all ie: the next time I see him it will be 11 weeks from now.
    Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing!
    you can email from my blog anytime with questions.

    Oh sorry didnt see your reply. how are you feeling? yes, Know what you mean about the bras. same here. boobs still so sore. I have had 2 ultrasounds already and its been just shy of 6 weeks. my hcg was through the roof. 16,000 at week 3 which is so high. I have fibroids so they are keeping an eye on things. how soon did you find out the gender? I hope things are going well. looking forward to hearing more in the the near future.

    I found out gender at 12 weeks. They do a blood test called maternit21 after 10 weeks (it takes 2 weeks to get back) that test for Down Syndrome and other abnormailites. From that test they can tell the sex of the baby. It's amazing!
    I am 23 weeks now and I can feel him kicking which is so crazy!
    Make sure you join my blog! I have forums there too and love to hear from you.
    Feel good!
