New.

{Even the fancy digital test says so.}

This is my personal journal and the handful of readers here know what's up in my life and know we have been trying and trying. So, it wouldn't be right to string you all along for 5 more weeks until the "kosher" time to reveal such news. Plus I am just too darn excited!

I will not be robbed of this excitement by our loss earlier this year. I will not, I will not, I will not. No matter what happens, I am thrilled that we finally conceived and that I am free to happily daydream of our baby in slightly more than hypothetical terms.

I AM PREGNANT!

So, how am I feeling? Now that some of the initial thrill and adrenaline has worn off, I am admittedly tired. And oh so hungry! Other than that my gums are incredibly sore and swollen and I have this taste in my mouth like I'm sucking on a penny (how on Earth do I actually know that is what I'm tasting??) and my boobs are sore and I might cry at the drop of a hat.   Waves of nausea too, but not that bad in that department yet.

Overall just happy and excited. And nervous. Please please please be a healthy perfect Spring baby!
