Hi everyone!

Today makes just over 7 weeks along for me, which is just about half of the first trimester. I've been feeling better this past week which is nice, I'm getting more sleep and am feeling less exhausted. The first couple weeks were fine, just a little tired, but then I got really drained and my emotions were all over the place. I never noticed before how many sad commercials are out there... and I made the mistake of watching When a Man Loves a Woman on t.v. the other day, I just went through a box of tissues for that :0).

But when I'm able to get some extra sleep I feel pretty good. There's always a sense of being tired, its just constant, but I'm getting used to it. Its as though I ran for miles (yeah right) and am sore, its just tempting to always want to lay down. I hear the fatigue really lightens up once you hit the end of the first trimester, and although I don't want this pregnancy to rush by or anything, I am quite looking forward to my the 13 week mark, if I will in fact feel a bit more like my old self.

Next week I have my first appointment with the nurse, and the week after with my ob/gyn. I've never met either, so I hope I like them. I plan on delivering at Women & Infants, because that's a good place to be if there are any complications.

Will write more soon.
