In case you missed the *facebook* announcement, Rob and I are indeed expecting our first baby, later this year. The doctor tells me August 13. While we weren't planning on announcing to our friends via social media, my beloved brother (who did not get the memo it was still kind of a secret) decided to share it with the facebook community, and so Rob and I backed it up.
Anyway.
Now you know!
I really haven't felt too terrible. Up until week 9 I felt hideously nauseous all day long, making work the ultra suckfest. Morning sickness has been limited. And mostly limited to night? The worst I feel during the day is driving home from work. Apparently pregnancy makes me car sick and even turning my car makes me feel like I might throw up all over myself these days. But based on what I've read about morning sickness, I'm getting off pretty easy.
I've just entered my 13th week and therefore the very start of my 4th month/2nd trimester. Apparently you are supposed to feel better now but I'm still waiting for it. I guess I've been on the steady rise since week 10 but I still am tired as crap and never feel like going out or doing anything.
Also, I heard the baby's heartbeat on February 1. It was super relieving because I am terrified of having a miscarriage. The doctor said everything sounded great and I almost cried. (hormones).
Anyway, I've also given my boss notice that I will be quitting in April. She is having her baby then and her mom is coming down from Boston to help out for a month or so, and I feel that would just be really awkward for me. Plus I am planning on staying home with my kid so I would have to quit eventually anyway. There will obviously be an awkward 3 month-ish gap where I will be unemployed but I am going to try and use that time to develop something I can do from home to generate a little income. Not exactly sure what that will be yet.
We'll see!
