Life as a Wife

My body is changing and growing, and it’s time to buy new shirts!  Yes, already.  Good thing I have all that birthday money to blow.  The morning sickness finally seems to be easing up on me, but the bone weary exhaustion is still clinging.  I haven’t hit the second trimester yet so that’s to be expected, but it can still be frustrating.  Last night, I came home from work, took a walk with Christopher, helped him with the dishes, cooked and ate dinner and fell asleep on the couch between 7 and 7:30.  Got up at 9:30 and went straight to bed.  I didn’t get up (except for a bathroom break, of course) until nearly 7 this morning, and I still felt like I could sleep another hour or two.  I guess this is how I’m going to feel for the next several years, so I’d best get used to it. 

I am five weeks and three days pregnant today.  According to babycenter.com, the baby’s brain is developing this week.  How amazing is that?

I am still in complete shock that I’m pregnant that sometimes I am convinced that it just isn’t true.  Today was one of those days, so I actually took another pregnancy test.  Yep, it’s still positive!  I don’t think it will really sink in until I go to the doctor and see the little one on the screen.  I can’t wait.
