Weeks 1-12

Well, as you can probably guess by this blog, I am pregnant again!

Weeks 1-12 have passed, thankfully!
Nausea is not my friend, but has been my constant companion for the past seven weeks. All day. All night. FUN!

Every smell has been overwhelming to me, most of them have been sickening. We moved when I was five weeks into a townhouse, but we soon discovered that I was having an allergic reaction to mold in the walls or air ducts. That did not help my nausea at all. I couldn't breath at night and I only felt a little better when I went out of the place.

So, we moved again. This time I was ten weeks along. I don't want to ever move again! Or at least not for a few years, I'm exhausted of it.

At nine weeks I had my first appointment with my midwife, Christina Holmes. She is great. She spent two hours with us answering our questions and discussing the differences between home births, birthing centers, and hospitals. I am really excited about the level of care I will receive at this place. I was happy to find that Christina is not 'preachy' or judgmental. My next appointment is November 8.
