Baby Update

I went to my first OB appointment today. My due date is July 24, 2009- 3 days before my 8th anniversary! It still doesn't feel like I'm pregnant. I think I'm kind of still in shock mode. I've felt completely great- Not even a hint of morning sickness (knock on wood!) I guess once my belly starts to show I'll start feeling more pregnant. I've decided to change my tune a little bit, too. Since I've found out I'm pregnant I've been a little ungrateful, I think. I've had to tell a few of my friends that can't have babies on their own that I'm pregnant and I'm sure they have wanted to strangle me with my "why me" attitude. I'm very grateful that my body LOVES to be pregnant and I'm grateful that pregnancy is easy for me. Not to mention my 3-4 hour labor where I only have to push 1 time for about 30 seconds- That's awesome! I promise there will be no more "poor me" over the amazing act of having a child. I can't promise there won't be any crying, however. My OB told me today that I needed to be eating 2400 calories a day- that made me cry!! I can't mentally get myself to that point yet, but I'm working on it..........

When a baby comes totally unplanned for its hard to deal with. I'm glad that you are starting to feel better about it. You are handling it well and congrats! I'm glad you're not dealing with any symptoms. :)
