I could not believe it when the doctor did the ultrasound and I saw the baby's heart beating. How crazy is that?! My body built a human heart, albeit a simple one, in less than 7 weeks. It's absolutely miraculous. It also explains why I've been so tired. During the week, I will go to bed at 8:30 and still wake up tired! Today I took a three hour nap. Being pregnant is serious work!
Along with being tired, there is very little that sounds appetizing to me the past few days. Today I've eaten oatmeal with raisins, milk and a little brown sugar, toast with butter and Nutella, crackers and cheese and cornichons, dried mangoes, and pretzel sticks. A dramatic departure from my normally balanced diet. All of the books say that bland is the way to go and to eat what sounds good. Ok.
Being pregnant is so unbelievably exciting. Yippee!
