WE DID IT!

My egg and his sperm successfully united!! Hey! It's not as easy as you might think!

How far along? 9 1/2 weeks (hey, isn't that a movie?)

Okay, so I'm a procrastinator. I've been thinking about meaning to write a blog about what I'm going through during pregnancy and just didn't get to it until now. I feel like I should be starting at the beginning but I think I will save that 'til a bit later. Right now I am going to share an email response I just sent to my friend Susan (one of the very few people who know I am pregnant) when she asked me how my blueberry is. Took me a while to figure out she meant baby. Anyway, here it is...probably most effective if read at a quick pace.

Just got home from a movie.
Just fed my blueberry some peaches. I had a little bit of a freak out moment last night. I was trying to sleep and I was fantasizing about my having my first ultrasound and then the fantasy turned into something else, that I won't say, when I imagined the technician showing me 2 little blips on the screen. Yipes. That freaked me out. Couldn't sleep for a bit after that.
Then Simon and I both woke up to this flash in the sky that had an accompanying sound of a light bulb bursting (no source to be found) and I then got freaked out that the apocalypse was coming and I didn't put aside my emergency canned goods!!! Flash backs of "The Road" came to me and I felt myself at a realization that we really don't have an apocalypse plan. If that would have been some sort of nuclear fall out situation last night we would have been in trouble. And how am I to grow a baby properly under those circumstances???? hmmmm??? I ask you that.
Anyway, yesterday I was feeling great! I had so much more energy than I had for a long time...today, not as much but much better than before and then I started worrying if something was wrong because I was feeling good. oh dear. What a dramatic day it was yesterday.
