where I'm at

So the picture below is clearly me, perhaps more 'normal' than I'll ever again be: not yet 'showing' but feeling quite bloated (or is that the Wisconsin-then-Boston gluttony?). We have told my immediate family (and Joe's) and everyone was quite surprised. So yesterday on a hike in New Hampshire, I told Tia and Eduardo who of course are the impetus behind this little string-of-nonsense/waste-of-time: my participation in the technology age.

So here's the update: I knew I was 'expecting' about 10 days before that silly pink line finally showed up on my third pregnancy test. For the first few weeks, I felt really different - not bad, just not myself at all. Every minute of every day, I was aware of the changes taking place. Now, seven weeks in, other than feeling bloated and like I have to pee all the time (damn hormones!), it's sometimes hard to remember that soon our little family will be a little bigger.

So if I am organized enough, I can use these postings to track everything that's happening to me physically (and both of us emotionally) and you can keep up with my impending parenthood. In the meantime, at the least, it might help me remember that I'm not just me anymore!
