Reality Sets In

I continue to feel generally better, which is GRAND. I've still had some rocky days, but the good days have buoyed me. My OB nurse says that at this point if I'm still feeling nauseated, I may be one of those lucky ladies that is sick the whole way through. Could it be true? Could I have drawn the high number? Thank God for Unisom.

Today - just today - I'm realizing that there's a baby coming. Huh. And there's a bunch of stuff I should do! Start learning about childbirth, sign up for a class (do I have to take a class? won't it just happen anyway?), set up some kind of nursery space (will the baby sleep in our room?), get ready for our new family member. I guess I've been taking things minute by minute so far.

It's been fun telling people we're expecting-lots of people react as though you've given them a surprise gift, it's really sweet. It disarms me.
