8 Weeks!!!

I made it through my second month. I am up approximately 1 pound, but feel as if I have gained 10, especially after I eat. The bloating doesn't help. The fatigue comes and goes, but I haven't noticed it affecting me during my nightshifts at work too much. I have definitely been enjoying quiet time at home, curled up in my bed with a good book. My diet has yet to change and I haven't experienced any cravings yet. I can smell Everything!! I thought I would miss having happy hours cocktails with the girls, but the fact that alcohol smells so bad to me right now, I am pleasantly surprised that I don't miss it at all.

This week we decided to tell more people about the pregnancy, starting with John's brother Josh and his wife Heidi. They were excited to learn that their two girls were going to finally get a cousin. Then the baby got its first taste of musical theater when we went and saw Les Miserables. Today I had brunch with the girls and told them I was expecting as well:) It was such a relief to let the cat out of the bag. I can't believe I was able to hold out for this long. Baby shower planning immediately started. They also took the liberty of being the first people to rub and talk to my belly. Good times:)
