And very exciting news, although I understand your caution.

Scary, but so magical, too. <br />Aside from exhaustion and my huge full boobs (that did not hurt) I did not really have any symptoms, so you can imagine that had me freaking out during those first 3 months. At least until I talked to enough doctors / and my mom who told me that that could also be normal and that it was not some kind of bad omen.<br />Before any ultrasound or midwife appointments we are always nervous... I think it is pretty normal. <br />I will be thinking of you, rejoice in this beautiful moment that is here no matter what. <br />That is a beautiful picture / scenery. I love feeding ducks and water streams tend to give me peace.

Of course, he meant it sweetly but it always kind of weirded me out.<br /><br />Also, holy crap - you're pregnant :)<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685641936657833904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181203705533916900.post-10608424527666789302013-10-03T21:45:45.550-07:002013-10-03T21:45:45.550-07:00Wow, that's a beautiful photo and a beautiful...Wow, that's a beautiful photo and a beautiful entry.

However, I did avoid the apps and I loathe the terms preggo and preggers. I have a hard time with the naivety some people get, and their assumption that it's a natural process and nothing bad could happen to *them* For me a lot of that stemmed from my "this is a medical condition, not a magical joyride" attitude though ;) I'm all for enjoying it, and making the best, it just gets hard for me sometimes when people go overboard or get overzealous, because of my own history.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181203705533916900.post-72524752185139588602013-10-03T14:47:11.194-07:002013-10-03T14:47:11.194-07:00Ha...no I didn't mean your history would make ...Ha...no I didn't mean your history would make you dislike cheesy baby apps.

You seemed to find some real peace this summer. What an amazing story--before IVF! You made my day! Enjoy this and trust your gut. Reading between the words, I sense you know it's for real deep down inside, despite your understandable fears. I knew it was going to happen! And then, I read you survived cancer. I am in awe of your grace. Well done, my friend.

Second...First of all, what a beautiful photograph.<br /><br />Secondly...hahahah - "Wow, you're SUPER pregnant." Love it.<br /><br />Third, what you're feeling is "super normal." Especially how you got to where you are. But that doesn't mean you should deny yourself the cheesy pregnancy-fruit comparisons. I have about 3 apps on my phone (none of which I like) that pop up and tell me what delicious fruit my baby is (currently a "large cantaloupe" - I guess the "large" is important?). My favorite though, is the Fertility Friend updates, because they are more scientific and use less cheesy little sayings. JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02493032821722724778noreply@blogger.com
