I'm about 12 weeks pregnant. It's great news. We are so happy and excited. I still feel really nervous and even cringe a little about typing it out for the world to see.
But it's also been hard. I've been sick. I'm a lucky one that doesn't vomit (most of the time), but that doesn't equal feeling good. I feel nauseous all day long. I feel like I want to be sick. I feel yucky. I feel emotionally unstable. I almost feel depressed between the emotions and the physical effects. I know it sounds really woe is me and all, but it's the truth of how I've been feeling.
I was really looking forward to pregnancy again. Since this is possibly our last pregnancy I promised myself that I would be so grateful and try to enjoy every moment and milestone of the pregnancy. While I am so very grateful for this pregnancy, I have come to realize I am not a woman that enjoys pregnancy. I'm not trying to convince anyone to feel bad for me. I am lucky and I know that, but it's been a bit hard the past few months so that is why I haven't been around much.
As I said I'm still really nervous. We've heard the heartbeat, and I saw the baby yesterday. Maybe I'll post that story later.

Congratulations! Do not feel bad about being so sick and not blogging. I was so sick with my pregnancy and unable to function as a normal person. That is part of the reason why we're hesitant to try for #2. It can be so frustrating to be so sick during which should be such an exciting time. Congratulations again!
Congratulations and I completely agree! I'm now almost 35 weeks and after trying so hard and long to get pregnant I have decided we are done. This pregnancy has been a nightmare and so hard on me mentally and physically. I am very grateful but at the same time, pregnancy isn't all rainbows and sunshines. We get it so don't beat yourself up for what you are feeling!!
Congratulations! I never enjoyed pregnancy either. The third was the hardest for me. Maybe because I knew it was the last time I had to go through it. I hope you can enjoy the next few months.
Congratulations!!!
I knew it!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! We are all so happy for you, and I hope you start to feel better soon! YAY!
Oh, congratulations Shelly! I had a feeling this announcement coming when you mentioned a month or so ago that you had a lot on your heart and mind. This is happy news! I look forward to reading all your posts about it in the months to come.
Congratulations! I'm very happy for you!
Congratulations Shelly! that is a great blessing. Gods gift.
I am the same way,I do not like to have a big belly.
Congratulations!! Hope you start feeling better and not so sick
Congratulations Shelly! That is great news, but I totally understand where you are! I've never been one who enjoys pregnancy either! And I usually accuse women who say things like "Oh I've never felt better!!!" when they are pregnant as being liars! lol- I hope things start to get better for you as you enter into your 2nd trimester.
Congrats Shelly! I totally understand...that's why I haven't been blogging very much as well:)
Congratulations!! I'm sorry that you are not feeling well. :( It's so hard to not feel good when you want to enjoy it so much. I hope that you feel better soon!
