Cannoli

So, we're expecting. Or, should it be more like WE'RE EXPECTING!!!!!? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel and I suppose I don't care. I'm excited, but scared. Thinking of all the things that are going to change in the next few months. Being on the lookout (or... feelout?) for dreaded morning sickness symptoms. Reminding myself not to buy any new pants right now because I soon won't be able to fit into them. I'm sure this is normal, and I'm doing all the things I'm supposed to do now that I know there's a Cannoli in the oven.

No one knows but N and me, it's still early. According to the interweb, I'm just finishing up my 4th week. When we found out I read aloud to N all the things that are going on inside of me; I substituted the word "baby" for "cannoli" because it's funnier that way.

I took the test on Monday, and scheduled my first prenatal visit for January 14th. I need to go in to see my OB once before this visit to confirm the pregnancy. N keeps asking if he should come to this confirmatory visit, but I'm pretty sure I just need to pee in a cup and have them say "yep, you're pregnant." I'm lucky to have a husband who wants to come to these things; I tell him to start thinking about things he'll want to ask at this first prenatal visit.

On Friday I made it through my first social event without drinking. A surprise 30th birthday for a friend, complete with bottles of champagne and 9:30pm dinner reservations. I sipped on some ginger ale in a stemless wine glass until I couldn't stand the taste of ginger ale anymore. I told someone I had an ear infection and was on anti-biotics. I asked for separate checks at dinner because I couldn't stand the thought of paying for everyone's booze. New Year's Eve should be interesting.

I haven't slept well all week, until last night. I slept til 10:30 this morning, woke up on and off throughout the morning feeling hungover. N brought me water and Saltines. 

My go-to when hungover is burgers and fries, so, we got a burger and fries for lunch. If pregnancy is like one giant hangover, I might have a problem.
