10 week updates

Yes, it's been a while. I'm just not sure what to do with the blog these days. I didn't really intend to write another pregnant person blog--but I'm pregnant--and I have a blog. What to do....for now, I'll roll with the pregnancy thing.

"You look so...healthy." I'm still not exactly sure what this means, but I've been hearing it a lot lately. Is it my face, the extra pounds maybe? I'm only 10 weeks, and I haven't actually gained that much weight, but my body is definitely changing. It's strange and great all at once.

As for the birth center vs. hospital, for now I'm moving forward with the home/hospital scenario. The birth center is still my first choice, but logistically it's a little harder to work out. I still have time to change my mind though.

After my 8 week ultrasound checked out OK my RE said my miscarriage risk went down to less than 2%, so I've stopped worrying so much started freely sharing the good news. The various reactions have been great. Most people knew (or at least suspected) that we'd been trying for a while, so they've all been super-excited. One of my favorite comments was from a medical assistant at work in her 50's who I love and respect. She's a mom of 3 and a grandma. When I told her, she said, "I'd like to be your kid." One of the sweetest compliments ever.

So that's the update. If you are still reading and have any input about the status of the blog feel free to send a comment my way.

I'm still reading and enjoying the pregnancy update. I need to do one myself on my blog but I am lazy. I'm so glad you are feeling well. Keep the updates coming.

I'd love to read whatever you want to write about the baby and your pregnancy :) I am so excited and happy for you and you are a great mom :)
However I also have been wondering what to write on my blog (I haven't had time to be online so that's helped me procrastinate). Though I didn't have a blog during my grieving and ttc time I still feel like I don't want to just write all about the pg/my child so not to hurt others or what else. But I am just over worrying about it since I used to be sensitive to the subject! Most people, even those with IF or TTC can't help being happy!
