I think its about time . .
I came out of the closet!
Due to my clotting disorder I've been very nervous and stressed and haven't told many people outside our family at all. But with today being the start of 12 weeks I'm feeling like I've hit a point where I can be more comfortable about sharing the news. 
Everything has gone well so far. I started anti-coagulating shots (blood thinners for my disorder) at 6 weeks and aside from a few bad bruises in the beginning its going really well giving myself the shots. Our last U/S was on my birthday and all looked well. I don't go back til April 3rd and it seriously could not come soon enough to ease my always present worrying and concerns.
I also told my boss this week and she was very excited and supportive which was a big relief bc I wasn't quite sure how well it would be recieved.
I can't believe I'm 12 weeks today. It still hasn't sunk in for me yet at all.
Re: I think its about time . .
Thanks girls!!! I never knew I had such restraint either!
I had some mild m/s from about week 6 through week 10. After week 10 it was more a sick I-want-to-throw-up feeling whenever I was hungry instead of a constant I need to shove crackers into my mouth feeling. This week I've discovered milk doesn't agree with me.
Throughout the pregnancy so far I've been obsessed with anything peanut butter - my fav is peanut butter cup blizzards with a shot of peanut butter sauce. So terrible but so good!
The past few days I haven't felt very pregnant and of course that adds to my constant worry. Honestly I never in my life imagined pregnancy would be this stressful for me.
Funny you mention peanut butter because I am eating PB crackers right now. PB cup blizzards at DQ are my FAVORITE! That is the only thing I get there. DH and I go there like 2-3 times a week during the summer. I'm going to try and not to that this year but I can't resist it most of the time.
The m/s and tiredness went away at 10 weeks for me as well and for the most part I have not felt pregnant since. I understand your worry though...I have it too.
Congratulations again!!!
This post just made my WEEK! I am so glad you're out of the closet and can share your excitement with everyone now! And YAY for telling work & it going well. What awesome news! I couldn't be happier for you & DH. BIG, BIG ((HUGS))!
TTC since Jan 07. Dx with PCOS Jan 08
That is great news, Jen! I am so happy for you and wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy!
