Eight weeks pregnant and counting!

Yes, it's true. My hubby and I found out around 2 weeks ago, using a home pregnancy test. We're both so ecstatic, to say the least. So now, I'm trying to learn everything I can to make this a very healthy and happy pregnancy for us. According to fitpregnancy.com, I have 32 Weeks, 2 Days to go! My due date is January 23, 2009. I don't feel all that different, except for the fact that my breasts are swelling up and that I easily get hungry. I threw up the other night, when we ate out in a restaurant, no less. I haven't had any morning sickness before and after that, thank God.

I have quit smoking as soon as we found out I was positively pregnant. I don't crave it even though people around me are smoking. One discomfort I'm dealing with is the phlegm that my body is trying to expel especially in the morning. It think I'm almost done with it though. I hope I don't feel the urge to take up smoking again after I give birth. I've known for a long time that it's a filthy habit.

So, I'm having a baby! I almost can't believe it. It's been a long time coming. I can't imagine how at one time in my life, I said I didn't want to have one, if it only means that he or she will have to endure the pain and suffering on earth. But now, I can't wait to see his/her angelic face. I think having a child of your own is a chance to make a better version of your self, and in turn make the world a better place to live in.
