Yup, good old Margie went and got herself knocked up and on purpose too! Today marks the 14th week and, so far, so good. Both the BNC and I are very happy and scared and excited and just happy. It was a very planned pregnancy and surprisingly, we conceived a few months after officially trying.
It hasn't been without its worries. I'm 35 years old and diabetic so I'm a high risk pregnancy already. But, my A1c is sitting beautifully at 5.9 which, according to my endo, means that I may not have to take insulin at any point during the pregnancy. It's quite the surprise since pregnant diabetics most likely will have to at one point. My diet is even more strict though. No aspartame, no diet drinks or foods, no caffeine, no yummy bologna or hot dogs or soft cheeses. Ouch. But, it's for the greater good. I've been a walking fool as well. With all these restrictions though, I've managed to lose 11 pounds and yet The Astronaut, as we've dubbed him/her, is growing and looking good.
Given all this, I've never felt dumber in my entire life than I do right now mostly because I haven't really experienced any pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness. It gets me worried that I haven't but, my doctor says it's ok. Everything going on with me is normal, and that eases my worries. Thank goodness for books and understanding doctors.
So, here I am. All knocked up and scared to death. It's going to be a good trip.
