First journal entry since finding out that I'm pregnant.

I told S on the plane ride home that while I didn't want to make too big of a deal about it, my period was late. I wanted him to know, but to also know that it could a whole slew of things - stress, travel, etc. I told him I would take a pregnancy test towards the end of the week if I still hadn't gotten it.

I couldn't wait. The evening we got home, I went to the drug store, bought a test, and took it. And it was positive! It was a very exciting moment. S was happy and wonderful about it. I assumed that it would be best to have my Nurse Practitioner confirm it, and I was able to get in right away on Thursday morning. Meanwhile, my cold was getting worse and worse and I ended up staying home from work on Friday, and spent the weekend trying to recuperate. I still can't quite tell what is left-over cold, and what is pregnancy.

Mom and Dad were thrilled, and it was such fun to be able to tell them. I am nearly as excited for them as I am for S and I.

Thoughts are whirling, of course - where will we put the baby? How will we rearrange things? How will my life change? Will I ever want to make love again? Will S's realty work be in full swing in time for my reduced work? Will I be able to work less? How should I break to work?

Mostly, right now, I'm just tired. I could sleep and sleep and sleep.

Work seems to have calmed down, which I'm very thankful for. I was pretty discouraged for a bit there.

I'm at 129 right now - I am going into maintenance again. I upped my cals to 1600. I can't seem to make myself work out right now which is very unlike me. All in good time.
