7-8 weeks.

Since I'm really new to this pregnancy thing, I'm not sure what to expect out of my body over the next seven months or so. Of course I've Googled the shit out of some symptoms, but in the end, everybody is a bit unique in their experience. Here are some of the good things I've noticed with being pregnant, along with some not so good.

Good stuff:
- Knowing there will be a baby at the end of it all
- My boobs are freakin' huge
- I get to eat 300 extra calories a day and not feel bad about it
- I'm off litter box duty!
- Making other people lift heavy things for me like a princess
- No monthly cycle bullshit
- Less headaches (let's hope this one continues)


Not so good stuff:
- Constantly worrying if everything's going okay in there
- Although the boobs are huge, they hurt like a mofo
- Queasy 80% of the day
- Aversion to sweets (!!)
- Daily food journaling to avoid any potential vegan backlash at the Dr.
- Random cramping
- general weird feeling

My next appointment is in seven days, so maybe I'll worry less after I hear that things are going well. Hopefully.
