Zen and the art of being Mama

A whole lotta mama searching for a little zen

7 Weeks today! October 19, 2005

Filed under: Uncategorized — mamazen @ 10:06 pm

I meant to post last week and updated you all on the Ultrasound.. but time got away with me. :)

One perfect little heartbeat! :D One little embryo measuring exactly on schedule. :) Overall I’m feeling pretty good. Not super tired, a little unmotivated, but not dead tired like everyone says. Mild occasional nausea, and occasional gagging…. and some specific food aversions, but nothing severe. I feel pretty lucky… but then again I’m only 7 weeks today, anything can happen, I could start barfing tomorrow. ;)

I finished a baby blanket for a friend but it hasn’t’ been blocked.. so it won’t be pictured today.. maybe tomorrow.

I also started a sweater for Ryan.. I’ll post a pix of that tomorrow too.. maybe.

 

Blogaversary! :D October 8, 2005

Somehow.. I missed my one year knitting blog anniversary! Last October3rd, I decided to join the ranks of the knitting bloggers. I’ve learned a lot, and made many new friends. I’d post something interesting and profound, but the nausea, dizziness and exhaustion will keep me from it today. Thanks for letting me be a part of this cool community!

So, instead, i’ll leave you with a photo from last nights Hindu wedding. :) (well the photo is in my hallway, cause we forgot to actually use the camera at the wedding.) My good friend, coworker and Naturopath, Mona got married in a traditional Hindu wedding. It was beautiful! the clothes, the traditions, the food (which I couldn’t stomach) and the dancing (which I pooped out after 30 mins). Again, i’d tell you all about it, but I’m just too tired. (which is a good sign :) )

 

well, you wanna know what happened??? October 3, 2005

Well, folks, it turns out, IVF works. Last wednesday we found out that we were sucessfully pregnant, and friday we learned that not only were we sucessfully pregnant, but things were going swimmingly. :) Now… we wait for a couple of weeks to find out how many are in there!

So far, I’m feeling pretty good… a little nauseated if I’m hungry, and very nauseated in the morning… so typical, eh? Other than that… not a thing… but I’m sure that will change with time. :)

so to recap… pregnant, happy. :D
