I never knew that the fetus is actually two weeks younger than the pregnancy date. In other words, you are pregnant for two weeks before you even conceive. So I'm beginning my 7th week, but the fetus is beginning its 5th week.
Since I found out that I'm pregnant I've bought so many books. I like to have as much information as possible. I bought the typically What to Expect When You Are Expecting and I also bought a week by week guide that tells me the fetus development, a book for my husband for expecting daddies, and a guide to living with children in Manhattan. A book that I got that I find useless is the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy. I wish I could return it.
My first appointment is next Tuesday. I'm making a list of questions to ask the doctor and so is my husband. He is so cute wanting to be so involved. I feel very close to him right now. Also, we just got back from vacation. I went to bed every night before 11 and I couldn't drink anything (obviously). Tropical vacations are a little different when you are pregnant. I even had to leave the casino because so many people were smoking. I've turned into
one of those people who are so worried about everything.
While I've told a lot of people already (its so hard to hold it in) my husband wants to hold off a little to tell his family and friends. I think we are going to tell him family at a wedding in a few weeks. Everyone is going to be so excited!!!
That's enough random thoughts for the day = )
