Symptoms...

Many people have been asking me if I've had any pregnancy symptoms, cravings, etc.  Unfortunately, I have to admit that I've been a pretty boring pregnant lady *knock on wood*.

Symptoms:
- almost instant aversion to raw meat (1st trimester only, but still scared to test myself)
- little to no morning sickness
- fatigue like no other (1st trimester only)
- constipation & gas (TMI!)

Cravings:
- 1st trimester: orange juice, pb&j sandwiches, scrambled egg sandwiches, bagels & cream cheese
- 2nd trimester: apple juice, rainier cherries (by the box load! Thank goodness the husband has connections with a cherry vendor!), scrambled egg sandwiches, butter croissants

I'm hoping this enjoyable pregnancy I'm having will last through the 3rd trimester.  People have told me that sometimes if I don't feel the negative symptoms in the beginning, they might creep up towards the end.  Let's hope not.

1st Contact...

Last night, at 18w4d, the husband got his first feel at the LiL One's movements.  I'm not sure if it was a kick, punch, or just plain moving around but it sure felt strange yet exciting.  To me, the feeling was a strong bubble pop which I can associate with the sound of popping bubble wrap.  To the husband, the feeling was more of a vibration/pop that he distinctly felt. 

New Beginnings...

Let's see where this goes!
