Welcome!

Well, this is easier than I thought! Picked out my font and here I go: unfortunately my favourite fonts are not there, I will try to find a way to import them....if I get around to it!

Unfortunately, I wanted "bethhickey.blogspot.com", but there is another "me" who claimed it a few years ago....she hasn't updated her blog in more than 2 years, and I highly doubt that her life is even as remotely interesting as mine....but I digress. Oh well, at least I got bethhickey@hotmail.com!

So, as some of you know, and many of you will discover when I send you this link, I am now 14 weeks pregnant. So that means my first trimester is over. It's funny, one morning (at 13 weeks, 3 days) the smell of coffee made me sick, and literally the next day it smelled soooooo good!
So I am still taking my anti-nausea pills, I probably would not get sick in the mornings anymore since it usually only lasts the first trimester, but what if I stop taking them and I start to feel like shit again? So I think I will test it out next weekend, not during the week!

It is unfortunate that many people (mostly in the US since Diclectin is not approved there) have to suffer through morning sickiness..and it really is suffering! I didn't know, for about a week, that Diclectin even existed, and it was a rough week. (Thanks to Melissa and Josée for telling me about this wonderdrug!) Subsisted on applesauce, crackers and McNugget Happy Meals for about a week! Since I started taking it, I can eat anything, anytime, anywhere...

Not much of a belly yet, I just look kinda chunky, not really pregnant. Some of my stuff still fits, but less and less, so I ventured down to Thyme maternity the other day.....NOT impressed! Their casual stuff is OK, but I think they forget that pregnant people atually might have to DRESS UP for work....I mean really, there are than 2-3 basic skirts and a few black, brown and grey pants, but there is nothing that is remotely stylish. Nothing that I would consider buying in the "real world", so why would I buy shit like that because I am pregnant?? So anyway, a few people have told me about some other stores, so I think I will check them out. I am trying to hold off on buying this stuff until next month, since the summer stuff will be out by then and I am sure it will be much nicer.

Next post: I'll figure out how our scanner works and scan the ultrasound pictures, and post a picture of me with my fat-lady belly!
