so far pregnancy has been a breeze. today i feel perfectly normal; no morning sickness, no abdominal cramping, no headaches. in fact, i feel so normal that i'm worried i just imagined that i'm pregnant. good job i kept the 3 test sticks, with the positive plus sign on them, to reassure me. i hadn't really put much thought into what it would be like when i actually got pregnant. it's a bit of an anti-climax, to be honest. other than the few people who read this diary no one else knows so we haven't been congratulated yet and I can't even have a big old glass of champagne to celebrate. we are telling our families this weekend though. there are 3 people who i've been really looking forward to telling. one was my mum. i already did that last weekend. my parents called from spain. i had just managed to say "i'm pregnant" when the phone line was filled with high-pitched screeching. this was not in fact my mother's response but a problem with the phone line. she may well have started screeching but i have no idea because after a few minutes of ear splitting noise i put the phone down. this sucked because i know how much my mum would love grandchildren and for so long now she has been resigned to the idea of never having any, and i was really looking forward to telling her. the second person i'm most excited about telling is my sister in law. she will go mental - completely mental. she has 2 kids of her own, she hates the fact that we live so far away and she has been "encouraging" us to have kids for as long as i can remember. we always said we weren't interested. this is going to shock the hell out of her. the final person i really want to tell is a work colleague who has also been demanding that i have a child for a long time now. i once made the mistake of joking that i was pregnant (i was out drinking but not alcohol) and she practically smothered me with excited hugs. i felt really bad telling her i was only joking. anyway, she's going to be very very happy.
so i have lots of things to look forward to and in the meantime i will continue taking the materna tablets, drinking lots of milk and water, eating lots of fruit and veg and holding my breath when someone with a cigarette walks past me!
