beeplet's Journal: OMGWTFPREGGERS!!11

Yay! I am pregnant! I couldn't be happier, except maybe if morning sickness would actually end at noon instead of making me feel wretched all day... but it's always morning somewhere, I guess.

I'm so excited, I just want to spend all day in the store looking at baby stuff. Only 8 months of incubation left to go!

Congratulations!

At least the morning sickness tends to taper off in the second trimester!

Thanks! I certainly hope the morning sickness eases up sooner rather than later... it is hard to think of spending another 2 months like this. My mother told me she was sick a full 9 months with me, so I can only hope that isn't hereditary!

They're both boys too so you'd think the pregnancies would be alike but nope!

It helps a lot to eat small meals fairly often and

Congrats!
