After having told Mike in the bustling union at FSU we were pregnant (and after the 10 minutes of hyperventilation that comes with knowing you're pregnant), off we went!
At 19 weeks, our pregnancy has been almost perfect! I have not suffered any debilitating symptoms like nausea or water retention, rarely am I fatigued, and the baby's development according to our 18 week ultrasound is perfect. One thing I have had to deal with is wha
t is termed 'gestational rhinitis'-or a permanent stuffy nose during pregnancy. It is caused by the influx of hormones throughout the body leading to inflammation of the sinuses...if, however, this is the only symptom I have with my pregnancy...I will be a happy camper! We were told that my placenta has developed close to the cervix, however, but is often corrected as the pregnancy progresses and the baby grows within the uterus. All that in mind, it seems that we've been truly blessed!Prior to becoming pregnant I weighed a delicious 117 pounds (on a bad day) and shortly arriving at our half way mark, am already up to 130!
Updates will surely follow and as soon as we scan our ultrasound pictures they will be posted, promise!
It's a lot of huggies. Part DEUX madame.
