Eight Weeks

Had my first prenatal visit today. Ironically I got the same nurse who a year ago said I should wait nine months before worrying about infertility. Boy am I glad I didn't listen to her. She was fine and I only see her this once before seeing my midwife. I actually lost three pounds since becoming pregnant. So that's always nice. Otherwise she didn't tell me anything I haven't read or heard about all ready. The schedule of classes was kind of overwhelming. I'm just not ready to think about labor and breastfeeding yet. Can't I just be pregnant?
It is ridiculously hot today. So I planned my afternoon around being in air conditioning. First some leisure time while getting my brakes fixed and then some mall time. I need new bras because that part of my body is definitely getting bigger. Not something I am looking forward to. I also want a new outfit to wear on vacation next week. Can you say "drawstring waist?" They make me very happy.
