Anna and Troy’s Weblog

As it turns out, it appears that I am a fair-weather-blogger….. I suppose that extended absences in blogging are not a great idea if you want to maintain regular communication with your blogging friends. I would predict that extended periods of silence would cause the interest of your readers to wane….until no one even checks anymore to see if you have written anything new….. So perhaps I am now blogging to myself, which is probably still a therapeutic experience.

For those of you who may not have known, my extended blogging absence was due to the rather trying first trimester of our first pregnancy! Very very exciting (the pregnancy, not the 24/7 sickness that the pregnancy has produced). We have almost hit the magical 12 week mark (I believe that we are 11 weeks and 4 or 5 days). I am still waiting for the mythical morning of NO MORNING SICKNESS! It has not yet dawned, but I feel hopeful that it is near. It is written in the magical pregnancy texts that with the end of the first trimester comes relief from many first trimester pregnancy symptoms (nausea, extreme tiredness, headaches, etc.). I am hopeful that this is true and not an evil lie that they tell to pregnant women to give them hope. People keep telling me that I will wake up one morning with lots of energy and feeling great (as opposed to feeling green and wanting to sleep for 20 of the 24 hours). I will let you know when this happens. I do have to say that I have been feeling gradually less green (there are now periods of relief, rather than a full-on 24 hour onslaught of pukeyness) over the past few of weeks……so this gives me hope that the prophecy is true.

But other than my discomfort, everything seems to be going according to the grand plan. We have seen our little bean on the ultrasound and it is cooking away……trying hard to shed it’s alien appearance and grow into a more human looking little lump. I hear that we shouldn’t worry, and they do get cuter. It would be good if that is a true story too.

So….further updates to follow!
