I have been flip flopping back and forth on whether or not to blog about this so soon. I worry about jinxing myself. I'm a little on the, crap I can't think of the word... damn brain. Superstitious! There we go. Anyways, I am between 4 and 6 weeks pregnant. We hadn't been trying very long so I didn't think it would be till summer when I was writing this blog. I had almost immediate morning sickness, dizziness, bloating, and stupid brain since it was possible. I am going off my prescription pills in the next two weeks. (it's a slower process what with withdrawals and whatnot) I pretty much feel like I have the flu. I haven't told many "friends" or acquaintances. Some family members (who don't have this blog addy) don't even know and I plan to keep it that way for a while. They drove me bat shit with the last pregnancy. If I am scatterbrained for the next eight or so months, you now know why. I had a doctor's appointment with my regular md (my insurance requires proof of pregnancy and referral BEFORE I can see my ob-gyn) and had another (the third) positive test. He also told me that the severe tingling in my finger from the rat bite is because he bit through a nerve. I actually said under my breath, that son of a bitch. Which got a chuckle out of my doctor. Anyways, here we are and I'm sure I will bitch, whine, piss and moan for the next several months at the very least because I am frickin' uncomfortable already. And I have a superhero's sense of smell. Which makes morning sickness that much worse. All litter boxes much be kept super clean or I want to vomit. I've been doing the kittens box twice a day and it's in an enclosed room but I swear I can still smell it. (and yes I know all the risks with litter boxes and pregnancy) No one at work knows yet. Honestly, I don't know how much I trust these people yet. I'm just not ready to tell them. Plus, there's always the chance this early that something could happen.
I planted some of my pumpkins today. I'm not sure how but I only ended up planting two seeds of orange and six seeds of white. Now I have to decide whether I want to plant more orange or not. I also planted a few morning glories. I have TONS of those to go but their mostly for the backyard by the cat house. I've decided where I'm going to plant my zinnia's. I love them but they're really tall and difficult to find a good place for. I decided to plant them around a very large tree in our yard. I have a ton of them as well in many color varieties. I've succeeded in at least getting carrots to start to grow. Now we'll have to see if they make it. I also have quite a few cucumbers ready to plant. I don't know what I'll do with all those cucumbers. They were actually meant for the snails. (I know I'm ridiculous) And I have more sunflowers than I know what to do with. I think they're really pretty but again, not an easy flower to find a place for. Especially with all the dogs trying to run down everything I put in the backyard.

OOOOO! Congratulations! I can't wait to read 8 months of bitching and moaning! I'll feel like I'm going right along for the ride with you! I'm so happy! Wear gloves when cleaning the cat boxes. Get a mask from the drug store and dab a little perfume or something in it. I've got some zucchini and squash babies with no home. Wondering about containers. Linda
Congratulations!!!! I wouldn't have thought you to be superstitious! I love zinnias and sunflowers, especially the giant sunflowers. Every time I put any kind of pumpkin or veggies in the ground the deer eat them so I am doing a few small container veggies this year. They'll probably be eaten by the racoons & groundhogs but oh wel, they need to eat too!
