6 Weeks, 2 Days: The Facts, Ma'am, Just the Facts

• Thank you all for your comments on the last post! Wow! I feel the love.
  
• I'm still very, VERY early in my pregnancy at only 6 weeks, 2 days, but I've already known for 3 weeks.
• To be specific, I found out at 3 weeks, 3 days and am one of those rare-ish birds who got a positive test at only 9 days past ovulation. Score one for a shorter luteal phase!
• My sister and I will have our babies 6 months apart, which is awesome.
  
• Pregnancy chart on FertilityFriend.com, if you like that kind of thing.
  
• I decided that I am comfortable about sharing my news on the blog, but not on Facebook. I think this logic might not make sense to everyone, but the way I see it is that on my blog I share both good news and bad. Should I suffer a miscarriage (and I really don't like even writing that), I know I would feel compelled to blog about it. I also feel compelled to blog about what goes on in the first trimester, because there is so much fun vomiting news to share. What I would not like to do, however, is only be allowed 3 little sentences on Facebook regarding a pregnancy loss. That situation makes me very nervous and uncomfortable. So that's why I'm telling my blog about being pregnant, but keeping it hush-hush on Facebook. I am fully aware that this little plan of mine might not work out the way that I envision and if the news gets leaked to FB, eh, so be it.
  
• Morning sickness started last week on Wednesday with that lovely bile-in-the-back-of-my-throat feeling and it has gotten worse everyday. I'm now up to try-to-vomit-in-an-attempt-to-feel-better stage and I fully anticipate that spontaneous vomiting is around the corner. Wheeeee!
  
• Since I have PTSD from my last bout of morning sickness, I'm feeling nervous about anything I expose myself to now. Like, if we keep watching Mad Men on DVD, will it ruin Mad Men forever more? And maybe I shouldn't listen to my new Guster album, for fear or ruining that, too? And is lime mineral water going to be off-limits for life now that I'm consuming 3 20-oz bottles a day? Oh noes!
  
• In preparation for the impending vomits, I made 10 frozen meals last week. I feel pretty awesome about that one. What I do not feel awesome about is the thought of re-heating and having to actually consume said meals. GAG GAG GAG
  
• I have a few posts that I wrote in the past few weeks that I'll share with you over the next week. I think I'm going to cross-post all pregnancy posts here and at Preggy Blonde so I have a complete and separate record of this pregnancy, just like I did with Bella's. I'm already liking that I can compare symptoms.
  
• I took every single pregnancy test from the pack of 25 that I bought for $10 online in late September. Pregnancy test-taking gets really fun when you are pregnant, especially when that second line keeps getting darker and darker. Promise I'm done taking tests now.
  
• My first midwife appointment is 10 years away on December 3. I'll be in my 9th week.
• I think that's it. For now. Pregnancy makes me want to tell you the most mundane things ever. How fun-slash-incredibly-boring for you!
