We have a history of miscarriage and being over 40 also increases the risk of miscarriage, so we decided not to say anything, especially to our kids, until we had seen/ heard a heartbeat, which we did last week. The kids are so excited and so are we.
.I was really sick for about 3 weeks - extreme nausea, extreme tired, extremely heightened sense of smell. I spent a great deal of the last few weeks sleeping or lying down and doing my best to avoid walking anywhere near the kitchen. Before I became pregnant, I didn't notice any smells in the kitchen, but now I do - funny. And unfortunately, for some reason I don't notice pleasant smells, only unpleasant ones, lol. The result of all that kitchen avoidance was not cooking for 3 weeks. Thankfully the nausea has subsided.
I actually made a menu plan for this week. I'm hoping to actually follow it. If I get a chance, I will post the menu later this week.
