Adventures in Pregnancy - 7 Weeks, 3 Days

So I don't feel pregnant... which leads to the question, what does it feel like to be pregnant? I've been all over the Internet looking for the answer to that question.

Every site says I should be having morning sickness... nothing yet. I should be on a raging hormonal roller coaster... in fact, I am feeling a little emotionally numb. I should be feeling tired... Ok, they score a point with that one. My breasts should be growing... another point to the Internet. My nipples should be darkening... careful examination, I am determining that if anything they are lighter.

My mother had 2 non-issue pregnancies (other than the overdue factor with both). She had no morning sickness. I've looked everywhere to see if daughters could compare pregnancies to their mother and the Internet came up with a blank.

I still expect spotting every time I go to the bathroom. I still have twinges and cramps. I occasionally think the test was a false positive.

My next prenatal appointment is February 2ND and my specialist appointment is February 12. So until then, I don't think any of this will be real.

Good luck! (I don't know if "luck" has anything to do with it, but the sentiment is what counts, right?).
