Like an old friend

Ah, early pregnancy.  This morning I awoke early and my stomach was rumbling.  Not in a happy way, either.  I haven't been feeling queasy, really, just lacking appetite.  Today, though, that general unpleasantness has arrived.  Welcome! I say.

For me, the quease is a tacit reminder that my baby is alive and well--I get a little nervous when I don't feel anything.  Though I have been sucked-dry-to-the-bones tired and warm like a brick oven, and there's that pleasant swollen heaviness that reminds me I'm an incubator, really the yuck-in-my-guts reassures me most.  Yea for morning sickness!  Seven more weeks!
