Essie: Week 6 Pregnancy Journal
7/5/16 Finally had an appointment with my OB-GYN, and it's pretty official to the tune of a February 10th due date. Little winter baby. Couldn't see much on that early ultra sound, but there is definitely something cooking in there. I think the news is still sinking in. I mean, it's almost absurd, isn't it? That we try for 6 years and then the minute we accept that it's not happening, I get knocked up. Makes me wonder if we should have made our peace with it sooner. But then I might have missed out on so much, getting involved with Sal's show, etc. Crazy how things work out. Crazy how overnight I go from barren woman to expecting a child. What am I going to do with a little baby? The idea is actually overwhelming me now that it's in motion. And I was kind of excited about the idea of not having to deal with pregnancy weight gain and loss, but now that's a thing. Brooke will love this. Is it just in my head that french fries seem like the best invention ever, or am I actually already experiencing pregnancy cravings? Maybe I'm always just looking for an excuse to eat fried foods.... Maybe I'll book a great pregnant woman role and make some money off this thing. Then I'll save any residuals I get and hire a trainer to lose the weight after. HA! Always thinking.
