Week 1:
First the counting of weeks of pregnancy is very confusing! Why is it counting from the start of my last period? It also depends on the fertility app you use but so confusing! But from period is the way the Dr uses, so here we are. I know I’m writing in the past but before it all gets faded I wanted to remember how every week of the pregnancy felt. I was actually in NYC not taking great care of myself, which for a chronic illness girl is not recommended, I was sleeping very little, drinking lots of wine and just having a blast. We had decided to stop trying in early June, so it was the first time I was eating out and drinking wine in almost a year. We had started down the path of exploring agencies for domestic adoption and foster care to adopt, attending orientations and understanding the journey. I was at peace with that decision so I completely let loose and just had a me week – maybe that’s what I needed!
