''To dream the impossible dream, to fight the unbeatable foe, to bear with unbearable sorrow, to run where the brave dare not go, to right the unrightable wrong, to love, pure and chaste, from afar; to try when your arms are too weary; to reach the unreachable star. This is my Quest---to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far, to fight for the right without question or pause'' (The Impossible Dream - lyrics by Joe Darion, music by Mitch Leigh)
I will be eight weeks on Tuesday. Purge went with me to get the sonogram today. So we have a picture of the baby. She or He is only 1/2" long and shaped like a kidney bean. But we saw the heart beat today. It was so amazing.
I've known four about seven weeks now. I've been going through the most terrible morning/noon/night sickness and I can't stay awake past 9 a.m. The hardest part has been keeping it a secret so I just stopped talking to everyone. LOL! There are more details on my livejournal. I also started a pregancy live journal called CTNEWMOM. But that's only if you're hardcore into bodily functions because I talk about everything.
Purge accepted a position today in Madison. He starts out a little less than what he was making before. But after 90 days, they'll give him a pay raise and that will match what he was making at his last job. And at 6 months, he'll get a $3K raise and then a yearly review every year thereafter. So we're very happy about that.
Tonight we're celebrating with steaks on the grill and tater tots -- because I've been craving them! posted by Tempest at 1:52 PM[edit]
