Week Four - Little Baby. Big Secret.

It's week 4. A and I just got back from Aunt Marian's memorial in Boston.  This weekend was a great tribute to Marian's life and what her family called a "legacy of love." It's strange when life is ending and beginning at the same time. We told our parents I am pregnant over the weekend, but we're keeping the news close for now. We really want this new little life to thrive.

The "baby" is actually just a collection of cells - about the size of a poppy seed. Still big enough to be excited about. I've been tired, and craving carbs. Today, A made a delicious dinner of pasta with yellow squash, garlic, basil, lemon juice, and pecorino romano. It was so much better with basil straight from our little patio garden.

I'm looking forward to seeing my family in Michigan in July, and my first OBGYN appointment. I will get an ultrasound before I can actually see the doctor. This was the same doctor I saw after the miscarriage in February, so at least we are already acquainted.
