[quote=Anonymous]Hi Everyone!  First time poster and I just found this thread today =)  I'm at about 9 weeks 2 days and had my first ultrasound this past Friday where we got to see the little peanut for the first time.  This is our first baby and it was completely unexpected.  I had just decided to finally track my cycle (never really did before and just got my period whenever I got it) so that I could estimate when I was ovulting and there it was.

Like alot of first timers, I'm having anxiety over wanting to know if everything is ok.  Everything worries me.  If my boobs aren't sore when I wake up, I think something is wrong.  If I'm not feeling sleepy at a certan time, I think something is wrong.  I should feel VERY lucky that this has been a relatively easy first trimester for me so far in terms of sickess/symptoms.  I've barely gotten naseous except when I smell cooking steak, cologne/perfume, korean food, or food on oeple's clothes.  Lately my sense of smell hasn't been as good, boobs not as sore, and energy level almost back to normal...which of course worries me.  When does the worrying end?

I'm also a fed employee and will be affected by the furlough (more so I think because I'm DoD and they plan to use the max 22 days allowed by law).  That will take away a substantial amount of my salary on top of baby expenses that we need to start saving for.  I don't know how anyone affords childcare!

Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself!  I'm in Alexandria, VA.  I'll pick my username as - Peanut =) [/quote]
