Week 8 successfully completed, and

Week 8 successfully completed, and now week 9 begins. I feel more at ease, and it's been a good weekend in general. I got to get some extra sleep (yay!) and I also am feeling less queasy. That is a definite plus. Friday night Beth came over bearing gifts to make pregnant me more comfortable, which was just so sweet of her. She also brought a book called "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy". I've almost finished it (much to Mike's dismay) and it's been a really good read. It tells you all the nitty gritty bits of pregnancy that your doctor never would address, including mood swings, body changes, cravings, maternity fashion, and delivery fears. Nice. Now I'm going to eat some garlic-marinated mushrooms and watch tv.
