Why am I doing this?

I've been wanting to write about what's going on with me for a while. It's somewhat difficult because I can't/won't tell anyone outside of immediate family that I am, in fact, pregnant. (Having two miscarriages last year put the damper on the telling part. It's not so much what happened as the having to tell people what happened that is the issue.)

This time around, however, things look good. We've worked with an infertility specialist and I'm on progesterone, and so far everything looks okay. My first ultrasound is tomorrow, so that will give us some more information. Why, then, am I trying to hard not to get too excited? Is there some built-in moderating function in my brain that is trying to avoid recreating the hurts of the past by not getting too invested in the future?

However, we are looking forward to the addition of our new doggie in a few months, which is something that is safer to be excited about. His name is Link, he's a tricolor Pembroke Welsh Corgi, and he's going to be two weeks old this Sunday. :)

We won't be able to bring him home until the second week of April due to our travel plans, but still, it's exciting all the same! Can't wait to see him this weekend.

In other news: I wore my first pair of maternity jeans ever today. They are really comfortable, and I got them from the Salvation Army, which is even better! I've been a little weirded out by the fact that they tend to slide down (no belt loops) but I'm sure they will be fitting me better in a few weeks or months.

That's it for now. New blog, begin!
