The First Trimester

First Trimester

This is all the panicked blather from my first trimester. Most of this didn’t get posted until the 9th week, since I didn’t want to jump the gun and announce it before we saw the baby via ultrasound. Note that the week number indicates that it is my n^th week of pregnancy – so at the beginning of week 5, I was 4 weeks pregnant, etc. All weeks are LMP, not gestation. For more information, see this post.
