I am now 6 weeks pregnant.  I'm looking forward to meeting my new ob-gyn next week.   I've got tons of questions for her and I know I still have to complete my physical exam, lab tests, and a Pap test.  Actually, Im having hard time choosing an ob.  But that would be on my next blog entry. 

Today, I still have a sorethroat.  I can't take any medication coz Im afraid it would jeopardize the health of my baby.  I just take lots of fluid and for that matter, bathroom now is my bestfriend. And I hate it.  Im not sure if its the weather that makes me wanna pee every now and then or just meeh adjusting to the demands of pregnancy.  I still have tender, aching breasts and I feel  very exhausted.  My body needs to rest every couple of hours.  I hope this tiredness will pass over time coz I felt this all the way to my first trimester before. I can't do much at the house but to lie down, walk a little, eat and lie down again.  Although I tried to do the laundry today and yet I feel so stressed with that few bundles of clothes.  I can't cook anything and we've been eating out for a couple of days now.  Im still afraid of morning sickness and sometimes, I feel nauseated.  At this early stage, I'm  worried about miscarriages and Im still wondering how he/she'd look like.  We're still excited.  I just want vitamins for my baby and its all that matter to me now.  I still haven't fully informed all my friends yet about my status but I'm sure they'll be excited and before I know it, they already got the good news.
