Wow. So I’ve seriously neglected this site. And all my other sites. These early signs of pregnancy are exhausting. We’re getting ready to go away for our honeymoon for a whole week, and I hope I can last through it. In fact, I’m counting on having some fun too! Right now, I’m down with a cold — coughing up phlegm, sore throat, sniffy nose — and I’m trying my best to naturally get over it without having to use any type of cold medicine, even pregnancy-safe ones. However, if I don’t get over this quickly, I’m going to have to resort to medicine. This isn’t comfortable at all, and considering this is our first pregnancy, I’m really just wanting to be as safe as possible for Baby Bean. Safe, and healthy.

I can’t wait until I start to show. It’s really a very amazing process. Bean has a heart now. An actual beating heart inside my uterus! It’s so amazing. The whole idea of it just boggles my mind. Intellectually, I grasp it, but emotionally and mentally, I now understand the concept of “miracle of birth.” What a beautiful, beautiful thing. I talk to Bean all day long, too. We have one-sided conversations. I tell Bean to grow, grow, grow.

And now I’m all tired out just by writing this post.

On a side note, I’ve also been thinking of getting myself a watch. I haven’t worn it in the past because I’ve always depended on my cell phone, but since the power has been going out so much due to high winds and rain, I’m actually thinking of wearing a wrist watch again (perhaps something like this Vacheron Constantin watch?). I think I need one especially for our honeymoon. Otherwise I’d be lost since I’m not bringing my cell phone. Heh.
