Dear bean in my belly,
Today I was feeling very unpregnant; I started to wonder if Shane and I hallucinated the extra pink line on our pregnancy test. (It was very faint...) But then I ate half a bag of potato chips for a mid-afternoon snack, which confirmed, yes, something is happening in my body.
Apparently you are desperately in need of potato chips, kalamata olives, grape tomatoes, strawberry shortcake, and string cheese, because nothing has ever tasted so delicious. (Not eaten all at once, mind you... although I haven't ruled it out as a viable option...) It's like I'm tasting for the first time. Just wait until those potato chips make their way to you, little bean! They are GLORIOUS!
I spent this weekend in bed, trying to recover from a sore throat and a fever that hit at the end of last week. Usually, when the thought even crosses my mind that I might be getting sick, I run for the medicine cabinet and start shoving whatever I can find down my throat. This was a different experience, just riding it out. I didn't want to take a even Tylenol, even though Shane broke the Sabbath to buy me some and Dr. Google seems to think it's okay. But I couldn't bring myself to take it. You are still so small and vulnerable, little bean!
And it is very strange to feel protective of something that 75% of the time you are certain is a figment of your imagination.
I have another blood test on Wednesday and an ultrasound in 8 days, and then maybe you will be cemented into reality, little bean.
Love,
Suzanne

Cepacol Throat Spray is the best invention ever! It numbs your throat when you spray. And it's approved by the Dr's for while you're pregnant. I still use it now. My doctor also said I could take Robitussm DM.
I completely understand what you're saying though.
