week 1

wow! last week was an emotional whirlwind.

last monday, oct 30'06, i took the pregnancy test at home, after work, and came out of the bathroom to exclaim to mark "i'm prgenant!" -- he was excited of course, as was i, however the emotional high was followed by a low, the likes of which i hadn't expected.
i became weepy that evening, and in fact throughout the week had a few episodes of inconsolable crying accompanied by feelings of anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed. i did not sleep well at all, which of course added to the anxiety level. i became irrational and neurotic. wow!

yesterday, nov 5th, we went over to ma+da's apartment to tell them the news, and their euphoria was contagious. i felt better, more relaxed, and was able to voice some of my neuroses to them, which they allayed, as mark had been doing all week. i slept better last night, although still am exhausted today.

but let's hope that was just the craziness of week one, and that it is all behind us now...

on to week two...
