So, let me start by saying this is not easy and I have been a nervous nelly.
Not that strange for me to be nervous since I seriously don't like the "unknown"
and pregnancy is wrought with the UNKNOWN! I thought this was one of those
things that every woman in the world had done, so it was all known! Nope....
most people say things like "its different for everybody" and "I never had that,
but it is probably totally normal". What? Terrifying.
I am exaggerating of course, and if you know me, that statement isn't a shocker
at all. I am 16 weeks in and I have no idea what is going on. The only thing
that keeps me calm is the appointments with my very dry and humorless doctor
where I either get to see the Tater Tot or hear the heartbeat. Then I can
breath and all seems right with the world, for he next 24 hours at least.
Noodles has been fascinated with me in a new way for the last 3 months. She has
been overly cuddly, not that she isn't normally cuddly, but she seems
'concerned' about me, which freaks me out because I assume she knows more than
me with her super-sonic nose and what not. Speaking of her nose, she has
started to sniff my belly, then she looks up and me like "what is going on in
there?" again, look of concern that makes me concerned and we are back to
nervous nelly stage. The husband thinks I am crazy of course, but that isn't
actually new.
Here is a recent conversation while I was in a bit of a panic stage
Me: Um, I don't think the baby is in there anymore.
Husband: huh?
Me: Yeah, I think it might have left....
Husband: What do you mean, left?
Me: I don't know, maybe it has a transporter and it went somewhere else.... but
I am not sure it is in there anymore.
Husband: (long pause while he stares at me) I think you should stop talking and
go to sleep, you might need a nap.
He was right, I needed a nap.

I don't know if you have already checked it out but Babycenter.com was awesome during my 28 weeks of HUH?!?
