Surprisingly Calm (But Happy)

Hi! So for about a week I've known I was pregnant, I could just feel it. Got it confirmed yesterday! :) We're very excited, but at the same time I just feel so calm and content. I remember feeling that way the first time (5 years ago, which sadly didn't stick around. :( ) I've always been very excited (and nervous) about getting pregnant, so I've always thought I'd bounce off the walls, but both times I just feel happy, content, and calm, (but thrilled. :)) I know all pregnancies are different, but I was wondering if anyone else had that and how long it stuck around (it'd be nice if I could keep this collected the entire way through!)

    I'm a pretty rational and calm pregnant person for the most part.

    My first ended in a stillbirth and while that was nervewracking and as result I don't love being pregnant to this day, I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. After living through that I've learned that it's all in the control of nature/Higher Power and facewash, touching cats, lunchmeat caffeine, salad dressing and cheese have very little to do with it at the end of the day. :)

    It also helps my OB has delivered hundreds of babies in his 35 year career so not much gets him worked up either.

    Yes. This is me. I'm happy. And calm. Not once have I been bouncing off the walls. My reaction was something like, "Huh....I'm pregnant. That's nice."

    Hi everyone! Congrats to everyone! :)

    Are there calming hormones or something? I'm usually a pretty high-strung person-I get excited and stressed easily. I was literally jumping on the bed my wedding morning, danced around the house when I was accepted to grad school, and I squeel whenever something makes me happy. I haven't done any of that- just can't stop smiling. :) I like starting out this way- hopefully it sticks around! 

    @DairyGirl- I'm so sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine how painful that must have been! :(

    Just in case anyone else is puzzled by the calmness, I got to be around a lot of women who've been pregnant yesterday and a lot of them said they did experience calming hormones. So I guess they do exist! :)
