Intro - hello!

Hi everyone,

This is my first day on here, and I'm so excited!  I took HPTs on Tues and Wed this week and had 3 positive outcomes   Pretty surprising as we have only been 'trying' really for about 2 months, and honestly we haven't been trying very hard.  So, I am 5 weeks and feeling a mixture of emotions that come along with the first few weeks: excited, nervous, anxious, scared, etc...but mainly excited!

My husband and I have been married for 2 years this May; I'm 29 and he's 34 and we live in Ontario, Canada.  This is the first pregnancy for both of us!

I'm planning to deal with a midwife, because I have several friends who have done this and loved it, or one who didn't for the first but plans to for the 2nd...so it seems like a great way to go! We have our first appointment on May 23, so I'm crossing my fingers that we get to that point without any issues...of course the potential for miscarriage will loom over us until then, but at that point I will be 9.5 weeks so almost near the end of 1st trimester and hopefully a bit of relief.

So far, I've only experienced some cramping and slight nausea (but no m/s yet) and disinterest in eating.  I feel like I should have more symptoms but at the same time, am thankful for starting out well...hope it continues!

I'm so excited for this journey to continue with you all!
