Growing My Bean

I've started to blog for a couple of reasons.  For me, writing is very therapeutic, it is a perfect way to express yourself without any immediate verbal feedback. The second reason I started this blog, is to keep those of you who are interested, and those of you whom I rarely talk to, updated on my life and the progress of the pregnancy ( growing my little bean). Some of you are probably wondering why I chose the to call the baby my bean. Here's why...around 8 weeks into a woman's pregnancy the baby is no bigger then a Lima bean ( Lima beans are my absolute favorite beans to eat:) I read that somewhere, and calling the baby my little bean just stuck. I am well aware that it no longer looks like a bean anymore, but it will always be my little bean in my mind.

I am currently 13 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy. The last few weeks have been HARD...if felt and still feel at times as if an alien invaded my body and took over it's normal functioning. I am happy to say that my energy is returning...and I am happy to continue the process of growing my bean :)

I will warn you that some of these post will be somewhat personal. I am also starting this blog, to give those of you who are curious some insight on how it is to find out you're pregnant unexpectedly...and all the emotions that come along with preparing to be a single mom.
