Thanks of the miracle of gestational math, I am 4 weeks, 6 days pregnant.

Now, I know that I was not pregnant a month ago. But most women don't know the exact day they ovulated/conceived, so the medical convention is to date the pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period. Freaky, huh?

But it makes me feel better. It makes me feel like it's all very solid and established. I know that there are a zillion things that can still go wrong, but since I don't have to pass any tests until May 14th, I'm going to just accept the reality that I am pregnant and enjoy it.

Depending on which online calculator you fancy, I'm due sometime between December 25th and 28th. The 28th is K's birthday, so that's kind of cool.

I saw the naturopath this morning. She said my pulses were nice and strong. Between that and the fact that my HCG almost tripled in 48 hours, she said that this was "one tenacious bean." So that's what we're calling "him" -- Tenacious B.

Now, on to the Miracle of Life: ( How I'm feeling... )
