Getting quite nauseous

Which is a good thing and I'm very pleased, but it's pretty tough at the moment dealing with a cold at the same time. The chemist refused to sell me decongestants when I said I was pregnant but, after doing some research on the web, I've discovered that some are safe. So I'm treating myself to a dose of Sudafed first thing in the morning and just before bed. What a luxury.

I've been shocked at the growing size of my belly! At first I thought I was just bloated but I caught my profile in the hall mirror and I already look pregnant. I can't believe it's happening so quickly. It's going to be very hard to keep this pregnancy a secret from Nikki when she comes over in a few weeks. I should be barfing left and right by then and, at this rate, my bump will be quite noticeable.

We've decided to keep it all secret until after we've passed a few more milestones and had some tests done. I'd also like to be able to tell my parents in person that I'm pregnant at least once! Besides, I know they will only worry until we get the all-clear and they have enough on their plates at the moment. So, mum's the word! Hee hee.
