That is truly wonderful that you are pregnant then Beth! I'm glad to hear that you are doing better -- gaining 1 pound is better than losing weight! 5 months is over half way -- you'll be there soon!
I too almost think it's better to be surprised with a pregnancy. I'm finding the mental preparation for this next pregnancy is very hard. I think about it all the time. How do you consciously commit yourself to being that sick? If it were a suprise you would just deal with it and survive somehow. But knowing that you purposely caused yourself to be in this miserable state! However it's the end result that we want -- a beautiful baby boy or girl -- and some of us just have to go through more to get it. Our children are worth it though!
