My brain has fallen out of my head!

So I am going to try and type this without making too many mistakes, but I don't have my mind today and it is really weird. I heard from many of my fellow colleagues that when you get pregnant your mind kind of flies out of the window, but I didn't think it would happen this soon. "Friends" just started and it's the episode where Phoebe is really pregnant and really emotional, sooo looking forward to that! :) I really think I am in denial and haven't really grasped the concept that I am pregnant.Even typing or saying the word out loud doesn't feel like it's sicking in. I feel like this is happening to someone else. I am excited but I am surprised I am still having a hard time believing the concept. I'm pregnant. I"M PREGNANT! - No, nothing. I was reading about this, and all the books say it is not only normal but common. Makes me feel better but I still can't wait until I really feel like I am having a baby!
J and I are planning on moving soon (need more room for the baby) and I think once I start decorating a nursery I will feel the pregnancy vibe. I was throwing names around with Jason the other night and we have definitely decided on the name if it's a boy, but we are still debating our choices for a girl. I tend to lean towards the different (no Ashley's, Jennifer's, Jessica's, etc.) We are definitely looking for the unusual, but what we do have are Isabella, Scarlett, Charlotte, and Caroline. My favorite name is still under consideration but we don't want to reveal it too soon. What I did realize was between Amanda, Olivia, and myself (if I have a boy) all of the boys will have "H" names. Harper, Hayden, and ....(don't worry we will reveal our names in due time) :)
Second weird thing that has been going on regarding El Bebe is my LOOOOOW energy level. I have been feeling like a zombie since 2 this afternoon. It feels like too much effort to even create full sentences. I don't know how those moms with like 16 kids do this that many times. I am seriously considering never doing this again :) J/K Seriously though, the pregnancy thing is no joke and I will never think otherwise again. Every pregnant women should get a medal of honor. For Pete's sake we are creating a new human being- a whole person.
Sorry for all the chatter but exhaustion makes me LOOPY! Hope to be more coherent and insightful, less whiny, and I'll even try and include a joke. :)

Talk to you soon,

Nina

Nina! Congratulations! What awesome news! In my 8.5 days as a mom, I have learned there is nothing better in the world than having a baby. Everyone says "Your life will never be the same" - where they fail is on the grim intonation, because the old you will be lost, and you will not want to find her - it's amazing!
On not believing you are pregnant - I totally fee you. After taking 7 HPTs, having confimed through another test at the doc and an ultrasond, I still thought it was a big lie... When that baby starts moving around in a few months, you will wake up KNO(WING you are pregnant.
Any morning sickness (I hope not, it's the pits)?
Much love,
Amands
