my first time being pregnate

Hi! It's my first time, too, and my first time on a message board. For the first couple weeks it was knowledge I knew in my head, but had trouble registering. I was just so shocke! Then a couple weeks of morning sickness made it seem a little more real, but I felt so bad I couldn't really concentrate on the fact that it was a baby making me feel that way. After the morning sickness stopped, this really weird thing starting to happen. It feels like my stomach has moved up and midsection literally feels crowded. here, at almost 9 weeks, is when reality is finally starting to set in! Hope this helps, but I hear from everyone it's normal to be in 'shock' for the beginning;-)
