Hey exes! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Couple months at least. I used to keep Ex open on my browser at work but morning sickness got the best of me during the first trimester and I had a hard enough time being at work much less doing anything extra. Plus, I've spent a great deal of time researching and reading about pregnancy and all the things that come along with that.

I haven't kept my Quit right at the forefront but am still going strong with almost 6 months! No puff, no drag, no nothing. I even had a smoking friend at my house Friday night and most of Saturday and I didn't care one way or the other. She took the dogs for a walk to smoke and I could smell the smoke on her when she got back and it was awful!!  I still can't believe I used to smell like that ALL the time and thought perfume and body spray covered it up!

The pregnancy is going well. I am at 16 weeks this week and go for my checkup on Thursday. The nausea from morning sickness has eased up a good bit and I'm functioning thanks to medication. I'm anxious to find out what we're having and still have another month before I'll know, hopefully. I'm experiencing some anxiety associated with all of the uncertainties of early pregnancy. I had hoped they would ease up as I entered the second trimester, but anything can happen at any time, and I am freaked that I'll go to my next appointment and be told that their is no heartbeat. I feel like it's completely irrational since there are no signs or symptoms that anything is wrong.

Anyways! I hope everyone else is doing great with their Quits.

{10.17.2016} I am 32 years old and started smoking at 13 years old. I've attempted to quit many times over the years but it wasn't until Oct 2017 that I felt I was really ready. I did it for my boyfriend, he does not smoke and hates that I do, and the possibility of a family someday. 1.25.2017~ I am 100 days into my quit and smoke free! I also recently learned I am pregnant! If not for this site my quit would not have been a reality. 5.11.2017~ I am over 200 days quit and almost halfway through my pregnancy. We found out that our baby is a little girl. I am beyond ecstatic to be living life with the man I love and a beautiful baby girl who will make us a family.
