Week 10!

Ok, so here we are in week 10! Yay, I can't believe it. This last week has been great. I'm starting to feel like myself again. I have been more active after work and on the weekends and have even thought about (it's the first step, right!?) going back to ZUMBA. I haven't actually gone back to zumba, but the thought counts! The nausea has dwindled to almost nothing, but I don't want to jinx myself because I have heard of it making a 2nd (or 3rd) appearance in pregnancy. I still get ravenously hungry at a moments notice almost to the point where I'm sick, but hey, that happened to some extent when I WASN'T pregnant! :) For the first time this week, I am starting to notice a little bulge that is not bloating. This bulge is way different. It's hard, and it feels that way even when I am hungry and sucking in. WEIRD! I don't care what people say, there is nothing more crazy than watching your own body do strange things and coming to the realization that there is something really growing inside there. We are kinda at a stopping point on talking about names for Blue (grampy's name for baby) because we just want to find out the gender!! I know, impatience, right?! We haven't even put a thought into clearing out the "nursery" and possibly purchasing some baby stuff-I'm sure it'll come over me like a wave and I'll just go crazy. But for now, we are just hanging in there, waiting to get our next ultrasound.

Oh yeah, and for the picture above, that's me and my honeybear, and let's just hope wedded bliss lasts because I think I'm already driving him crazy. He has brought me 4,392 glasses of water in the past 8 wks without even blinking! Love this man!!
