Finishing off week 9 tonight…I’ll be 10 weeks tomorrow! It’s hard to believe; time has been going by really fast the past 2 weeks.
I’m still not feeling too great; I’ll have 2-3 hours each workday where I’ll feel ok, then it’s back to nausea for the rest of the workday and evening. I did feel ok in New York this past weekend. I think it had a lot to do with being off work and away from everyday stresses. I’m still not sleeping well, trying to get used to sleeping on my side, since I’m normally a back-sleeper. In a few weeks I won’t be allowed to sleep on my back anymore, so I’m trying to practice. Getting up 5 times at night to use the bathroom doesn’t help matters too much either.
I’m hoping that by the end of three months (in 2-3 weeks) my nausea will have subsided. *crossing fingers*
Oh, and I’ve gained 4 pounds already. Eep! It’s not much, but it’s hard to adjust to not being able to just go on a quick diet or exercise a lot to get rid of that. I’m still trying to let the fact that gaining weight is ok settle in my mind 🙂
I have a follow-up appointment with my OB Thursday to go over ultrasounds from 2 weeks ago, and check up on my progress. Hopefully everything’s coming along great!

Ok, so I’ve decided to put my “belly” pictures online. What female in their right mind would put pictures of themselves online gaining weight?!? Argh. Oh well, I’m sure people want to see it. Paul has been taking a picture of me every week since we found out we were pregnant, to be able to watch my belly grow. There hasn’t been much change yet, only a little thickening of my waist and a tiny little pooch starting 🙂
Soon I’ll be a house…hehe.

As unbelievable as it may sound, I’ve already started wearing some maternity clothes. The clothes I usually wear are more ‘fitted’ in style, so they aren’t taking to my expanding waistline as much as I’d like. I spent the last 2 weeks looping hair ties through my button holes and around my buttons to add an extra inch or so to all my pants. Well, that’s not quite working anymore, and it’s getting uncomfortable to squish into my clothes.
Colleen was in town this weekend, so we took a ride to Kohl’s and the mall and got a pair of maternity jeans and khakis. I swear, they are the most comfortable things ever! There’s something to say about having a big elastic band around your waist…easy on/off, comfy as heck, and a personal joy of “Yay, I’m pregnant!” even though most can’t tell just by looking at me. 🙂
I’m 9 weeks now…this is what my little one should be looking like…how cute!

Paul’s been doing all the posting lately, but that’s mostly because I’ve been saving up for mine. As you can tell from the picture below (or because we’ve already told you), we’re pregnant!! We are 8 weeks along; due March 5, 2008. We found out on June 23, and have kept it a secret until now. It was the hardest secret we’ve ever had to keep.
We had our first ultrasound on July 9 at 5 weeks, 5 days. The baby was 2.6mm. My doctor was a little concerned though because the heartbeat was in the low-normal range. I had to go for a 2nd ultrasound this morning, and everything checked out perfect. The baby has grown to 15.4mm and the heartbeat was 163bpm. Everything was perfect and it had grown by leaps and bounds, so we decided it was time to tell everyone. We of course called parents, and siblings and are in the process of telling people at our work and our friends. We figure that within a week most will know either from us or from reading this 🙂
I’ve been pretty sick the last 1.5 weeks. I get really nauseous if I don’t eat every hour and a half. Food is very unappetizing to me, but I have to keep eating anyhow. Paul has really stepped up (thanks for raising a great one Lary & Narni!) with cooking, shopping, housework, and pet care. I couldn’t ask for a better husband, especially when I feel so yucky.
Check out the picture below, and click on it to see the rest of them. We’ll keep updating as time goes on!
