10 weeks and I'm goin' down!

I jinxed myself. I knew it would happen. Dammit! I still have yet to blow chunks, which is good, but the nausea is no joke! Neither is the bloating, or general feeling of ickiness taking over my insides.

I graduated to maternity pants, which seemed ridiculous at the time of purchase (I was only 9.5 weeks!!), but they're pretty awesome, I must say. I may never go back to regular pants. They're like yoga pants, but fancier! What's not to like?!

Chris has been amazing these last few weeks. Now that I'm pretty much worthless in the home improvement area, he's been crazy busy painting, wiring, installing, cooking, cleaning and doing anything else I task him with. He's barely even complained! This bodes well for our future.

And now, presenting my first bump picture! It's still a lot of bloat, so don't get too excited. It's gone up and down all week, but here it is!

8 weeks and I'm feeling goooood!

I feel weird, but good. Making a baby is tiring, let me tell you. My books say that it's equal to body building or running a marathon everyday, and I believe it! I'm exhausted ALL. THE. TIME.

But that's okay. As long as everything I eat stays in my stomach, I'm fine with falling asleep at my desk. So far, so good. Knock on wood, fingers crossed, and all that.

We had our first doctor's appointment this week, which went well. I got a flu shot (seems redundant, but now I'm SUPER immune) and gave a gallon of blood (not really). The best is still yet to come in 3 days - our first ultrasound! I'm hoping they can find the heartbeat and that we can get a picture of our li'l bean!

And here's the little bubby!
