Week 10 - the baby is IN:)

So Monday evening we got to see our precious Nug for the first time! It was pretty amazing and surreal. People asked me if I cried, I didn't. I just smiled like a big doofus. :)



Also, for the first time people have been telling me that I'm showing. I rolled my eyes at first, but then went into the bathroom at work yesterday, at only 10 weeks and a couple of days, and here's what I look like from the side:

Woah. They are right. I am worried that at this rate I'll be a whale. My goal for this weekend and next week is to get on the elliptical machine. I'm lacking motivation big time, but I want to get in better shape. I owe it to Nug! :)

9 Week + 4 Day Check-In

I look like I'm 7 months pregnant. Awesome.


Mood/Energy/Appetite:I feel... better. The waves of nausea are pretty occasional, I have more energy, and my appetite isn't huge. I've been in an awesome mood up until last night when I got cranky and sleepy at like 6pm. Nick took excellent care of me. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I think of how lucky I am!
Weight:Up 3 pounds. More than I would like at this point, but as you can see from the picture... well, it obviously went to my belly.
Clothes:I broke down went shopping for some "bigger" clothes. Most of my clothes that are juniors sizes M and L are uncomfortable now because the last thing I want is something fitted. So I bought some new shirts and held them out in the belly to make sure they had room to grow. Also got a new bra, because the girls are growing at an alarming rate. Most of my 34D bras are too small! I also ordered some maternity clothes I found on sale. I got two dresses and two shirts for $38.50 on Destination Maternity. So cute! :)
Gender:Nick thinks twins, a boy and a girl. I think he's crazy. I am pretty sure there is just one in there and that it's a boy. Or a girl. I really don't know!
Dr. Appointments:Monday! 4 Days! I can't wait!!!! I have a list of things to ask the doctor all ready to go and I can't wait to see this little nugget.
Anything else?I'm ready to start exercising more. I've been doing the occasional walk and elliptical machine, but with the lack of energy it hasn't taken much to wear me out. I'd like to get the go-ahead from my doctor on Monday to start a better exercise routine. So I'm anxious to see what he says.

Well, that's all for my check-in. I'm going to try to do this at least every other week. I've been really slacking so far. Next week I'll have ultrasound pictures to share! So stay tuned...
