10 Weeks

10 weeks along, and no photo. Lame. Maybe we will take one tonight.

Here are the symptom updates:

Nausea
Brushing my teeth has become my own personal hell. Seriously, I gag every time. I thought I was settling into a nice routine of just being ill in the evenings, but then the mornings started up again the other day. So, we will see...from everything I hear, I have the hope of all hopes that in two weeks we will have another nice picture of Baby G and I can look forward to nausea coming to an end. Yay!

Skin
I look worse than I did at 15 in the face. Seriously, where is the glow people, where is the glow?

Weight/Clothes
Hardly any of my clothes fit, and I am starting to wonder if I am even going to have to tell the husband's family when we get back from Christmas, or if I will just walk in the room and be like "Surprise!"

In other news, the BeBand is probably the best invention ever. Saving my work clothes.

Cravings/Aversions
Come and go. Sometimes I can eat everything in sight, and sometimes just the sight of something makes me want to throw up all over. ::shrug:: It's a miracle, right?

Cramps/Pain
I get weird pains every now and again, dull pains mind you, throughout my uterus area and hips. I have been assured that all of this is just my uterus stretching and growing to make room for baby, but I can't help but worry about these things from time to time. Total loss of control over your own body = awesome.

Mental State
When is pregnancy brain supposed to start? Is it a product of fatigue? In any case, I know I am losing my mind. I have walked out of the house twice this week without my sunglasses. That is a huge deal for this BA who wears her sunglasses at night. (mostly because i use them as a headband)


All in all I am really enjoying being pregnant regardless of all of these things. It is just so cool.  (That didn't sound very English Major-y, did it?)

It is just inexplicably wondrous. (there!)

I am really, really excited to begin telling more people soon. I just know that this baby is going to be surrounded with so much love, and I want it to start as soon as possible!


10 weeks along

....and I am so excited we are in the double digits!
