10 Weeks

Well it's here...I'm finally in the double digits...and believe it or not there actually IS a little bump there now! Nothin really too new...still falling asleep at any given point in the day, still fighting a bad appetite, but all in all so far its been a smooth ride. We bought paint for the nursery today (something Todd's been dying to do since months before we even got pregnant) so that will be his little project here in the near future. Gotta admit he's been a trooper so far...I always knew he'd be good with this whole process and it did take him a couple weeks to get adjusted but he's got his game face on now. He's successfully made it through a few uncontrollable tears, has accepted the fate of carrying every thing in, out, and around the house, and has finally started to understand that no matter how hungry I am for something right now I can't guarantee I won't turn green at the sight of it by the time I actually get to eat it.

I think my biggest adjustment has really been the lack of energy. I've never really had a big appetite ever and have already spent the last 10 years giving Todd the left overs on my plates because I NEVER finish a meal...but never in my life have I been short of breath walking up a flight of stairs, or been exhausted after a visit to one store, or wanted nothing more than to just put pj's on and lay on the couch with my blanket and remote waiting to just fade off for a few minutes here and there. It's definitely been a huge change and something I'm still not completely adjusted to.

I think this is the first week that you can actually see a little bump in the picture...very little at that, but there...and Todd and I were also kind of entertained earlier at the fact that parts of my belly are a little firm...not entirely, but definitely not the mush it was a few months ago! Hopefully that means that the physical changes will be coming soon so I can start associating all these internal changes with something I can see in the mirror!

2nd prenatal appt is on Monday so we'll have another update then!
