11 Weeks - Getting Harder to Hide!

At 11 weeks pregnant, I have a suspicion some close friends are wondering what's wrong with me. Why the spare tire? Why the acne? Why the lack of appetite? Why the abstention from alcohol? Why the fatigue? It's summer after all, shouldn't that give me more energy? Oh well, soon thee secret will be out and I won't look like I've given up on life! ha! It probably doesn't help that I don't feel the need to fix my hair, wear makeup, or dress cute in the summer, which has me sliding further downhill. :) James thinks I'm crazy to think all of this, but I am sure the thought, "Boy, she sure is letting herself go!" has entered at least one person's mind between May and now!

10 Weeks : Two and a half months

I'd like to say this has been a miraculous week of health, but it hasn't. In fact, I haven't been feeling any better--still queasy and nauseous, napping as often as time will allow. My food choices seem limited, and I do not want to eat a thing after about 5:00. Though that hasn't prevented weight gain, somehow!

I spent time this week creating the "Surprise, We're Pregnant!" video we are going to show our parents soon, guised as a home improvement slideshow. I hope they will be surprised indeed! Not surprisingly, I am not 'showing' yet, just looking a little more plump. :)

9th week: Baby Mildren's First Picture

This week, James and I got our first peek at Baby Mildren! We had our first sonogram, and I have to say, I'm already a proud mama! Baby Mildren is right on track with everything looking great, including the heartbeat (177 beats per minute strong) and the bit o' leg we could make out on the imaging. Very cool! We're both thrilled that there was only ONE child inside of me, no twins, please! I hear they can be kind of ornery. ;)

8th Week Ain't a Great Week

Sadly, the nausea and fatigue continue, with sleeping being my number one priority. Poor James, where did his fun-loving wife who could stay up until 9:00 pm go?! :) I wish there was more to report, but basically when all you do is sleep and think about sleep, it hasn't left much room for anything else...

I was so out of it this week I didn't even get a picture! Sorry, all.
