Weeks 9-12

I cannot even believe I've made it to this point.  I am beyond excited and starting to feel slightly optimistic about actually having a child in 28 more weeks! The last month has been filled with major ups and downs.

Week 9 + 10:  Definitely feeling like crap.  Never did throw up but it sure would have helped. No major weight gain .  Still wearing regular pants but they are starting to feel a little snug.  Most days I felt crappy but some much better, and although this seems great, it was just time for me to freak out about maybe loosing the baby so I welcomed the bad days for sure.  I figured out I couldn't drink any water at night or in the morning without my stomach feeling nasty and I LOVE water so this was a problem.  Luckily I stocked up at night...but then I had to pee a bunch at night.   I guess the good and the bad go hand in hand.

Week 11 + 12: Starting to feel much better.  Still a nasty stomach feeling in the morning but getting up early to eat and then going back to bed for a nap has helped a bunch. I've been sleeping tons; about 12-13 hours a day so I can make it through the rest of the day.  I do rather sleep than feel sick though so not too bad.  This should pass soon, I can already feel it changing.  Definitely look like I have some kind of fat belly now.  I'm starting to be able to wear less and less pants comfortably.  Luckily my two favorite jeans still fit pretty well without much help. 

Yes...13 weeks...because I was too tired the rest of the month to take pictures. ;-)
