11 Weeks

I know my titles are getting very boring, but I feel like that's how I'm living my life right now...week by week. I'll be a little relieved when I'm through the first trimester and I can stop worrying about miscarrying. (Not that I'm worrying all the time, but I guess it's always in the back of my head.)

This past week I've been feeling much better. I'm not nearly as tired, and I've been able to get through whole days without napping. I went for my first run in about a month this evening, and it felt great to sweat again. The nausea is also much less noticeable. My second doctor's visit went well, and the ultrasound showed the baby moving around. Jeff went along this time and I think he's actually starting to get a little excited.

On a non-pregnancy note, we had Steph's bridal shower today and the boys are at Dan's bachelor party. The wedding is four weeks from today. I hope my dress still fits me then!

10 Weeks

Ten weeks into things now, and I'm still feeling pretty much the same. I'm tired and a little queasy sometimes, but supposedly those symptoms should start to disappear within a few weeks. All of my pants still fit me, but I'm not sure how long that's going to last. I don't think I'm eating more calories, but I am eating more often. I'm also very thirsty all the time, and I have to pee a lot. I can't believe how many strange ways pregnancy affects your body.

Today is Tuesday, which means Jeff is at band practice. It also means it's girls' night out. Paula, Danielle and I are headed to the Station to talk, laugh and eat. These Tuesday nights are priceless to me, and I hope they continue for a long time. (Maybe even after Baby Einstein is born!)

9 Weeks Along

I’m about 9 weeks into things now, and I think I’ve figured out how to avoid the nausea…just keep eating all day. My theory seems to working, and although I’m still very tired, I haven’t been feeling sick. As far as first trimester pregnancy symptoms go, I really lucked out. I just hope that I get the extra energy I’m supposed in the second trimester. I’d like to get back on my running schedule.

Our neighbors gave us our first baby gift – a cute little yellow outfit and a pacifier. It’s so weird to think that in about 7 months I’m going to be a Mom. I went to Hershey this past weekend with Marilyn. We visited with Jill, Little Thad and Cianna, which was quite entertaining. I got a good dose of what to expect with babies in the house.
