Babymoon!

November 2-7, we'll be sailing to and from Cabo San Lucas.  Our last vacation without a baby!!!  Thanks for the surprise, Brent!

14 weeks

13 weeks DONE!

Can't believe the time is going so fast.  I woke up Saturday morning with a very different belly.  I've felt huge the past 7 weeks because of all the bloating I've been experiencing - but that made me look like I just ate Thanksgiving dinner.  Now I have a belly that has a firm bump on it.  It feels different too - when I lay on it or bend over to pick something up.  I can actually feel that there is a baby in there!  What a weird feeling...  I figured I would get my bump earlier than most people do since I'm so short.  It's exciting to actually be showing, but now I realize I have to tell everyone that I'm pregnant now!  One of my clients' parents gave me a funny look tonight and asked me if I had any children (I just started working with this family last week.)  He was looking at my belly as he asked so I told him "just the one on the way."  I'm not used to discussing anything about my self with my clients' families when I go in for the weekly meetings.  I figure if I'm charging them, I need to make all the conversation about their child!  Looks like I'll have to work it into the conversation at my other meetings this week.  As for my full-time job at the school, everyone has been awesome to me lately.  I haven't had to deal with any tantrums, poopy pants, or stubborn children that need to be physically moved from an area. 

In other non-baby related news... there's not much going on.  Brent and I went to our 2nd Sounders game of the season on Saturday (tied 0-0 with Chivas)- we have yet to go to a game where they win!  The rest of the weekend was spent to cleaning out our spare bedroom which will take the next 6 months to finish, for sure. 

12 weeks have gone by...

Whoohoo - we're past the 12 week mark.  I can only assume everything with baby is fine - how do people not go crazy in between ultrasounds??  We don't have another for 4 more weeks.  I was sick this past week - 4 of my coworkers have come down with swine flu and I had definitely had something viral - though not as bad as I thought swine flu would be.  So who knows.  I was sick for 3 days, had a fever (which freaked me out, but apparently never got high enough to hurt the baby), upset stomach, and the usual cold symptoms on top of that.  Maybe I had a mild case of the flu?  Anyway, I'm fine, I am assuming the baby is fine.  I never got dehydrated and my fever didn't reach over 100 degrees.  This did convince me to get my flu shot soon though!

Week 11 - letters to our baby

We wanted a creative way to keep a pregnancy journal as well as photos along the way.  We came up with doing a weekly photoshoot and journaling all in one, and printing a book of all the pages when our baby finally comes.  This one may or may not make it in the book - brent played photographer and I really didn't have the light set up right.  Also, I'm not really showing anything but bloatedness and I don't know that I want to have the memory of THAT!  But I think it's cute with the journal entry and I'm excited to add more pages to this book!
