Week 10 - Random Thoughts

I am now 10 weeks and 5 days - I can't believe how fast it is going.  We just had our first prenatal appointment last week to get all of my blood work.  I have to say I am highly impressed with the practice we moved to.  There are four midwives and four doctors, I met two of the midwives so far and loved them both.  They were very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time with us making Mike and I feel very comfortable with our decision. 

I have been getting a couple questions so far - the do you have a bump and how are you feeling....

"Do you have a bump yet?"

Still no bump, just a slight little difference in my six pack  stomach (six pack was a joke by the way..).  In fact, I actually lost a few pounds but that was mostly from eating healthier than I have been and really keeping an eye on food intake (not in an eating less just eating the right foods - which is another post for another time) and well, let's face it, no alcohol.  As we all know after a few of those yummy 12% beers,  saying no to wings and pizza is much harder than when you are sober...actually, let's face it, a few of those beers there is no question regarding the wings and pizza.

The only difference in body at this point is maybe my boobs.  So yes, I finally have reached puberty at 37- woo I have some boobs!

I am sure my body will change soon, I am kind of excited for that...new shopping opportunity!!  I got some gift certificates to Destination Maternity and hello...new pair of Joe's or Seven's Maternity Skinny Jeans??  You know I have a shopping problem - makes me want to read Shopaholic & Baby again for a good laugh.

"How are you feeling?":

Depends on the day you ask me.

Monday - Friday (this past week) I FELT AWESOME - I had a great runs, bike, swims (see the plural swims) and some strength training.

Saturday - felt good in the morning, but it was my OFF day and had lots of good things happening like brunch with my girls and hanging with my sister and watching the trainwreck we call "Miss America,"

Sunday - slow - tired - exhausted which brings me to exactly how I felt for the past few weeks...so tired where your eyes close during the middle of the day...you can fall asleep standing up...and now back with my stuffed up nose...yeah...

I felt less nausea this week (yeah!) but the smell of Dunkin Donuts still makes me want to puke.

All in all, I feel very healthy, very happy, make that extremely happy, and blessed that this was able to happen.
