Today I am 10 WEEKS PREGNANT!
Who knew? It's strange to think I'm growing a life inside of me and I don't have a big belly with a baby rolling around (yet) to prove it! I'm looking forward to the day I feel our sweet Baby move around in there.
I'm REALLY wanting another ultrasound to peek at our kiddo, but I don't think I'm going to have one until 20 weeks (boo!). The wait is difficult! Have I mentioned this?: I lack patience. It's a flaw. God has put me through some "waiting" before and it just eats at my soul.
It may sound silly, but I don't mind waiting to find out what gender our baby is. We are just looking forward to delivery day! But I do have my suspicions that it's a boy! I'm actually really convinced. There's no reason why I feel this way, I just felt like it from the MOMENT I peed on the pregnancy test. But Tim has no opinion... so I try not to call the baby "he." :)
My first appointment with my new OB will be in a little less than 2 weeks! I'm excited to hear the heartbeat again and just get this party started. Tim is pretty stinking amazing. He's so excited about growing our family and this little miracle we've got now. He can't wait to go to another appointment.
A couple of days ago I thought my nausea was gone. I told my mom it made me worried... NOPE nausea is no longer gone! I'm just happy to be reassured that I'm still growing this little kumquat, though :) Lots of barf/puke/gagging going on.
One of my sweet sister-in-laws (Asena) gave me some Ginger tea yesterday- boy does that help out! Especially with my evening nausea....
I'm also looking forward to going PART-TIME (woooooooohoooo!) the 3rd week of September. I've been trying to get this since the beginning of the year in hopes it would settle my stress a bit, and I am so thankful I'm in the home stretch of full time. Funds will be tight... but I trust that God will carry us through.

We got to visit with my sweet friend Katelyn and her hubby Brian last night. I'm so glad they moved to Portland :) We have blast with them.
Anyway, I'm off to do dishes and laundry. But who isn't, right? I know you're about to run a load as well :)
Cheers!
P.s. It's Melanie, Wordpress just is against me from commenting as myself. Psh.
ReplyDeleteI'm still jumping around doing a happy dance with you guys!
1) That verse made me tear up.
2) I totally lack patience too. The crazy part is I think this is the first time in my life I haven't felt the need to rush forward a ton (though waiting for the ultrasound was hard!). I'm just realizing how fast this is all going and how much we still need to do.
3) At least for me, my gut instinct was 100% right. :)
4) Part time?! YAY! I'm soooo excited for you!
