9-10 week Update

The last couple weeks I have really started to "feel" pregnant. I have nausea that comes and goes, especially when I get too hungry or often after I eat. I throw up no more than once a day if at all so that's not too bad. During my 6-8th week my appetite was pretty bad, I just couldn't think of anything that sounded good to eat. But now my appetite is much better and I can eat almost anything and I hold most of it down. The smells are what really get to me now....just smelling something can make me nauseous. I wake up a few times every night so sleep isn't great, but additionally I feel exhausted, as in I feel like I got hit by a truck, a lot of the time. This is especially in the evening after work. My belly has grown a little bit lately which is fun to see. We are getting more and more excited as the pregnancy moves along and reality sets in that we are going to have a baby!

I have to say, Nick has been the best supporter during my nauseous and tired times. He takes great care of me. He has been making almost every meal we have, doing dishes, cleaning the house, and even holding my hair when I do throw up. I couldn't be more thankful for him and his support.

We have started to talk a little bit about name ideas, labor classes, to have or not have an epidural, and about moving into a new place. We have some friends that may be renting their house out soon, so that would be our first choice if timing works out. We do know that we'd like to have another bedroom.

So, there's a little update on whats on our minds these days and how things are going. I will update again after our first pregnancy appointment (yay!) which is this Friday, Sept. 10th.
