This is going to be a big baby!

I am 9 weeks and 3 days along and I ALREADY can't fit into any of my clothes! I have no idea if this is normal or not, but I've heard that most people don't start showing until the end of their first trimester or early in their second trimester. If I already can't fit into my clothes, I know that I'm going to start showing really soon! I actually went out yesterday and bought bigger clothes for work (I am up two sizes!!!) and some maternity clothes as well. Whoever invented maternity clothes was a genius! It's so much more comfortable than my other stuff! I can actually breathe now. Some of it is big, but I figure that the way I am going, it'll fit by next week. :) It's crazy how much bigger I've gotten in a week. This past week, I could barely even fit into clothes that I wore the week before! I'll say it again, this is going to be a huge kid!

My lab results came back last week and everything checked out okay. I was really nervous when they called because I read in the handbook they gave me that they only call when something is wrong and when everything is okay, they'll just talk about the results at the next appointment. Yay!

We've told a couple of people already (certainly not everyone just yet, of course) and it's so much fun seeing/hearing their reactions. I know this is horrible to say, but I think some people have been more excited than me and Steven were when we found out! I think we were just more stunned than anything else. ;) It's still really fun getting to tell people. I'm trying to drag it out as long as possible. I'll be in Houston for a week and a half starting next week, so I'll get to tell more people then. Yay! I like spreading it out a bit because it's so much fun telling people. It's like being engaged all over again!

They've started framing the second floor of the house, I can't wait to move in! We finished picking out our lighting this past weekend, we just have wiring left. They need to call us back! Hopefully we'll still be able to move in on time, just four more months left. I can't wait to see everything to come together! House pictures!!!

We got the new Pottery Barn Kids catalogue in the mail today (thank you Aimee!) and we picked out bedding. Let me know what you think. It's the Twinkle Twinkle Nursery bedding. I think it would be good for a boy or a girl.

We also checked out USA Baby this past weekend. I picked out a crib with the help of Baby Bargains and they were selling it at USA Baby. The brand is Munire. I really like the Newport collection, but I'm not sure if that's the crib we saw. But, I found the cutest onesies! One said "My Dad is a Geek" and the other said "Honey Bunny." They were both so perfect (but expensive)! I always tease Steven about being a geek and I like to call him honey and/or bunny. Hehe...maybe I can splurge a little bit!

Now we get to the fun stuff...pregnancy symptoms! Apparently I've past the peak of the worst of my mornindg sickness. I really think it's getting better, but then again I am much better about eating more frequently. What really bothers me is my heightened gag reflex. When I gag, it really upsets my stomach. Luckily I haven't had any actual vomitting. Another thing that had really gotten me is the being so tired all of the time. I try to avoid working by myself because it just makes me sleepier! It really doesn't help that I waske up at 3:30/4:00 AM every morning to go to the bathroom and can't fall asleep afterwards. It takes between one to two hours for me to fall asleep again. I've read that it's okay to take any type of Tylenol, including PM. Wouldn't it be great if I got addicted to sleeping aids? Me not being able to sleep, imagine that! Posted by Picasa
