We're now about to end the 10th week of the pregnancy. My pants no longer fit or are uncomfortable for me to use. There is an obvious tummy now. Folks who haven't seen me in a couple of weeks are surprised of the size of my stomach. It's common to hear, "You look like you're in your 4th or 5th month....twins?" I honestly don't know, but this coming week we have a doctor's visit and I'm sure we will get a better idea. It is so exciting, strange and a natural feeling to see my stomach and body change so rapidly. My mind has to catch up to what is physically happening to me.
My symptoms? A couple of weeks ago a started gagging. I could be having a conversation and then an "episode." Mark was kind of concerned because it would sometimes come out of no where and quite frequently. I definitely know that if I don't eat when I get hungry the gagging starts. The nausea comes and goes but it is starting to taper off somewhat. Some days I feel great and others not so hot. I am finding myself with spurts of energy, which is nice to feel again. At night is when I usually feel the worst. I did throw up twice last week and thank goodness that's all it has been. It is still a bit odd to me that I may feel hungry and crave a particular food, but as soon as I start biting into it make me sick.
Mark and I have started to look into baby items. We now venture into the baby/kids floor to see what's out there. Who knew a mobil was $5o.00 and cribs can later become beds. I know we are such novices at this. I saw the cutest little bikini set for an infant. It was pink with brown poke-a-dots. It was maybe for a 6 month old. I showed it to Mark with all of my excitement, he closed his eye and shook his head. At least he didn't storm out of there.
Will we find out the sex of the baby? My initial thoughts have been no. I completely understand the practicality of knowing before hand, but it is my opinion that, this type of "surprise" does not happen often and it would be nice to do it the old fashion way. On the other hand, Mark would like to know. He said the doctor could slip him the envelope and I don't have to worry about finding out. I really don't think it's going to last too long. So the answer is yes, we'll find out the sex of the baby.
Until next time!

YAY!!! I'm so glad you are going to find out!!
You look great Momma!
And you know... any tips you want, I'll more than willingly provide - but I hate being the person who gives unsolicited advice, so you've got to ask. :) And no hurt feelings if you don't.
