9 Weeks

Still in the single digits, but I'm getting there. The most wonderful part about 9 weeks is this week we get to see the lil gummy bear! Tuesday can't come soon enough. I just pray everything is on track and that it goes smoothly. I really think (provided things go well) this will really make it more real for both of us, especially W.

Symptoms this week are maintaining steady - no new ones. I think the food cravings are getting moderately better. I'm not ragingly hunger at all hours of the day now -- just a few. I'm working on making better choices (as much as I can) because I'm afraid to gain a bajillion pounds.

At this stage, most of my close friends (including work friends) know. I can't be sure how many family members know since our parents have loose lips. The day after our u/s we're having a birthday dinner for my gram. I'm NOT hijacking the dinner, but I'll flash the sonogram pic to any of them who don't know already. The plan is to make it Facebook official the end of April when I'm 12 weeks. I'm completely nervous to make that step just in case something awful happens, but I can't live in fear this whole pregnancy, right?

I'm going shopping this weekend because my closet is the most frustrating thing in my life these days! I really thought many of my dresses would see me through the first half of pregnancy, but I underestimated the boob/ass gain. I'm not ready for maternity yet, but maybe I can find some roomier empire dresses to see me through. Wish me luck! And happy Friday!
