Bump Check-In
Sorry, I kinda suck at remembering to do this on Mondays. I'll work on it, promise! How are you all doing this week?
We told my extended family yesterday. They are all very excited for us. As far as Drew's extended family, his grandma and one of his aunt and uncle know. I don't know if they've told anybody else, but telling all of them is going to be difficult for us. It might just have to spread my word of mouth.
I went in for some b/w today and I was supposed to have my 12 week u/s next week, but the RE is leaving for France later this week, so they moved it up to Thursday. Yay for seeing the baby sooner!
Other than that, nothing new to report. Still puking. No other real changes. I have been feeling some sharp pain down in my ovary type area and the nurse said it's ligament pain. Ouchie! It's not too awful, just sort of uncomfortable.

Re: Bump Check-In
Doing ok here. Went to see Mel's mom today and she said Natalie is growing well
Called the furniture store and scheduled our delivery date for the 24th!!!! I'm soo stinking excited.
Other than that I'm just sort of freaking out at the amount of travel Nick is going to have to do. I'm hoping Natalie listens to her mommy and doesn't appear before her EDD.
I am doing pretty good. A little sore and tired after a weekend back home and being out of routine. I get tired quickly but I am just a busybody and try to push through it to get done what I need to.
There is so much left to do before Pumpkin arrives and I am not a last minute person. Just a lot left with dealing with all the presents we got the past two weekends, organizing it all in his room, returning stuff, finishing up shopping and the other last minute stuff. Thanks goodness I have 3 days off a week but I could really use some help and Ben is swamped at work. He has worked over 90 hours overtime in the past 3 weeks, including this weekend and when he is at home he is exhausted and grumpy. This better let up soon!
I have my next appointment Thursday and then I am going weekly.

I've been feeling great. LO is moving around all of the time, although it's more of a squirming or rolling type of feeling. Rusty says he's felt it once or twice but it's so random when you can put your hand there and feel it, I wonder if he really has.
We went to Mississippi this past weekend and all of our family said I didn't look pregnant yet. It may have been what I was wearing. I can totally tell a change haha. I'm ready for a "real" belly so I'm not in that is she pregnant or chubby?" phase.
I go in a couple weeks for my glucose tolerance test...my glucola is chilling in the fridge as we speak (yuck).
Let's hope this "I feel great" stage lasts a while longer!
