Ten Weeks

Originally written 5/26


Today is 10 weeks little biscuit.  You’re the size of a kumquat this week and apparently my uterus is now the size of a grapefruit (I love the fruit and vegetable references).  The last few weeks have been busy.  You made your first trip to Eleuthera, even if it was in uetero.  We had a relaxing time (though your dad worked a lot) and I got to rest.  That’s about the only pregnancy symptom that I’ve had.....I am really tired.  I think you’re sapping all the energy out of me.  Some days I can go strong all day and others I need at least 1 nap.  But, I have been lucky with very little nausea and no throwing up.  I learned that it must run in the family because your grandma and great-grandma weren’t sick while pregnant either. 
We had our first doctor appointment after the Bahamas trip.  We got to see you and your little heart beat on screen.  It was an exciting moment and your daddy definitely treasured it.  He’s so excited!  He scanned your picture and has shared it with family!  After seeing the heartbeat, we decided to start telling the rest of our family.  Your aunts and uncle are very excited as are your great-grandparents.  More friends are finding out and its really starting to sink in.  In a couple weeks we’ll be out of the first trimester and I think then I will get really excited and ready to start prepping for your arrival!  Can’t wait to meet you little one!
