11 Weeks (well, tomorrow...)

And I'm over 25% done with pregnancy!  This ultrasound was taken at 9.5 weeks and it's somewhere between the size of an olive and a plum.  It's little arm buds are so cute!  Doc said everything looks good so far and gave me a prescription for Zofran to help with the nausea.  That stuff is great!

Over the past week I've felt a lot better.  No throwing up and nausea only once in a while.  Between weeks 5-10 the stomach pain was just unbearable and that has subsided as well.  I've lost 5 pounds but in the past week have been eating a lot.  I'm even up in the middle of the night scarfing something down!  

This is from a few weeks ago, but if this doesn't say "pregnant lady", I don't know what does!

I'm tolerating more variety of foods than this now which is great, because I am really getting sick of cereal and hate drinking milk.  I even ate 2 salads and am drinking lots of water!  Felt great.  I'm also able to cook a little but nothing fancy.  Jake's happy about this because nightly cooking is not his usual routine.

In preparation of the little one, we bought a new car, a Volkswagen Diesel Wagon.  It's for safety!  We sold the clunky old Volvo to a friend so at least we don't have to deal with finding a buyer for that thing.  I also just got a new windshield on the Prius because a little crack that was there for years suddenly spread.   Turnip doesn't like the new car too much because the seats are vinyl and she just slips and slides around in the back.  Poor thing holding on for dear life!  I guess the Prius will be the Turnip and work mobile. 

Jake has been in a nesting mood and trying to get me to live like a real adult (read: stop living like a slob!).  We had to get rid of our weekly housekeeper so now we have to figure out how to clean this place.  (I haven't mopped a floor in almost 2 years!)  I however, am not nesting and wanting to sleep all the time when I'm not working.  Growing a baby is more exhausting than it looks......

In two weeks we'll be in Sacramento for Jen's wedding.  I'm a bridesmaid for the first time ever.  Got the dress, wedding present and will be heading towards the salon a few days before the big day.  Looking forward to meeting Jen's friends and Jake will be meeting Lance for the first time.    Here's the wedding website for some cute photos of the happy couple!
