Week 9

And so it begins. My boobs are definitely growing. <Sigh> I am one of those who actually like my little boobs. But fair thee well for a while. When I see you again, you'll be saggier still... :) The realities of pregnancy and nursing...
We are going to go to Fairbanks this weekend with our really good friends to celebrate our anniversaries. We are going to stay Friday night and go out and eat delicious foods and drink some delightful drinks. Of course I will be limited to small sips here and there and in the course of the evening I am sure we will be telling them about bean #2.
Fun fact about this couple, we were all in each others weddings and my husband and Steven grew up together. Another fun fact, they were pregnant with their first at our wedding.
Anyway, I am REALLY looking forward to it and I am going to take some Benadryl with me to ensure I sleep and sleep and sleep. I don't remember the last time I slept longer then eight. And usually it's around seven when I wake up.
Anyway, as far as the pregnancy goes, all this continue on. I am still tired. But I actually don't feel nearly as yucky as I was for a while there. I have one kind of food aversion. I'm not to fond of popcorn right now. WEIRD! I usually live on the stuff. Literally could eat bowl after bowl of the stuff all summer long. We have an air popper and use olive oil and then Kernal's White Chedder popcorn seasoning and usually it's to die for to my belly. Not so anymore. Oh well. It's probably just as well.
I think I am actually starting to show a bit and unfortunately, that means I might need to announce sooner. But maybe I'll just ignore it and pretend everything is normal. :)
I weighed myself on Sunday and I have now gained a total of 4lbs. Yuck. Oh well. I was hoping to not go over five for the first tri, but I don't think that is going to happen.
It's been a pain trying to journal all the food on myplate, and I keep not, and then re-resolving and start again.
I ran eight miles on Sunday and that was a break through too, as I haven't done more then six in several weeks. I did five on the treadmill then couldn't stand it anymore and went out into the hurricane winds and finished up. I am going to miss running outside SO much once winter truly hits.

OK, so here is the weekly updates.

Baby the size of a grape. And looking kind of like this:

And here I be. I did two because I wanted to demonstrate the difference when I am sucking in and when, not so much...

And finally measurements. I am going to try to get these into a table of some kind that I can easily fill in, but haven't had the time to do it yet.

Chest: 35"  True Waist: 29.5 Below belly button: 32.25 Hips: 39.75 (wow, last week it was 39...so depressing..... ) Thigh: 21.5 Bicep: 11

And there we have it. All of a sudden I seem to be blossoming... hmmm. Yes I really do want to be pregnant... I just want to keep my butt small.... Oh well.
