Pregnant or fat?

8:27 AM Posted In Edit This 1 Comment »
Yesterday I had my first stranger comment on my pregnancy! She said she thinks there is something in the water at Mudge, Porter because there are two of us that are pregnant and then she asked me when I was due. I've never seen her here before and I know she didn't overhear any pregnancy talk. She just noticed the other pregnant gal walk out the door and then saw me. That made me feel good because I’m starting to look more pregnant and not just fat. Haha. This is the in-between stage that I’m not so fond of. I’m sure there are lots of people wondering but don’t have the balls to ask – just in case I was just getting fat.

I have news...

Alright, so you want to know the real reason why I haven’t been blogging much? Well, it’s because… I’m pregnant! Yes – 9 weeks today. :) Phil and I are very excited! This will be our first baby and s/he is due September 23rd (one week after our first anniversary). Well, pretty close to that date. I haven’t been to the doctor yet so I don’t have a date from him but I’m assuming I’m right on or within a day or two. I guess lots of doctors don’t want to see you until you are about 10 weeks. So, I have an appointment scheduled at the end of the month and I’m very excited. The first few weeks of the pregnancy was easy-peasy but once I hit 6 ½ weeks I started to get morning sickness. Some days are worse than other and I feel nauseous all day long and others I feel ok with a little nausea on and off. Almost all food sounds gross so it’s really hard to find something to eat. I’ve come to realize that I need to eat before I even get out of bed, I need a snack about an hour later and I basically need to snack all day long. I can’t let myself get hungry or too full otherwise the nausea hits pretty bad. I cannot wait until this part is done! And I also can’t wait until food sounds good again. I used to love eating and now I hate hate hate it. I don’t even want ice cream. Crazy talk. So, there’s my news. :) Hopefully I’ll be blogging a bit more now that I can talk about what’s going on in my life. Here’s my 8 week belly picture. Not a very attractive picture but I’m already popped out a tiny bit!

Today marks 9 weeks so here is my 9 week picture too. Definitely popped out more since 8 weeks.
