We celebrated 10 weeks of pregnancy by attending the church work bee and board meeting on Sunday. Hurray! Thankfully it was a cooler than normal day, and it was fun to be working outside with friends. Our pregnancy books now compare the size of the baby to a kumquat. We've never had one, but maybe I should try Whole Foods to find one? I think the baby is now considered a fetus, instead of just an embryo-yay! I think its going to start growing more quickly now, so I may need to rethink my pants situation :)
There is nothing much new on the symptom front, nausea still comes throughout the day and I'm still having some bleeding. I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, but my dreams are still very vivid and detailed. Sometimes they make me feel tired, or, if I wake up in the night, I don't want to go back to sleep because of the dreams!
Brandon will leave this weekend for Nigeria. It will be hard to be apart for two weeks, but I'm hoping it will go by quick! I get to go home for a few days while he's gone, so I'm really looking forward to seeing Mom, Dad and Ray and getting some relaxation! I have gained about 5lbs since finding out I was pregnant, so I think I am doing okay. I just need to work out a little more often to keep things on track! Hopefully I can do a lot of swimming while at home!
