Just started my 10th week of pregnancy. We’re growing bones and cartilage this week….also the baby is now the size of a prune. That’s a big step up from a medium sized green olive.
The morning sickness is getting to be well…..freaking annoying. There’s no rhyme or reason. It chooses random days to rear it’s ugly head. For instance, the other morning I felt great and then I ate an egg and bacon bagel for breakfast. Which was very tastey by the way. Well, apparently the little nugget baby didn’t care for that delicous bagel and decided that we needed to get it out of our system IMMEDIATELY. Good times. I’m literally counting down the days until my 2nd trimester starts and the morning sickness ends!
This week I started noticing that people keep looking at my belly. I’ll be walking to the bathroom at work and all the people who know I’m pregnant look over and me and instead of looking me in the eye, (or checking out my rack like a normal person) their eyes go straight to my belly. If there was an actual baby bump there, I wouldn’t mind so much. But, it’s just gut at this point. So they all look, and I want to scream, “It’s not the baby, it’s the nachos I had for my second dinner last night!!!” But maybe that’s the hormones talking….
