So, by the end of this week our secret will be out! Christmas cards (revealing the surprise) went out in the mail today! We wanted to wait until we were 12 weeks, but I am always a beginning of December Christmas card kind of gal. I tried to ignore them sitting there on the table, but it was driving me crazy, so I had to send them out! We're a week early, but the good news is in a few days everyone will be able to speak freely about the pregnancy (what a relief!).
More good news--I have never felt better! I am back to my old self and even went back to work today (part time). Work went great! The past couple of days I wake up feeling full of energy and my stomach is no longer doing cartwheels! I still need a lot of sleep (averaging 10 hours a night and if I don't get those hours I suffer from terrible headaches). As long as I give my body the rest it needs, I feel really well. I am hoping this means the worst is over (for now).
This past Saturday we started our maternity photos. For those of you who don't know, we found an amateur photographer in the area who would like to expand his portfolio by following a pregnancy from the beginning through the end. We allow him to use our photos and we get CD's of each session. We tried it out on Saturday for about an hour and had a lot of fun. I am not showing too much yet, but that is the point of photographing us each month (and more frequently the last couple of months). We've yet to receive copies of the photos, but when we do, I shall post them for all to see! We are very excited to have the opportunity to participate in recording our progress with photos. We both think it will be a wonderful keepsake.
10 more days until our next ultrasound, screenings and dr's appt. We're looking forward to seeing the baby again, especially since he/she will be bigger this time. Will post updates after. Stay tuned...
