Only 2 days until our 3rd ultrasound!

So far, I have no reason to believe things aren't progressing as they should, but of course, there is always that little feeling of fear in the back of my mind. I still feel nausea, but it is a little more intermittent now. I know the placenta will start taking over pretty soon, which usually leads to the end of the sickness. I never realized how much bloating a person can experience in early pregnancy. In the morning, my tummy looks pretty much normal, but by the end of the day you would swear I was 4 months along! Its actually kind of funny, but it does lead to not being very comfortable in my pants at times. I'm not ready to look for maternity pants by any means, but I do think I'm going to need to buy some pants with a drawstring waist in the near future.

I'm looking forward to being able to tell our families. I think I would have broken down and told them early this time as well, but its too fun to think about surprising them at Christmas with the news, so we've done well at keeping our secret.

Anyway, our 3rd ultrasound is scheduled for 9am on Tuesday. I should hopefully measure somewhere between 9 weeks 4 days and 10 weeks (my original dates and where I've been measuring so far). I'm sure I'll be a nervous wreck again that morning. She actually had to tell me to hold my breath when she was trying to measure the heartbeat last time because my breathing was so heavy she was having trouble keeping the ultrasound wand still enough. Oops!
