Just to warn you, there is a picture of my belly below so if you don't want to see it, don't scroll down.
I had friends over today and they kindly came and made me lunch (a spinach salad with chicken) and made gingerbread houses together that they had gotten from AC Moore for $6 a piece. I don't consider myself a very creative person but I was very proud of my creation that I made. I thought it looked cute. So now we have a christmas tree and gingerbread house in here and it really feels like Christmas now!
Cute right? It took a couple of hours but with friends and hot apple cider, it was quite fun!
He has been commenting that I am starting to expand in the belly region and I have been denying but I think this picture shows that I am growing a little bit. I am almost 10 weeks along now...
It is still pretty small and you can't tell but there is definitely a little bump there.
Friday, He and I went to the first ultrasound and got to see the little peanut. Amazing! I teared up when I saw the little heart beating. It is very sad to think that someone would want to abort something so precious. We don't know the sex of the baby yet and won't find out for another month probably but found out that I am farther along than initial predictions and my new due date is July 22nd. It was kind of funny because He and I went together and they tell you that you should drink 32 oz. of water an hour before coming in for the ultrasound so they can see the baby better. And of course, you can't go to the bathroom until after the ultrasound! Well, I knew I was gonna have a problem when I got out of the car. I felt sick from drinking all that water and tried walking very slowly up to the office door but to no avail...I threw up all over the sidewalk! Thankfully, even though I threw up some of the water I drank, I still had enough in me for them to see the baby so it all turned out okay. Hopefully, this morning sickness thing won't last for too much longer. It hasn't been too bad, just feeling tired and queesy for most of the day but at least I am not throwing up all the time.

cute Gingerbread house and tummy, Merry Christmas!
You do have a little baby bump! cute:) I love your gingerbread house too, great job. You are meticulously creative ;) Can't wait to see you... Do you want some early maternity cloths?
Cute gingerbread house, why do you think you are creative. Sorry to hear you are having issues with morning sickness. Hopefully it won't last much longer. Have a Merry Christmas
When you didn't blog for so long, I didn't check every day. Glad to hear from you and see your creation. It will be so glad to see everyone today. I think Sam and Julie will be a little overwhelmed with all of us. If the crowd grows too much more we might have to rent5 a hall!
