On the Home Stretch?

So it is to be said that all of this yuckiness is supposed to end miraculously one morning when I hit that 12 week mark. It is hard for me to believe that I will be gagging one day over the site of my deodorant, any food, or maybe just the thought of my perfume or any food and then BAM I wake up the next morning and the birds are singing and I feel great. I will believe it when it happens.

I think its safe to say that I am officially kind of showing ( I will post pictures some day soon)! I think I have been showing since you know like week 5 but finally everyone else is starting to realize it as well. I was over at my parents house and eveyone insisted on touching my pooch and saying how I was getting bigger. Its funny as a woman I have always grown up with a positive self image however I still would have taken it badly if someone would have told me I was packing on the pounds. Now its supposed to be this joyous great thing when someone tells me and I quote, "You're getting a little hippy." It is going to take me a little time to mentally adjust to saying,"Uh thanks?" when someone tells me my stomach is sticking out farther than my boobs.

Thank God for my husband! He has been away on business for about the past month or so, so he hasn't gotten to experience the "joys" of pregnancy until this past weekend. It was great to see the look on his face two hours after we woke up when I told him I was tired and needed a nap. Or when we had basically just finished eating and I told him I needed a snack so I didn't get nauseous again. The best was when last night I was putting away laundry and caught a glimpse of a stick of deodorant in his bathroom and started gagging. From the other room he told me to go to the bathroom and I just kind of chuckled. If I ran to the bathroom every time I gagged I would spend a majority of my time in there. He has been very supportive in getting my crazy random list from the grocery store first thing in the morning on Sunday and driving me to a couple gas stations until we find an Icee machine. Something about the cold kind of slushyness really tastes good to me right now. And if something tastes good let alone sounds good I jump on it and get it immediately. Foods that sound/taste good right now are few and far between.

We do to Dr. McCall on Wednesday for our first visit. This is when they will finally confirm the pregnancy, we get to hear the heartbeat, and they talk about our financial obligations. We are very excited to hear the heartbeat and have some realness to this very surreal experience.
