9 Weeks 1 Day

Spoiled! We had our first visit with my regular OB yesterday. It was an OK appointment, but I certainly realized just how nice I had it when I was being seen by IRH. We didn't get to have an ultrasound or hear the baby's heartbeats, which was a let down. We go back in 4 weeks, at which we will get to hear them, but we don't get to see them again for another 11 weeks!! For someone coming from seeing them twice in 1 month- I'm going to be going through ultrasound withdrawal. I did get some blood (I say some- I think they drained my left arm) drawn and the doctor did a pelvic exam, which I thought was going to make me jump out of the room and start crying. I'm still having lower belly cramps, mostly because my right ovary is quite enlarged and my uterus is growing. All is good in there though and we continue to move along. :)

Over the weekend my belly decided not to be comfortable squeezing into pants anymore. I tried wearing jeans to work Friday and half way through the day I had to unbutton them so I could breath. I ended up getting a couple of Bella Bands from Target and I love 'em. I can now wear all of my pants in comfort, only thing is I am definitely starting to look pregnant. I've tried for now wearing long, thicker sweaters...but the cat will be out of the bag soon. Tonight we are going to the Keller family celebration of Caleb's birthday. I'm excited to tell the rest of the family our big news.

In other news, we got all of the cabinets painted and just the lower doors need to be put back on. I'll hopefully have a picture to share soon. We are very pleased with all of the work so far, and getting close to new counter top and sink time. Which is my big exciting project!! :)
