pregnancy week 10!

OMG still sick with a cold.  i feel better, but still have a scratchy throat and a stuffy or runny nose.  for the first time i am starting to feel pregnant.  of course i am tired, i fall asleep easily at night, which is unusual for me.  i have been going to bed shortly after bowie each night so around 8-8:30pm.  so lame, i know.  but it gets dark here early and it makes the nights feel much later than they are.  unfortunately i wish i could say that i am waking up early since i am getting enough sleep, but i am not!

this week i had a little bit of queasiness, nothing too bad and one night i even had acid reflux.  ohhh did that bring back bad memories of my terrible heart burn with bowie.  no cravings or aversions, although jarad sent me the menu for this peruvian chicken place in seattle and then i immediately started to crave my favorite place in LA, "chicken shack."  but then later that night i cooked chicken and got sick from the smell of it, so i got over it. no weight gain, and we are a quarter of the way cooked!  feeling bloated and getting a pooch.  luckily with winter time i can easily hide in large sweatshirts!

continuing to take my baby aspirin and progesterone and have another ultrasound on the 19th of this month.  then my parents arrive 2 days later for christmas, we will plan on telling them when they get here!  i am excited and nervous about this.  kinda worried my mom will freak out that i didn't tell her sooner, but i hope everyone understands how nervous we are this time around.  although this week within 2 days i had 3 people ask me if i am pregnant (my mom, my sister in law and my best friend).  i feel so uncomfortable lying to them, but again i hope they understand why we are choosing to wait.
