We're Back

So sorry for not posting last week. We were in Texas, and I just never really found a free moment to sneak away to post.

We had a great week, ALOT of driving, but it was so much fun. We were able to spend time w/ some of Jeremy's relatives in Houston and then were off to Port Aransas (outside of Corpus Christi) for my friend's wedding. Both events were such a blast. I will try to post a couple pics from the wedding tomorrow or at least this week sometime.

So lately all I can think about is the little baby growing inside of me and hoping that all is okay. As my doctor's appointment tomorrow has inched closer I think I have become more and more scared and nervous. I am trying to remain positive and tell myself everything is going to be just fine, but it is so hard not to guard my heart just in case. I don't want to think negatively, but sometimes it is hard. I am praying so hard that everything tomorrow goes well and that the baby is doing fine in my tummy, so please pray a little for me too.

How I felt in week 9:

Physically:
1. I am still peeing constantly. We had to stop about every hour to hour and a half so I could pee. And even at stopping that many times, I had to start holding it after about a half hour after stops. I just couldn't pee enough. And it isn't like I always have so much to unload, sometimes it is just a couple drops, but it feels as if I am about to let out a downpour each time. I told someone yesterday it is almost like having a bladder infection with feeling like you need to pee constantly, but without the pain, which is a bonus I guess.
2. As of Saturday, I could tell that my nipples are bigger. Silly I know, but it is something that I have been looking for b/c the books said it would happen and it hadn't yet. I got out of the shower and was like "holy shit." I showed Jeremy b/c I was so excited and then he laughed. I even pulled up my shirt in the gas station bathroom yesterday just to get a second peek, they didn't seem as big yesterday, but hopefully they are.
3. I haven't really been sick at all. I think in the past week the only time I feel sick is when I have taken the vitamins, and that only lasts for a couple minutes.
4. I am constantly hungry!!! I do feel like I get full a lot faster though. Before I would finish the plate & stuff my face, but now it seems like I can only eat about half of what is on my plate.
5. Haven't really grow at all. I think in the past couple months I packed on a couple pounds, but I don't feel like I have got too much bigger at all. I want to get bigger so I feel more pregnant!
6. Yesterday & today I have had minor cramps. They haven't been frequent or painful, but every once in a while I feel a little cramp come & go & it makes me a bit nervous.

Mentally:
1. Not really good. I think about the pregnancy 85% of the day & am praying that everything is okay most of that time. I am just so hoping tomorrow goes well, and I am able to relax a little more. I also really hope I like the OB tomorrow & then I will cancel my other OB appointment.

So I am asking all of you that have kids (Martha) or that are pregnant, does this all seem normal. I know all pregnancies are different, but I need some input on what I have been feeling.

So sorry again for the bag posting this past week, but I hope I didn't lose anyone. Have a great day.
