Where's the pictures?

We want to see pictures of your progress. No pictures of morning sickness, please!

Well, luckily I haven't been feeling nausea. I do feel pain though, but I would take this pain over nausea any day. Whenever I try to bend at my waist, it feels like there is a brick in the way. So I get a sharp pain everytime I bend. It feels like my stomach is now a hard mass. I told David that if I find out on Monday that I'm not really pregnant, he'll have to send me to a pyschiatrist since in my head my body does feel different. I bought some maternity clothes today because I found some on sale at JcPenney. I really like the black dress with a tie. Seems like it will fit me from now until the day I deliver. I don't need shirts yet, but since they were on sale, I went ahead and splurged on myself for once. Congratulations are coming in from all over the country. It's a very exciting time!

Told My Boss Today

Today at lunch we actually added some items to the registry. It was overwhelming to walk into the Babies-R-Us and see all the items you need for something so small. Then back at work, I finally told my boss. Poor thing. To think my co-worker is only one month ahead of me and she is having twins. I think he was a bit overwhelmed to have 2 out of his 11 employees out on maternity leave. That's 18% of his staff :) He was geniunely happy for both of us. I made a deal with him that I would try to put in a few hours a day when I was on leave if he would extend my leave by that many hours. He said it was a good idea and that we'd talk about it more down the road. I pointed out to him that I would be on leave during the year end, which is a rough time for our company, so he seemed satisfied that I was willing to be a team player. I'm still feeling great and actually got my wedding rings on this morning :)

Registries

Today we set up registries at Target and Babies-r-us. Of course there's nothing selected yet because I have no idea where to even start, but we'll get there. Too bad we won't know the gender for 4 more months, that would make it so much easier to decide on a theme. Of course you all know it will be a Superman theme if it's a boy. David wants a boy, of course, and I really don't care either way. Maybe it will even be a supergirl theme if it's a girl, though I'm not even sure if they have that theme available. Maybe we'll just have no theme and make it easy :) I still feel great with no symptoms so far (everyone knock on wood as they read this). I think I've told just about everyone with the exception of most of my co-workers (3 of them know).

Made the First Appointment!

Last night was the best sleep I have ever had. I think I actually slept through the entire night, and I haven't done that in years. But....then I woke up this morning and couldn't even get my wedding rings on. I guess I'm already getting a head start at gaining weight. So, I just put my larger CTR ring on my left hand and headed off to work. I went to Target at lunch to try to find some maternity clothes since mine are already tight (probably can't blame that on the pregnancy just yet though, unless I'm carrying multiples). Then I made my first appointment for the baby. I have an appointment on Monday, March 26th at 12:45 with Dr. Leigh White to confirm my pregnancy and discuss prenatal care.
