I feel really good and my lower belly is starting to grow like right above my pubic bone, but I won't feel any movement for awhile. One of the books I am reading uses food to relate the size of the baby (rice, bean, cashew - this week a pitted prune - and starting next week, things are supposed to kick into overdrive and we go to a small apricot, then peach slice to mango, to pear, to banana if I remember the order correctly) which is so hilarious to me considering that we are both such foodies! So this week it's our little prune! I think this is the week the baby starts peeing. Isn't that funny? Amniotic fluid is just a bunch of baby pee (amongst a lot of other things). I guess it passes through the placenta and then my body has some way to rid itself of it. So I'm peeing for 2 also! I still sleep alot, but the nausea seems like it is pretty much over or so minimal (mostly in the middle of the night when I get up to go to the bathroom) it doesn't affect me (my mom said she never had any with my brother or myself). I'm not gaining weight, which is sort of freaking me out. We have our first ultrasound and the first of the triple-screening tests next Friday at Swedish in Seattle - I can't wait! This is just the coolest thing I have ever experienced in my life. 9 mos. sounds like a long time until you break it down to weeks (it's actually 40 - longer than 9 mos). I start my 11th week on Tuesday. So we have 38 weeks to get a kitchen completely remodeled and a porch built!
