Uneventful...good!

So, here we are, just about ten weeks pregnant! It's truly amazing how time flies. It feels like just yesterday I was getting that ultrasound at six weeks, and now it's four weeks later. Things have been pretty uneventful. I started getting a little morning sickness around week seven, but has gotten a little better. The fatigue has been pretty rough...I sometimes try to decide if pregnancy fatigue compares to cancer fatigue. I'm still on the fence about that one.

I had another baby-mama doctor appointment last week. My doctor assures me that everything is going well and is normal. Phew! We tried to listen for a heartbeat, but it's still too early to hear one with the Doppler. We can do another ultrasound if I'm nervous, she told me, but I'm fine. We saw that tiny little heart going at it during the first ultrasound so I'm not worried at all. Besides, we're nearly out of the woods and into my second trimester. AMAZING!

John and I have been thinking a lot about how Bean is going to be (that's our little nickname.) :O) I definitely hope Bean has Daddy's health...God knows Bean doesn't want mine! I hope he or she has my passion, but not my stubbornness. I hope he or she has Daddy's hairless body. I hope that Bean gets our love for music and our excitement for life. I just can't wait to meet him or her! I can't wait to start shopping and putting things all together.

So, this Sunday is my very first Mother's Day! I'm beyond excited for this milestone. I've wanted to be a mommy for as long as I can remember, and I can't believe that time has come. I just can't wait to see Bean's little face...
