Well, here they are!  Some current before and after pictures....the first one is the day after I found out I was pregnant and the second one is today (11 weeks and 3 days).  

I found this picture on the internet today and thought it was really neat! This is a 10 week fetus's feet! Obviously, probably not ACTUALLY a real fetus's feet, but you get the point. I will be 10 weeks in a few days, so it's neat to see this picture. They probably didn't show you the rest of the baby because it looks like an alien....haha! I have another doctor's appointment on Monday -- this one will give me a lot of information about upcoming appointments and I think we even get to tour the birthing suites...

Goodbye sickness, hello back pain!

Over the past few days, my nausea has gone down SO much.  It's hardly even there anymore.  On the other hand, my lower back has been KILLING me instead.  So I guess it's a trade-off.  But thanks to back rubs and comfy couches and Tylenol, I am dealing with it.  Being at work is the hardest, but the nurses try and help me out by bringing me pillows to prop up with during my case.  Derek has been great too -- taking over most of the cleaning and grocery shopping and general errand-running.  Today makes 9 weeks and he or she is over an inch long and weighs 4 grams according to what I am reading.  Derek got out our food scale and figured out that 4 grams is only as much as a nickel and penny, but it's still progress!  I've now had a few people at work tell me I am starting to look pregnant, which is kinda neat and kinda weird all at once.  

Smells...

So recently I have decided that certain smells really make me sick to my stomach. The biggest one (and most annoying) is leather. This is very unfortunate considering that our new living room furniture and my new car both have leather. Lying on the couch just makes me so nauseated! And I've been driving Derek's car for almost 2 weeks now. Ugh. Lately I've been just getting a pillow and blanket and laying on the floor at night to watch TV, or going down to the basement to sit on our non-leather couch and watch TV. I hope this goes away soon! Today makes 8 weeks and 3 days....just about a month left in the first trimester!
