Lots of new!

Well, there are a few new developments...I am starting to get a little hard pouch in my lower abdomen that I can't suck in anymore. Only I can notice it at this point because it's still pretty early in the pregnancy. Thanksgiving was amazing! I loved being in Florida with my family. Such a blessing! Then Paul took me shopping on black friday. He bought me some maternity clothes and a belly band since I'm in between pre pregnancy pants and maternity pants now. I have some maternity tops that are loose and flowy (for now)...room to grow. I am just getting sooo excited about this pregnancy and our Baby A. We have our names picked out and most people know of them by now. That's why our baby is Baby A, no matter whether a girl or boy: we have picked out "A" names. Oh! A new thing: My little one is now a "fetus" in medical terms. How cool. No longer an embryo. I am just so blessed by this baby already. I am 9.5 weeks and no longer sick. I have my energy back. And I am really enjoying the pregnancy now. I never got REALLY sick, luckily. Just nauseous at time. Not too much throwing up. Baby A has been treating me pretty well. I just have some stretching and cramping that can be painful at times. That's expected. My next appointment is December 8th. I am not sure if I will get another ultrasound (sonogram) or not at this one. But if I get one at my January appointment, we *should* be able to find to find out the sex. I will be far enough along at that point. That is, if Baby A doesn't have its legs crossed or anything. I will say I have a "feeling" that it's a boy..with certain old wives' tales. I would prefer a girl first, and I could be totally wrong. But I am getting waaaaay excited about either sex, boy or girl. EEEEKKKK!

Anyways, next weekend Paul and I are decorating for Christmas. So much fun :-) Getting our first real tree together. Yay!
