10 weeks and house update!
I'm 10 weeks today!! Ten weeks sounds so much further along than 9. I think it's the double digits. :) This weekend I broke down and bought some maternity clothes. I didn't realize how fitted my clothes were before getting pregnant. Most of my shirts still fit but it just looks like I have a beer gut- not attractive! I bought a few loose fitting shirts and a pair of jeans. I'm pretty sure maternity jeans are the most comfortable thing ever. I don't know if you'll ever get me to wear pants that don't have an elastic waist band again. I can't wait to wear them. Since we are in the process of moving, I still don't have internet access from home (only work and my cell phone). As soon as we do, I will start uploading pictures.
Bad news on the house today. Our appraisal came in $6,500 short! Apparently a house just around the block sold in Aug/Sept for well under value because the owners needed to "unload" it. This could be good news if the current owners of our home will accept the appraised value. Unfortunately, we don't think that they have any equity in the home which means we would be counting on them having the cash to write a check out pf pocket for a significant amount of money. Fingers crossed!!!!

First Ultrasound!!
Yesterday has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Addam was off work (Veteran's Day) so I took a half day and moved my appointment up to the afternoon. After waiting what seemed like forever (really, it was an hour and a half!), the doctor finally came in and asked a few questions then said it was time for the ultrasound. He was able to find Baby Lewis pretty quickly. We got to see the flicker of the heartbeat!! Baby is measuring right on track and there's only one in there. :) Dr. also said that once you are this far along and see a strong heartbeat, the chances of miscarriage are very low. Wahoo!!
We got a great picture where you can actually see the head and little arm buds and it looks like a baby! If I can figure out how to scan it in, I'll post the picture. Don't ask Addam though, as the doctor was moving the wand, he thought it looked like a little shark. Due date is still set for June 21, 2010. Now we're excited to finish sharing our news with friends and extended family!

7 weeks+
Well, today I'm at 7 weeks 2 days. All the books say that the symptoms should be in full effect by now. I've been lucky so far. Other than some mild fatigue and feeling incredibly bloated, I have nothing else to show. Addam may comment on pregnancy hormones, but not very often if he knows what's good for him! :) No morning sickness yet! I'm really hoping to be part of the 25% that never gets it. Fingers crossed! Our next appointment is a week from today. I will feel so much better after we get to see the heartbeat!
Things are really coming along with the house. We have all the paperwork turned in to our lender and we've locked in our rate. Our house inspection is scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 am. We're hoping to be in the house before Thanksgiving but that will be cutting it close.
