Where have I been?!

I mean I’m alive. 

I work, try to workout, and sleep.  I also will wake up for food when my husband brings it to me in bed. But please don’t ask me to get out of bed.

I haven’t been consistent about taking belly pictures but here is one from today, 8 weeks 5 days! 

The button on my pants is making me look bigger than I actually am…although I can assure you that I have some serious bloat happening and my belly is no longer flat. But I’ll take it! I’ve been waiting years for this, it makes me ecstatic.

 

 

Ben and I did get to see our little Bear yesterday morning, and we saw its little paddles for arms and legs moving all over the freaking place! I already know this baby is going to love to dance. And its heartbeat was going strong at 175!  Thankfully the babe is not really making me sick at all, a little nausea, but otherwise it’s just sucking the energy right out of me.

 

Ben leaves for Oregon on Friday morning so I’m very excited to have the bed all to myself and to get lots of uninterrupted sleep.  I know he’s quite worried to leave me, but I’ll be OK. He’s terrified he’ll leave and something will go wrong but I just told him to call and check in on me and to have fun.

I hope everyone is having a good week. Pictures to come soon of our broken sink faucet, the lemon meringue pie Ben insisted HAD to be made on Sunday, and my latest shopping splurge:)
