Nine Weeks

[Written 10/19/11]

My parents are here this week and it is so hard not to tell them that Michael and I are expecting, but I know that we decided not to announce the pregnancy for a few more weeks. It is so nice to have some family here and I'm going to be super bummed when they leave. I keep trying to convince them to come back one more time before we move, but they keep saying that they can't. I have a feeling that at least my mother will have a change of heart once the little one arrives.

Michael is convinced that my mother is going to figure out that I'm pregnant by the end of the week. We'll see, I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far, unless she notices my weird eating habits and that I'm also getting "car sick" when I'm not in the car. In fact, I was feeling particularly nauseous  when we went to the beach and had to sit down for a little while. I was able to convince them to keep on looking for shark teeth, though (thank goodness, getting in a car is the last thing you want to do when you feel like you're going to throw up):

Less than a week until my first appointment at the OB/GYN clinic, I don't think I'll be meeting my provider at it, I'll just be meeting with a nurse, have a dating ultrasound done, and all the lab work, of course.

This week Baby Wiggles is considered a fetus, instead of an embryo, but I'm still sticking with baby. Haha. Here is The Bump's picture for this week:

Our little olive is nearly an inch long now!
