9weeks, 6days... and for fun, 10 squares of toilet paper around the belly!
At mom's for the weekend. Before I left the city, I picked up a bunch of little treat bags that said things like "For a special uncle/aunt" and "Goodies for Grandma/grandpa". Everyone was thrilled. All except mom got it immediately. mom said she thought I was re-using gift bags from the first pregnancy. The she asked if I really lost the first one. Then it sunk in that it was real and that she would be a grandmother.
Then she said that her boyfriend would probably break up with her since he didn't/doesn't date grandmothers. Oh well - she's still pretty excited!
Jay and I went shopping for maternity pants earlier this weel. I got 3 pairs and they're very comfortable. I've really popped out a lot - probably sinc eI'm able to eat more since the vomiting has subsided a bit. I still get nauseous, but seem to be able to control it with food.
So far, mom has only told a few people - Cousin C being one of them and she called a little while ago saying that Aunt I and her gang were stopping by and could she tell them my news? I said yes, though it would be nice to tell them myself, but at the same time, she has such a huge brood of kids that it would probably be overwhelming. But now she'll probably stop into mom's (with the brood :P) It's neat - I'm liking this part of the pregnancy!
It's so HOT at mom's. There's a snow storm outside, it's very cold out, but I'm sitting in front of an open window. All the heat is on - mom can't control it. Last night I got up and slept on the couch because it was so hot in my room I was afraid it might cook the baby.
Fun!
So we're leaving soon to go Frenchy's shopping. Mom wants to buy me some maternity stuff. We'll leave for the city around 3. Probably stop to visit grandmere on the way - I haven't seen her in months! Should be an interesting drive in the snow. Hopefully the highways are clear.

Ultrasound!
Going for our first ultrasound this morning. We're leaving in a few minutes. Can't wait! We'll be able to see our little bean somewhat, and the heartbeat. I'm 9 weeks today, so it might be a bit early to actually hear the heartbeat, but I'm hoping to!
Working my way through 24oz of water, thankfully I've already thrown up this morning, or it might not be going down as well.
UPDATE:
Saw the baby, saw the heartbeat. VERY cool. It made everything so real. It was amazing what they could see. She started first by locating and measuring my ovaries. It seems that my left is slightly larger than the right, but the tech didn't comment or seem concerned. We could definitely see the baby, it sort of resembled a turtle. A little head-like appendage with 4 little stumpy appendages coming out. And a fluttering heartbeat.
They don't measure the heart rate until we can actually hear the heartbeat and that won't be until 12 weeks (at my next pre-natal on March 10.)
Managed to get my appointments rescheduled last week - moved the ultrasound to today and the prenatal got pushed back by 15 minutes. That was rather uneventful. She took my medical history - it all gets consolidated onto one form. She took my blood pressure, which was great, and weighed me. (138lbs)
Earlier in the week, I went to see my naturopath. She also did my blood pressure and got me to pee in a cup so she could test for proteins, blood & sugar. Which all came back normal.
Wow - we're going to have a bay, we're going to be somebody's parents!!!

Still preggers
8 weeks today. Nausea turned into full-fledged morning sickness about a week and a half ago - throwing up every morning (like clockwork, between 9-10!)
Have a prenatal and an ultrasound scheduled fro Friday, both at the same time on different sides of the city, so one needs to be rescheduled and no one is returning my calls! Quite frustrating. Hopefully someone will get back to me soon as this is quite ridiculous.
We're telling a few people now, just friends, though. We'll tell family in another 2-3 weeks... seems odd to tell some friends first, but we see our friends more often than family, so it's sort of like telling family, I guess.
My stomach is being fussy. I've been surviving on bread, yogurt, cheese & grapes for several weeks now. I gotta get real food in me soon!
My belly, just above the pubic bone is starting to get really hard. MY uterus is the size of a softball now - not a huge growth, since pre-preg size it's like a closed fist.
Still pretty cool!
