Baby: Prune size? Really?

Could they not have found another fruit/vegetable or something instead of a prune?! They are just gross. As Eric liked to comment about that..."So this is the start of GAS week then huh?" Oh geez!
I am going to try to blog about the baby's progress each week and any appointments that I have and what those results are and anything funny going on! So hold on to your hats! I won't hold back!
My next doctor's appt is in 2 1/2 weeks for the 12 week appt. I am not sure if we get to hear the hearbeat at that one or not. We have already seen it "flutter" on the screen back at our 6 week ultrasound so that was kind of neat. Can't wait to HEAR it though!!
I think I have gained around 4lbs in 10 weeks. Doctor said that is normal, so that is good. I am finding it tough to exercise every day with my busy schedule but I am doing pretty good...about every other day either walking or biking. Then to add to not exercising, it seems like the foods I want to eat are full of carbs! Pasta! Pizza! Oh great now I am getting hungry and it is only 9:30, but that means it is close to my 1st lunch. Yep, that is right. Eric makes fun of me but I find that I don't feel any nausea if I eat every 2-3 hours. So, I eat breakfast at like 7:00am, 1st lunch at 10:00am, 2nd lunch at 12:30pm, 1st snack at 2:30pm, 1st supper at 5:30pm, and 2nd supper at 7:30pm. And he has refused to cook for "pregnant Rose" because I change my mind too much!
Back to how I have been feeling. I haven't really felt too bad at all. So, I feel pretty lucky with that. There are some days when it is super hot outside when I am shooting that the nausea kind of kicks in. Especially back on the Rottinghaus wedding in July, that was fun! Ha! I feel the lovely ligaments stretching if I haven't drank enough water or again if it is super hot. So I try to keep drinking lots of water. I have finally stopped buying bottled water and I am drinking our well water. I was paranoid that there were things in the water that be bad for the baby so I refused to drink the well water. My doctor said that it was probably fine, and if there was iron in it...well I could always use more iron when pregnant! I haven't had any cold meat (boy do I miss sub sandwiches and Jimmy Johns *sigh*) and I haven't had a hotdog or brat (again *sigh*) but tonight I am eating a brat. As long as it is steamy hot it should be just fine! I need to stop worrying so much!! As my mom said, back in their days they didn't have all these warnings and we all came out just fine!
Ok, well this was a long post! Hope you enjoyed it. I should probably do some work now!
Till next time...
