Into the Double Digits!

Good news we are officially one-fourth of the way to welcoming Baby Beyer into the world. It is crazy to think in a few short weeks I will be into my second trimester. One of the most exciting things that has happened since I hit 10 weeks is my digestive system getting closer to normal (you guessed it...I no longer have to be jealous when Joe goes to the bathroom)!

We have our second doctors appointment this Wed, March 2nd. Since it is the second check up and the doctor will only do some routine testing (blood pressure, weight, some blood work, etc.) my mom is going to go with me instead of Joe. He has graciously declined saying as long as he isn't missing an ultrasound there is probably no reason to see me put my legs in the stirrups again (since ultimately he will have several more opportunities in the coming months). I am excited to have my mom come and meet the doctor. About 2 weeks later we will have our third appointment at which time I will be between 12-13 weeks and we will have another ultrasound. We are very excited about this as it will be the first time we will be able to see the baby really developing.

We shared our good news with my best friend Jen and her fiance Cory on Friday. As several of you know I will be Jen's matron of honor less than 2 weeks after Baby Beyer arrives. Jen and Cory were both so excited (and quite caught off guard when we told them)! Jen and I both looked at each other in agreement that altering my dress to my stomach is most likely doable...altering to fit my boobs....well we will just have to deal with that when the time comes! Luckily I know an awesome seamstress.

My clothes are still fitting. I bought 2 belly bands in the event I awoke one more and was unable to zip my pants. At least for now it seems I am dodging the bullet...at least for a few more days. My goal continues to be work out as much as my body will allow (within reason of course). I am constantly reminded by my wonderful friend (and mommy to be) Erin that if my body does not feel up to it that rest is best. Erin, thank you for your words of encouragement and being my GURU of what to expect during pregnancy! I am glad I don't have to go through this alone.

I will post again after our appointment on Wednesday!
