Still no baby bump. But, I have gained 3 lbs that I didn't need to. Yup. No more pretzel sticks dipped in mayonnaise for me.
We went a baby store yesterday just for fun. When we pulled into the parking lot Evan parked in a Stork Parking spot for pregnant ladies. Oh my gosh, horrifying. I made a bee-line for the door as fast as possible. While there we picked up a book called the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. I read up through the second month. This morning Evan suggested we start reading it together so he will catch up in the reading and we'll do it together each night from there.
As of yesterday both of our parents now know the news. It was fun to tell them and hear the excitement in their voices. That just makes it even more exciting for us, and it feels even more real now, too. We don't plan to tell anyone else until after we hear the baby's heartbeat at our first appointment on December 7. Well, we did tell the clerk at the baby store yesterday. As she scanned the book at check-out she asked, "Is it you?" and I paused and said, "Ya." Oops. So it's the parents and the stranger at the store.
Luckily I'm still not feeling a ton of nausea. Just when I don't eat quickly enough. Yesterday we went out for lunch on the way to the baby store and I felt pukey in the car but I didn't actually puke. My symptoms are pretty manageable at this point. Just tired a lot and peeing a lot and the short time span between mild hunger and nausea.
According to the book, baby is now sprouting a nose, eyes, chin, ears, and cheeks. And, s/he has paddle-like hands and feet. Here's the picture from the book:
