TEN weeks! I feel like it's crazy how fast these last few weeks have gone. Every Sunday I get so pumped to hit a new week in my pregnancy. Everything with the baby and my body is changing so quickly and I love it. Well, I don't love that my jeans don't fit comfortably, or that my boobs are currently larger than my head, but I love knowing this little human inside of me is actually becoming a real baby. 

This past week we had to decide whether or not we wanted to do the first trimester screening. This is a blood test combined with an ultrasound that identifies the risk of a few chromosomal abnormalities such as Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18. Part of me was like, why stress about something you aren't able to change or prevent? But then the other part of me wants to stay educated and up-to-date on everything going on with the baby. So I scheduled the appointment for the middle of February and we will pray that everything goes well. 

In other news, this is the week when normal people start to show, so I'm pretty pumped to get to this point because I've been showing for like 4 weeks. I finally feel like my bump is because my uterus is actually getting bigger and the baby is becoming a human rather than an accumulation of all bloating and the puppy chow I've been eating. 

And so...my 10 week chalkboard...
