9 almost 10 weeks...

Today I am 9 weeks 6 days and still in complete shock!
My clothes are getting a little to tight on me so I had to cave in and start buying maternity clothes.
I didn't want to buy them this early but I had no choice.
I tried wearing a belly band but it wasn't cutting it.
I've had no morning sickness...knock on wood! It's still early.
I've only had some nausea, really bad dizzyness, some headaches and that's about it.
I've been keeping a journal at home and documenting everything as I go along because I'm not share if I will be able to do this again. I've also been trying to do weekly belly shots but with all the people in my house I feel uncomfortable so I've been slacking. I need to stick with this as I bought a template to make my own weekly book up until I give birth.
I went for an ultrasound about 3 weeks ago and go to listen to the heartbeat for the first time and it was amazing. I cried listening to it. I go back tomorrow for another one and this time Kevin gets to come with me so that will be nice. Since he wasn't at the first appt with me I recorded it but listening to it in person is so much different than listening to a recording. Dr said I'm measuring well and actually more than what they thought so with how much the baby has grown my due date is now Jan 12 but the dr said it didn't matter so their keeping it at Jan 17.
I've been thinking and I know closer to the date I'll know more information but I hope to start taking off work starting Jan 1st and taking at least 12 weeks off. But depending on if I go into labor early or not. Which by the way scares the crap out of me.
I watched my sister give birth and that was so traumatizing not sure if I'll be able to do it. Lol.
I will update again in about a week until then have a great weekend everyone!
