10 weeks

  I am now at 10 weeks. This week, the baby started off the size of a kumquat. By Tuesday, it will be the size of a fig (not a dried one, a real one). So, 1 1/2 inches from head to bum. It now has arms and legs that can bend at the joints. I guess he/she is swimming and moving around all over the place.

  Last Sunday, Stefan and Rachael brought us back lots of baby stuff from Dad and Christina. We got a bouncy chair, a sweet little tent, a great basinet, a baby bjorn, high chairs, and my favorite.. The running stroller. I put the running stroller together and have it set up in the nursery. I think I am a little ahead of myself, but it was really exciting! 

  Mom has also found some cheap clearance maternity clothes for me at Kohls, so we are doing pretty well because of everyone else's generosity! 

  I am starting to feel a little better. I can eat solid foods in the mornings now, and sometimes I actually feel hungry! But, I still get nauseous driving. We went up to the Bergeland's cabin this weekend with Bruce (PopPops), Heido (Grams), Josh and Claire. Driving up the canyon to Estes did not make me feel good, so Bruce went out and got me some high quality ginger beer. That helped! We had a wonderful time relaxing, walking, playing horseshoes, and board games. I also caught up on some much needed sleep! This baby takes a lot out of me! 

  No need for maternity clothes yet. Still the same little bump. But, someday soon, my belly will pop out a little. (I hope!) A little over a week, and I will be in Trimester 2! 

  Not much else to report. I keep you updated on any new adventures that Ryan, Fred and I experience.
