little baby walker

our first appointment was a little overwhelming, to say the least, but it all turned around when we got to see our little one. i expected to see a blob on the ultrasound, honestly, but this little creature was flailing it's arms like it knew there was an audience.

how far along?  9 weeks
total weight gain:  about 2 pounds? 
maternity clothes?  not yet, although i have some on deck, thanks to maria
sleep?  interrupted by the almost-nightly pee break. ahhh, naps are nice.
stretch marks?  nope
best moment this week:  starting to share the news and seeing reactions 
miss anything?  an occasional, tasty cold brew
movement:  none
food cravings:  ice cream & sweets, but i wouldn't say that's different than any other time  :)
anything making you queasy or sick?  the only thing i've found so far that has given me terrible heartburn was a big ol' plate of nachos!
gender:  give it some time... we'll find out
pregnancy symptoms:  general nausea here and there, but no major morning sickness
have you started to show yet?  there's a bit of a tummy developing, but it also feels like i just look bloated or had too much uh, ice cream 
wedding rings, on or off?  on
happy or moody most of the time?  according to husband, 'same as it ever was'. happy!
looking forward to:  family and friends reaction to the news

on a side note, we've already started stocking up on a few goodies. thanks to a friend (who doesn't know i'm pregnant yet) posting to another friend on fb, i learned that august is national breastfeeding month and scored a free (except for shipping) baby sling from Seven Everyday Slings and nursing pillow from Nursing Pillow. i was pretty pleased with that little find - they should be here this week. i also purchased a boon lawn countertop drying rack, which i love... and have purchased more than one in the past for baby showers i've attended. my turn!
