Week 9 and 10

I am 10wks 2 days today so I havent gotten very far into week 10 yet. Week 9 was the worst! I just slept through most of it. I was tired, nauseous and just felt icky. I feel bloated all the time even tho i can barely eat anything. I eat soup and I feel like I ate an entire buffet. But, an hour later I feel like I havent eaten in weeks and I need to eat NOW!

However, yesterday, 10 wks and 1 day, I started to get these tiny bursts of energy. I would run up and down the stairs like I had been given rocket fuel. But, they only last a few minutes before I am exhausted again. Today, I was able to clean the back yard, clean down stairs and open all of our mail before getting exhausted. That was a good 3 hours of work! I haven't been able to work like that for monhts. Now, however, I am supposed to be doing work notes and I am blogging because I need to take a nap after working all morning.

Friday, Dec 10, we had our 10 wk appt. Doc tried to hear the babies heart beat, but baby was hiding out. She said everything else looked good tho and cleared me to train for a 1/2 marathon in march, which i am stoked about. She said that it would be good for me and baby to get in really good shape anyway and would help me with my natural delivery plans. Blood was taken to check for whatever they check for. I go back in 2 weeks for an ultrasound and I should be able to hear AND SEE baby then. woo hoo!

Still not settled on any names. Zoelle Ashleigh (zoe for short) has stuck for a girl but I still really like McKenzi. There are too many choices! Boy names seem to be more difficult.

I really hope that the nausea and exhaustion is coming to an end. I am starting to feel better in general so this could be the start of a beautiful 2nd trimester. ::fingers crossed::
