The Nikon digital SLR D3100. Now, I don't actually have it in my hands yet, because it hasn't been released by Nikon. But as soon as it comes out, that baby is mine! I am SO excited, and I can't wait to learn this new hobby!!

My Birthday
My birthday - September 1st - came and went. I was so tied up with school and feeling awful, it feels like it didn't even happen! But my sweet hubby and family certainly did not forget! This year I got the best present EVER! I got this bad boy:

My Miracle Monday: 10 Weeks
How far along? 10 weeks (25% through pregnancy!)
Baby's size? Baby is the size of a lime - 2 inches
Weight gain? I'm nervous to get on the scale! I'll let you know next week!
Sleep? Sleep is MUCH better. Still getting up to go to the bathroom, but I can deal with that!
Foods I am loving? REALLY salty foods - olives, popcorn
Foods I am hating? The B-word...and my kitchen, which I still can't step foot in
Best moment this week? Starting to notice a baby bump instead of a belly bulge! (I know it still seems early to have a baby bump...but have you seen the size of my uterus on my ultrasound-HUGE?!?!?!)
Movement? Nope
Symptoms? Feeling much better, but still having nausea; plus bathroom trips and weird cramping in my pelvic area (round ligament pains?)
Gender? We still think baby is a girl. I should say here that we would absolutely be happy with a boy or a girl, but our gut still says a little lady is in our future!
What I miss? Sometimes I really want an extra dirty vodka martini - it's gotta be the olive thing! I will say though, that I don't miss anything more than I want to be a momma! It's worth it!
What I'm looking forward to? My month off - in 4 days!!!!!! Starting to get the baby's room ready.
Emotions: I can breathe again - I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with this nausea thing! I still can't go on long shopping trips or make exciting plans, but I'm making strides. So this makes me reeeeeallly happy! Developing a little baby bump makes this more real, which I love!

My Miracle Monday (err Tuesday): 9 Weeks
How far along? 9 weeks
Baby's size? Baby is the size of a prune - 1.5 inches
Weight gain? 0 lbs. I'm back down to pre-pregnancy weight. This week has been a rough week of nausea, even worse than last. And I still feel unusually pudgy.
Sleep? The nausea is making sleep more and more difficult.
Foods I am loving? Olives!!! Salty foods, Green apples, Carbs
Foods I am hating? Bacon - literally, it makes me gag to type it
Best moment this week? Having a 3 day weekend to give me and baby a break and do a lot of sleeping
Movement? Nope
Symptoms? I know I'm a broken record with this nausea thing, but seriously y'all, I never imagined it could be this bad. I dry heave when I walk in my kitchen. I have to carry a bag with me everywhere I go - including in the hospital when I'm working - for "just in case." And this is all with prescription medicine 3x a day. I can't imagine what women did before the days of medicine!
Gender? Still thinking a girl
What I miss? Feeling normal, doing normal things like cooking, going for walks, eating out at restaurants, shopping
What I'm looking forward to? Taking next month off - only 8 more days of work to get through! Being able to feel the baby so that I have a constant reminder that this will all be worth it.
Emotions: Still having a really difficult time with not feeling good. I have an amazing husband who does everything right, and I don't know what I would do without him. I am so thankful to be carrying this life, and can't wait until I get to meet the little one, but I just want to feel better! I would really appreciate prayers to get through this!!
