9 weeks.

Only a few more weeks until I'm in the 2nd trimester! That's exciting. I know things can still happen in the 2nd trimester, but it's much less likely. It'll be such a relief to get there!

In good news, my first actual appointment is Tuesday! =) I'm excited.

Oh, and it's taken me about an hour to eat an apple. I used our little slicer thing and it's just taking me forever to eat it... I don't want to eat it... but I need to eat something. Sea Monkey demands food. And I don't want to eat. But then I feel sick, and it's reassuring. I know I need to eat, but the thought of it makes me feel sick, which makes me happy. =)

Speaking of food, I've started making a list of things to get the next time I go grocery shopping. I have a list of protein rich foods to be eating, so I'll be getting a lot of those. Yay.

Zach and I have figured out a budget to pay for everything- prenatal care, baby stuff, plus all our other expenses. I feel really good having it all planned out. Things are going to be tight, but that's only if our income stays the same, which we aren't expecting. Zach has some business things in the works and we should start seeing money from them in 5-6 weeks. Which would be great! It would make things less tight and if something else broke on the car, we'd be able to fix it, no worries.

Anyway, week 9 means Sea Monkey is the size of a grape. And my uterus is about the size of grapefruit (having started at pear size). I think if I poke around just right, I can feel it. Someone said it feels like a softball, and I think I feel it. Which is cool.

That's all the updates for now. Can't wait for Tuesday!
