Mood swings...not just for PMS anymore!

Due to the ridiculous amount of hormones coursing through my body, I have started to feel the mood swings. Luckily, they're (currently) not directed at anyone, just sort of up and down. Good mood, bad mood, irritability. I don't think my current sleeping habits are helping either. What used to be middle-of-the-afternoon fatigue has turned into an all day affair. I go to bed late because I can't sleep, then wake up late. Or, if I wake up early, I'm back in bed after a shower because I'm completely exhausted. I guess building a tiny little life is hard work on my body!

Our baby is almost an inch long at 9 weeks, and its "tail" is gone. Thank goodness! Tomorrow is my second OB appointment, so I'm pretty excited. Hopefully that means good news, more pictures, and a phone call from Jay to check on us. The weeks seem longer when I don't talk to him these days. We're almost at the one-year mark, so three months to go!

Consumer reports, baby name book, What to Expect..., there's a lot of reading involved for having a baby! But it's a nice change of pace.

Nausea also seems to be the name of the game in the past week. I've only actually gotten sick twice so far, my body is pretty picky about what I put in it though. Seems like nothing actually settles like it's supposed to! They say it eases up after the first trimester, so come on week 13!
