10 Weeks

I apologize for the delay in posting this week.  I hope this doesn't become a habit.  ;) We had a great New Year's Eve.  Jeff took me to Mikuni (my favorite sushi restaurant) for dinner.  I have learned what I can and cannot eat during my pregnancy, so I don't have to give up sushi completely.  As long as it's cooked, and I don't have too much tuna, I am golden!!  We had a really nice dinner and reminisced about our first New Year's Eve spent together 2 years ago.  That's when we met 'officially.'  What a road it's been!!  After dinner, we went to Old Sacramento with 3 other couples to watch the fireworks.

As for the pregnancy...

After still struggling with nausea and headaches through the weekend and into the beginning of the week, I decided to head up to Redding on Wednesday to hang with my parents.  Jeff went back to work on Wednesday, and I really needed some company.  I thought for sure I would gain some weight while up there, but no.  My mom is a great cook and she can definitely get me to eat when I just don't feel like it.  I started to feel better while there, as far as the nausea.  My headaches have continued.

The weekend was rough for me.  I drove back to Sacramento Saturday, and was exhausted by the time I arrived.  Sunday was a HORMONE day.  I think I cried most of the day.  Poor Jeff.  He tried so hard to figure out what to do with me.  I think I am just really done with these headaches.  I am hoping to do a post about those one of these days, if I can find the time.  Soooo, here are this week's photos...a few days late.  I should have called this 10 1/2 weeks...

I know I look a lot wider in these photos.  I bought a new bra last week and it doesn't quite fit into the top of this dress.  I didn't realize how funny it looked until after I looked at the photos on my computer.  I'll have to figure something else out.  HA!
