Ten.

How Far Along: 10 weeks
Total Weight Gain: I think I might have lied last week, my weight fluctuates so much I don't really know.  But since my first weigh in on May 9th I've gained 3 pounds.  I would like to make a disclaimer: I know this is supposed to be a "beautiful thing", but as someone who recently lost 30 pounds, the thought of putting all of that back on (whether for a good reason or not), is completely and utterly frightening beyond belief.  I'm super worried about not being able to take all the weight off after Monkey comes and I know it's going to be a lot of hard work.  I'm hoping my old clothes, my flabby after baby belly, and the half marathon will be good motivation to stick to a good diet and work out really hard. 
Maternity Clothes: I need some.  Stat.  I think Wednesday of last week was the first day I really noticed my pants digging into this nice little gut I am growing.  I unbottoned my pants at my desk all day and it was AMAHZE.  Time to have my seeester take me to Gap Maternity.
Sleep: I still want to sleep all day, every day.  I'm hoping this changes soon.  I'm starting to feel like a waste of space.
Best Moment(s) this week: Our ultrasound for sure.  I posted about it under the sonogram pictures.  But just to reiterate - seeing Monkey's heart going crazy on the screen was pretty awesome, and made this all VERY real.  I also told my boss, which I was extremely nervous about, but as expected he was really cool.  I'm glad to have that over with.
Gender: No update.  We are hoping for "healthy".  No new predictions from anyone this week!
Movement: Monkey Butt is either the size of a prune or a lime, depending on what website I read or app I use.  Regardless, I don't feel any movement except for my uterus growing, which continues to suck.
Food Cravings: I don't know that I'm ever going to have any weird cravings other than "give me food now".  Last night after a special bathroom visit around 2am, I was so hungry I had to go down to the kitchen to eat crackers.  I still feel like my inner fat kid is rejoicing when I'm eating all the time.  Contrary to what I said before, I hope that guilt goes away soon.  Sometimes I just need to eat.
Symptoms: My new most special symptom is one that can be cured with Imodium AD.  That's all I'm going to say.  It's horrible, it sucks, and I'm not sure if it's really any better than vomitting.  The best part?  It only happens when we need to go somewhere, like a bridal shower, or a Reds game.  Thanks for that.  I'm still a little bi-polar too, but that seems to be getting better.
What I Miss: Beer, wine, beer.  Being able to stay awake all day without needing a nap.  My *ahem* sex drive (sorry Mom!).  Oh, and did I say beer?
What I am Looking Forward to: Finally letting the word get out.  Some of our family members have been spreading the word without telling us they are spreading the word, so I will be glad to stop feeling awkward when people say "congrats" to me when I didn't know that they knew.  We are telling our softball team at our banquet on Tuesday, and while I'm a little anxious and nervous to tell them, I'll be glad that they finally know.
Noteworthy Items:
-One of the worst things about telling people you are pregnant is the impending hug.  Don't you people know my boobs feel like they were used as a punching bag?  Squeezing my upper body is not exactly exhilerating for me right now.
-Speaking of boobs: if mine don't stop growing, I might break some kind of world record.
-Going to a wedding sober ROYALLY SUCKS.
-I'm a little sad that I've told almost everyone that's really close to me and Jake.  Seeing people's reactions was really fun, and I think that's just about over...
-Watching Aladdin on a Saturday night is my new idea of fun.  Can you say lame?
