So this grapefruit that is supposed to be my uterus is starting to cause some problems... CRAMPS!!! Good lord! Do they get any better? I sure hope so! Also, I do know that I am 10 weeks. But what does that really mean? How many months? How close to being out of the first trimester am I? SO, according to my "What to Expect Pregnancy Journal & Organizer" I am in the first week of my 3rd month. HOLY COW!!!! Only 7 more to go! I gotta start shopping! This Journal is pretty cool. Each month it asks me a lot of fun questions, and it also gives me a place to record my thoughts, reactions, etc... for each day on it's own weekly page. Since I don't have much to talk about I will share stuff out of the journal from the last 3 months. ============================================================== MONTH 1 Bra Size 32A I suspected I might be pregnant because: I constantly had to pee! I'm excited about: Everything! Being pregnant all the way to being a mom I'm nervous about: Not gaining enough weight, labor, this being my first time. LMP (Last Menstrual Period): February 16, 2007 Estimated Due Date: 11/22/2007 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MONTH 2 Bra Size: 32A Symptoms: frequent urination Who I told: Brittany was the first person I told. Foods I've been craving: EVERYTHING!!!! 1st Doctor Appt.: 3/30/2007 Other Stuff: on the first doctor appointment we couldn't see anything so I had to come back on April 9th. We saw you and heard your little heart beating. I think my mom cried. They also changed your due date to November 28, 2007 Went in for a RhoGam shot because of bleeding, at this appointment I talked to Dr. Kindred for the first time, he told me my due date was November 25th, 2007. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MONTH 3 Bra Size: 34B (WAHOO!!)

Other Stuff: I have also completed everything that is required on my To-Do list for this month.
