One more week!

The suspense is definitely killing me.  I am REALLY showing and I am just bursting at the seams with excitement to tell my family.  I do have to stop in at my parents' house tomorrow, but I'm using an excuse that it has to be a brief pop-in because I can't have any eyes on my belly.

Next week, my first trimester will be complete.  I have been a little worried this week, because I still do not have an appointment with my OB/GYN.  I called on Thursday, and their offices are closed Thursday and Friday because their computer systems are down, but they re-open Monday.  I just want to know if they at least have my name down and are willing to provide me with some pre-natal care.  I already called my family doctor over a week ago to confirm I'm getting an appointment and I still have not heard from them either! From what I've read, in Ontario you don't typically see the specialist until 12-16 weeks, so I'm still in the safe zone, but my 12 week mark is less than a week away.

For now, I continue to feel the same.... ravenous and tired.  I could seriously eat all day long... well until about 8:00pm and then I have to sleep.  However, I am still running on my lunch breaks Monday to Friday and lifting weights twice a week.  Trying for yoga once a week.  I know to the average person, this seems like the fatigue is not really getting in the way, but this is light exercise for me.  I'm hoping the fatigue and the hunger dies down soon and I can get to being the "fittest pregnant lady ever!"

The other change in me is that I'm getting back the crafty-itch.  All of a sudden (this may be blamed on Pinterest), I want to re-learn how to knit and sew, as well as begin scrapbooking again.  However, I'm interested in making gifts for people.... save a little cash (saving as much as crafting lets you, ya right) and make something unique.  So weird how things change.  And I know all the mothers are saying, "do it now while you have the chance because soon enough you will have no time for yourself!"  I hear you!

So let the countdowns begin... to the end of my first trimester and until I tell my family!!!!
