10 weeks, 4 days!

me oh my what a overwhelming time that is the first trimester.
I have recently met with my midwife Bethany, one of a team of three. It was a boring visit, not even any of the first prenatal exam stuff, other than a pee and weight check; everything else was medical background of my family history and my medical history. A whole hour of that, see it really was boring. oh well, now that we have that established the next visit is to be the examination part with the lead midwife Sharon. I don't remember the date though, I also am having my 2nd ultrasound in december, this one for fetal skeletal check. I am looking forward to hearing the heartbeat and seeing little bambino moving around.
I have been having strange sensations in my tummy lately, it feels like bubbles. Wishful thinking wants me to believe that its early baby movements, but reality tells me that the baby is not as high as I am feeling the bubbles and that if it is too early to hear the heartbeat then it should stand to reason that it is too early to feel baby dancing as I sing waka waka.
Other than bubbles I have been uhh, let's say, privileged to get the full gamut of pregnancy symptoms. Every morning my eyes don't see clearly for a few hours at least, in the early weeks I was constantly starving, now I am lucky to snack a few times in the same day. Subway seems to be a win haha. Nausea is always hanging around sometimes worse than others, but its always there. It would seem that "pregnancy brain" should be on the list as well because I can't remember what else I was planning to say.
ah well I shall leave it at that then and go enjoy a quiet house that smells like self cleaning oven. Go super nose!
