Weeks 8-9

Spent Thanksgiving in NJ with Pete’s family and had a hard time hiding the pregnancy since there was a lot of drinking going on – wonder if I fooled anyone (probably not!)?! Symptoms remain the same: pretty non-existent with the exception of some food aversions (everything healthy it seems: salad, whole wheat bread, etc.) and slight queasiness if I get too hungry. I definitely feel more winded going up stairs and when exercising. Still jogging/walking 3-4 times a week without any problem. Sleeping fine, but I have been waking up with the urge to pee, usually early morning before the alarm goes off. Sometimes feel completely exhausted and drained (like body is made of lead), but hasn’t been affecting my normal day to day life. First OB appointment on 12/5 – hoping to hear the heart beat or see the baby via ultrasound to confirm there is actually something in there!!!
