Week 9

A few days late on my week 9 post! We're good at taking the "bump pic" on Wednesday but then I'm struggling to get them uploaded so I can blog them :)  Everything has been going pretty great - I've only gotten sick one evening though am still feeling vomitus a few times a day.  I did have some weird migraine before my parents Christmas party last weekend but it only lasted a little bit fortunately.  The Christmas party was great! tons and tons of amazing food and so great to see so much family and friends! We also shared with news with the Hamilton Grandparents... they were pretty excited for us and happy for a 2nd great-grandbaby!! :)

We just got back from Indiana today where we were celebrating Christmas with Andy's family.  We had a good time visiting with them though Andy and I have now vowed to eat healthy food only at least until Christmas!  Fortunately for me, one of my current food aversions is cake balls so that kept me away from those goodies :)  We got some of our first baby stuff! A super cute car seat, some sweet little gender neutral outfits, ornaments and other goodies :) Our guest bedroom is going to be overrun with baby stuff until we decide this spring whether or not we'll be moving. 

This friday we have our first appointment with the doctor!  I'm excited to finally meet her! We've heard great things so it will be nice to put a face with the name.  We'll be going home next weekend for Olivia's nutcracker and are hoping to get a little ultrasound done while there :) Olivia will think it's so cool to see the little heart beating!  It's amazing to look through books and see how much the baby has grown - we are now the size of a prune with totally developed organs :) pretty neat!
