10 Weeks 2 Days

Less than 2 weeks and I'll be twelve weeks! That's so exciting...I cannot wait! Things have been going good. Only that one night of disturbed sleep, thank goodness. I still haven't had much nausea. I have had a couple of minor pains in my pelvis, but nothing serious enough to go in for, and they haven't lasted long. I know I'm not as dizzy as I was with Hadley. I couldn't do any gardening because I would almost fall over every time I tried to crouch down or kneel.

We did a ton of yard work this weekend, and we still have more to do. It's been hard with snow the past couple of weekends. Hadley likes to "help" - she gets so dirty, but it's fun. She loves to be outside. We moved some plants, split some plants, trimmed some plants, raked, etc. Too bad our grass looks like crap. Neither of us is any good at that, and we cannot afford to pay the experts. Good thing most of our neighbors have crappy lawns, too.

Hadley's swimming is going well - she really enjoys it. She may not be actually learning anything, but she is getting used to the water and having a blast.

She started talking finally - she says "go" and "hi" and "ball" (bow is what it sounds like). She still says all the animal sounds she did before - "meow" and "moo" and "quack" (kack, kack, kack - so cute!) and "tweet" (tee, tee, tee) and she pants with her tongue out for a dog. I think she says dad (dah) and I'm not sure if she says mom or not. Sometimes I think so?

Tuesday I have my finger prick for the first trimester screening. We won't know the results until the 14th when I have the ultrasound part done. Some people don't have any type of screening during pregnancy, but I would want to prepare myself if my baby is going to have abnormalities at birth. The tests are not 100 percent accurate, but they can warn you of a potential problem. I'm sure mine will turn out fine.
