I had a relaxing weekend

I decided not to go to the cottage on the weekend. Turns out both my brothers and my dad bailed, so it was just going to be my mom (who was taking work to do for the entire weekend and wouldn’t have much free time), Oma, Oma’s friend, and me. So, I decided to stay home instead. I had the day to myself on Saturday since CT was at his baseball tournament. I actually had a couple hours of energy on Saturday (which I haven’t had in weeks), so I decided to make the most of it and I washed all the floors in the house. It took a lot out of me, but I was so glad to get it done! I swiffered first, and between that and the mopping, I swear I cleaned up a whole cat’s worth of fur. Yikes! It feels so good to have clean floors now, so I have a plan to swiffer once a week and mop at least once a month to keep them clean.

After feeling quite good on Saturday (very little queasiness and some energy), I thought I may be getting my energy back. But, yesterday, I was back to feeling like a zombie and feeling very queasy. So, I had a one day reprieve and now the feeling crappy and tired are back.

I’m at 11 weeks as of today, so that feels good! On Friday, I am getting together with a friend (former coworker) and I am really excited to tell her my news. I figured I will be within a week or two of telling everyone else, so I can tell her early. We’re getting together for dinner and to go see a movie, so there’s no way I could keep this from her! She’ll be so excited! And I’ll be sure to tell her that I haven’t told work yet, just in case she talks to any of my coworkers anytime soon, she’ll know not to say anything.

I think I am definitely starting to show now. Of course, I notice it more since I look at myself all the time. But CT has also said that it is noticeable now. It also depends what clothes I’m wearing. I put on a pair of my maternity pants yesterday since I wanted to be comfy and you can definitely tell when I’m wearing those! Although, if someone didn’t know I was pregnant, it would probably just look like I’m gaining weight. We went to CT’s parents house for lunch yesterday and right away his mom says “wow, you’re getting big!” So, I guess it is noticeable! That’s why I don’t want to wear my maternity clothes to work until the word is out. My regular clothes are getting tighter by the day, but I think I can hold out a little longer. I am trying to wait until my next appointment with the midwife, which is on the 25th. If we hear the heartbeat at that appointment, then I can finally tell my coworkers. It will feel so good to get the news out. Even though I’m not looking forward to telling them, I will be so relieved when they know. Then I can start wearing my maternity clothes and not try to hide my growing belly anymore! It’s becoming quite a trick every morning trying to find something to wear that doesn’t look like it’s way too small. It seems like every day more and more items from my wardrobe no longer fit, so I have a smaller and smaller pool of clothes to pick from. This is tricky!
