9 weeks and counting

The baby is the size of a grape this week!

I’m at the point where this doesn’t seem quite ‘real’.  It has been almost 5 weeks since I had a positive pregnancy test and I still have another almost 5 weeks to wait until we get to hear the heartbeat.  That’s a long time to wait!  I guess I just assume that everything is okay in the meantime?  It’s difficult to wait so long!
And the only people that know at this point are family and close friends.  So, I am excited to be able to tell the world!  We’ll be making this public after we hear the heartbeat, which should be at our appointment on June 4th.

I have been feeling very queasy lately.  The last 3 days or so have been the worst so far.  My midwife says the sickness usually peaks around 8 or 9 weeks and then starts to get better.  So, anytime now!  I have also been completely exhausted.  I had to nap on both Saturday and Sunday just so I could feel like a human again.  I have been going to bed between 8:30 and 9pm every night and I still find it hard to get up at 6am for work.  I hope I get some energy back soon!  I remember with Julie, I was really tired in the 1st trimester, but felt great in the 2nd.

I am also very busy right now at work and with my courses.  I have one large assignment for my current course I need to get done tomorrow.  Then, on the weekend, I will have to do next week’s work since I need to spend next Monday and Wednesday studying for my midterm on Wednesday evening.  I will be relieved when my exam is over!  My next course starts on the 11th, so I will be taking 2 at once after that.  Needless to say, I won’t be taking another course on until July when my current one is wrapping up.  3 at once would be too much – 2 I can hopefully handle.  We’ll see!
