WEEK 9...or is it 10?

Starting to show a little!! A little sooner than I anticipated! Maybe I'm further along than I think I am? We will find out March 26! Or, maybe I'm just bloated? I know for a fact my pants are fitting tighter!

This week I watched my first labor clip. We choose not to have cable and internet at home (because we don't use it enough for what it costs) so I don't have access to all the baby delivery shows I keep hearing about, so, I used my smartphone to YouTube "natural birth, no drugs" annndddddd 1.cried tears of happy (I was by my self) and 2. Cried tears of freak out!!!! OMG! That really happens??? I really would like to do this birthing thing natural... But... Like Will says, with my pain tolerance and history of fainting at eye doctor appointments and regular dr visits, I will not rule out pain meds! Later that day when Will got home from drill, we watched the same YouTube clip together and another one too! He finally said, "ok, that's enough of that!"

A brag moment right here though: I've had 3 blood draws during this pregnancy so far and haven't fainted yet! I'm all growns up!! My mom told me when I was little that one day that when I start having babies I will just get over it (sight of blood and fainting) And, she was right! Well, I don't actually look at the blood... but I make it through able to walk to my car! My next challenge is seeing the blood and not fainting, if I can talk myself into it that is!
