10 weeks & 1 1/4 inches!

That's right...I'm 10 weeks along, and the baby is a whopping 1 1/4 inches long! It's hard to believe this "little" thing can cause so much change. I don't know if I am just so in touch with my body now, or that it's my second pregnancy, but last night I was laying (lying)..see, Hollie, I don't know which one is correct, either! Anyways, I was on my back and I swear I felt the baby move. Now, I know with Bryce, I couldn't tell the difference between gas and the baby, but this time, I felt it, like a little flutter! I've been reading that the baby is turning all over, so I guess it could be the flutter feeling!

The baby is developing vital organs this week, tiny finger nails, toe-nails, and the baby's limbs can now move and bend! So cool to think of what is going on in there. I'm still not really "showing" yet, alothough Kyle and I can tell-look more bloated than pregnant! I'm sure I'll start sticking out there soon-can't wait!

I've been feeling lately that this baby is a girl. I guess because of the difference with Bryce's pregnancy. I had a little nighttime nausea with him, but this one is out-of-control nausea! I actually did eat a good lunch today, but that is rare. I have figured out my system-eat a big breakfast, try to eat lunch, and dinner is usually minimal because around 4 p.m. is when the fun starts...nausea, and I get sooooo sleepy! I'm hoping the next couple weeks will bring less nausea and more energy! Back to the girl or the boy-I'll be so happy with either, and it's so neat that only He knows right now what this little being inside me is...I just love that! BTW, we WILL find out April 28th the sex of the baby! I know it seems early, but my Dr. said at 18 weeks we will find out. I'll need your prayers for baby names after that appointment-have NO clue for a girl name!! If it's a boy we like Jackson Kyle! You like? I've also seen it spelled Jaxon-cute too!

This weekend will be filled with baseball games, a get-together, church, and airplanes! I'll miss my baby boy-he goes to San Antonio Friday, but I get to pick him up Sunday! I hope to relax and enjoy sleeping-in! I'm also going to try and catch-up on posting Bryce's baby info!

Tonight Bryce and I ate dinner with my parents-thanks for the yummy spaghetti, Dad! Bryce put on a show, and I mean he went back and forth singing "Jingle Bells" to "Good morning, camper" and just kept laughing and laughing. I think he might have a stage in his future...he also told me that he missed his daddy and when Kyle gets home he wants to give him kisses-how sweet!!!

I hope you have a blessed, safe weekend!!

I am so glad you have started a blog. It makes it easier for everyone, especially grandparents, to keep up with all that is going on. Since the Houser family is now growing by leaps and bounds, it will help me to keep up with all of the kiddos.

Love,
