Growing

My belly is growing. I know it sounds ridiculous since I'm just 9 weeks, but it is. Whoever says you show faster with your second wasn't kidding. I can feel my uterus (or something?) several inches above my belly button. It's not flab, haha.

Duncan seems to be going through a growth spurt or something. He just looks bigger, and we've had a few days/nights of rough sleep and tantrums. The tantrums are awful - when you pick him up, he will try to bang his head into mine (or whoever), so ... yeah.

Went to the Designer's Show House yesterday with my mom, which is a remodeled house or several homes (in this case, condos) hosted every year by some people from Bellarmine. The decorating is way over the top for my taste, but it's still fun to look at all the beautiful things. This year it was in the Highlands. After seeing the 4 condos, we had lunch and went to visit grandma and granddad in Cave Hill. Such a beautiful place. I really should go there more often. Thanks to my dad for watching Duncan. I'm sure he enjoyed it! And I enjoyed the baby-free time, too.

No plans to leave the house today. Duncan is already down for a nap, which tends to happen when we stay home. Maybe I'll get some cleaning done! Still not feeling great - it's still just that slight nausea and overall icky-ness all the time. It's no fun, but it's worth it.

How exciting! I wish I would start showing.

Liam's in full force tantrums these days. Runs around the room and then he throws his toys and kicks and flails on the floor. It's kind of amusing at home, not in public though;o)

Hope you start feeling better soon. I'm 90% better as of now, so just a few more weeks!

It's not ridiculous! You are growing. At 6 weeks people in the grocery store were congratulating me - that's why we told so early. Enjoy your baby bump!
