Well, today I headed back to the doctor for my 10-week check-up and everything was great. While waiting to be seen I got to visit with a dear friend and her week-old son, Adam, who were also in the office for an appointment. It was nice to meet him in person and chat with Ashley while we waited.
Once I saw the doctor, I got to see our little one on the ultrasound and see his/her little heart fluttering. It's so amazing how fast they grow and change, even on a fuzzy ultrasound photo. I wish I had the photo to share but my poor doc hit "delete" instead of "print" by accident. Hopefully I'll get one to share at my next appointment.
As of right now, I am right on schedule for the due date we had in mind, June 18th. The baby is growing perfectly and developing as he/she should. I am continuing to deal with morning sickness that lasts all day, and have little to no desire to eat most days. NOTHING sounds good, but I force myself to eat cereal, soup, and other comforting foods. The good news was that I lost another 5 lbs. in the last two weeks. That brings my total to 13 lbs. lost for the month. Not the best way to have to do it, but it's weight-loss! And I have been continuing to wake up at 5:40am, eat 3-4 saltines, and head off to the gym three days a week. I don't want to lose the good habits I have formed even though I don't feel well.
So in general, all is well and we're very excited. Our next appointment is December 17th, right before we head off to Disneyland for 5 nights and 4 days of Disney fun with all of Bryan's family. It should be a great trip and we're really looking forward to it. I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures to share later!

Yay for a healthy Reich baby so far! We are rejoicing with you, and will continue to pray!
Isn't pregnancy weight loss crazy?! I have lost 12lbs and cannot seem to gain any back (well, not that I really want to) but, I guess it comes at some point anyhow ;)
Good for you to go to the gym, even when you are feeling icky! I finally managed to break into a Gabriella Reese preg. fitness dvd I bought last month. Ughh - its been too long since I worked out!
Blessings to you!
