Countdown to Doctor's Appointment...

I am officially 10 weeks pregnant tomorrow!! Sometimes I feel like saying "Wow- 10 weeks ALREADY?!?!?" & other times I feel like saying "ONLY 10 WEEKS???" I am looking forward to so many things that are still ahead in this wonderful journey that occasionally I find myself wishing that I could hit the fast forward button on the pregnancy remote & get to the good stuff :)

I started feeling a little bit better in the nausea department only to be attacked by the worst case of heartburn possible!! I LOVE spicy foods & sadly they have become my arch enemy! I can not tell you how lame I feel carrying around a bottle of mylanta in my purse - but as of right now that nasty chalky white liquid sounds better than any frosty miller light EVER has :)

Nate had the weekend off & we were able to go up to Rome & visit the family! Aubre, Mike & Madison also stayed in Rome Friday night!!! It was a wonderful mini-family reunion! Team Rios was making their way from Tennessee to Orlando where they set sail on a Caribbean cruise Sunday afternoon!! SO JEALOUS!! We had a fun evening catching up and enjoying each others company! We had been waiting to tell Madison about the baby in person & it was worth the wait! The expression on her face was priceless! Madison LOVES babies & she is already planning all of the things she will teach our baby!

Saturday morning we had our traditional Baldwin Family Breakfast of grits, eggs, & biscuits at my special request :) YUMMMMMM-0! I am so thankful that I did not pick up an aversion to eggs! Sadly, Team Rios had to leave right after breakfast but Nate & I were able to spend the rest of the day watching football with my parents! It truly was a perfect day- nothing i enjoy more than spending time with my family & nothing Nate enjoys more than watching Texas football! Throw in all those AMAZING snacks my mom made & it was a perfect 10 for BOTH of us!!! It is always so nice when Nate has the weekend off work & we are able to spend two consecutive days together just relaxing :) I do more of the relaxing than he does these days :) ha ha

Today was a teacher work day so I was able to get alot accomplished at work- always a great feeling!! Nothing better than being organized and prepared :)

We go back to the doctor two weeks from today & HOPEFULLY he will be able to predict the sex of our little baby! I look at the calendar everyday somehow hoping that the appointment will magically have moved up a few days! I must keep repeating... Patience is a virtue.... Patience is a virtue... Patience is a virtue...
