La Settimana Dieci

This is week 10 and I'm feeling really good! I was not doing so well last week and the week before. I think I caught a cold and that made everything ten times worse. Other than feeling just plain tired, I feel great. I can't wait until my next Dr.'s Appt (5/30). We will hear the baby's heartbeat, hopefully if it has moved forward enough in my belly. I feel like my belly is getting bigger, although I think maybe I'm just gaining weight. There is definitely a pronounced pooch. I can still fit into my jeans though!

I learned this morning from Babycenter.com that my baby is as big as a lime! That's better than a grape! I think it was a grape last week. So he/she is growing that's for sure.

I had a great surprise this weekend. My mom, dad, aunt/uncle and hubby each bought me a Happy Mother-to be Day cards! I didn't even know they made such a thing! My mom also bought this really cute maternity outfit. That's two maternity outfits she's bought for me so far, I think she's looking forward to me getting round! And thank you Lynsey for the sweet email. It's kind if strange being included with the moms! It's hard to think of myself like that yet.



I was a little sad this morning thinking of vacations Casey and I may not get to take for a long while (Italy being at the top of the list). I love the language and history of that country. I know it will potentially be many (many) years until that trip is possible, and it kind of hits me as a pang of regret for a half second. Then I have to remind myself that Italy will always be there and will hopefully always be as beautiful as it is right now. Unless some freak earthquake hits Rome and knocks down the Coliseum (highly unlikely) it will be there for many years to come. We'll get there one day! That's it for now! Arrivederci! Dio Benedice!
