Ten weeks

We are now ten weeks along. Just another 2 weeks before we're out of the danger zone and into a legitimate pregnancy.

I am not worried anymore, though. I feel like everything is going very well with this pregnancy - and I can see no reason why it won't keep going very well.

We have another ultra sound scheduled July 6th (coming up very soon!) and I'm excited to see Sprout's progress. I know it will be a huge difference from the first ultra sound - and seeing that growth in black and white helps justify how tired I've been.

Last weekend, I drove to Tulsa and then to Joplin for my niece's 1st birthday party. The drive to Tulsa (about 2 hours) has been effortless and boring for me most of my life. Now - it is a race to each rest stop so I can empty my poor overworked bladder. I used to make the whole trip without HAVING to stop - and if I did stop, I often would just get a drink or a snack, and get back on the road. Now - I stop at EVERY available rest stop. (And, on the turnpike - there are only 2, so it's really a tough drive for a pregnant woman)

I was also surprised at how tired I was during the drive. I hope this mythic 2nd trimester where I have all this energy - and I stop having to take bathroom breaks at least once an hour is all it's been advertised to be! Cause I could use the energy and the break from the bathroom breaks.

For now, I think I'll avoid the turnpike if possible and stick to less than 30 minutes in the car at a time.
