The time just seems to be flying...I am already well into my 10th week and can hardly believe it! Only two more weeks until I say bye, bye to the 1st tri.
Like most women at this stage, I am tired, tired, tired, and peeing lots (but also drinking lots of water - so that makes sense). The nausea comes and goes - mostly in the evenings, but hasn't been too bad. Cramps have stopped completely.
I feel like I popped this weekend. My husband says he still can't tell, but I definitely can. My lower abdomen is starting to feel hard. I'm not in maternity clothes yet, but I don't think it's too far off. I did stop by Target this weekend and picked up a couple t-shirts and the cutest long, black sundress. My first maternity shopping! What fun!
I also ordered a fetal doppler from http://www.storkradio.com/. It should arrive Monday - just around the time they say I should be able to start hearing the HB's through the doppler. Can't wait!
Very soon, I'll be graduating from CCRM. My blood tests this weekend showed my E2 in the high 500's and my P4 at 44 - so they've taken me completely off any estrogen supplements and endrometrin - but I am still on 1 cc of PIO, a baby aspirin, lovenox, claritin, and prednisone.
The peri won't see me for another few weeks, but my OB agreed to do an u/s next Tuesday - so happy about that. As my CCRM nurse said, "you haven't seen any blood - so that's a good sign that the fetus' are doing great!" That put my mind at ease.
My DH still hasn't told any of his family - maybe this weekend for Mother's Day...we'll see.

Wow Flygirl!! 10 weeks already!! Amazing! Will you be on Lovenox for the entire pregnancy?
Yes - will be on Lovenox (aka - "The Wonder Drug") until well into my 3rd tri. They eventually take me off of it because, I am 95% sure I will have a c-section and, as my Dr. said "...bleeding to death probably wouldn't be a good thing."
Will never get tired of hearing these awesome stories !!
