10 Weeks

No picture for this week AGAIN, I am REALLY firing my photographer :)

Maternity Clothes? I am starting to get a little uncomfortable by the end of the day in normal pants, may need to break out the fat pants 

Stretch Marks? nothing... yet

Gender?Still no idea, looks like we will be finding out the week of Scotty's Birthday.  

Movement?  definitely nothing yet, but I certainly look forward to it.

Sleep?  I am waking up extremely early in the mornings, I think its due to my CRAZY dreams. 

Food Cravings?Changes every 5 minutes. Way more food aversions than anything.  The thought of Chicken drives me crazy as do most real meats.  I can eat bacon all day though.  

I have been craving anything creamy I guess, like icing, milk, lemon cake.

What I Miss? Absolutely nothing

 

Symptoms?Heartburn when I drink water, and I still get a little nauseated everynight around 8.

 

Best Moment This Week?
1.Making our BIG Announcement to all coworkers and on Facebook.

2. A wonderful check up on 12/07/12 We tired to hear a heartbeat but still a little to weak to really hear. Otherwise everything was perfect. 

3. Wrapping Christmas Presents that say From: Baby Brown  

Looking Forward To?  
1. Being home for the Holidays with the Family.
2. Continuing to grow a healthy baby 
3. Our next Appointment 01/02/13 :)

Sharing the Big News

We decided to share the big news with our families over the Thanksgiving Holiday since we were not that far along and wanted to share in person.  On Wednesday we asked everyone to meet so we could all go see Christmas lights together.  We had made onesies for everyone before hand.

I had wrapped on up for everyone and asked my cousin Chase to help pass them out with the instructions to not open them until everyone had one. We also had an empty bag so it wouldn't be SO Obvious from the beginning.   SIL had a friend over so I let her in on the secret so she could video the reactions for us.
As the bags began to open there were lots of funny looks and looking around. Then finally screams of "I knew it, I knew it!" Everyone was in shock/excited beyond belief.

Lexie however, was NOT impressed.

 I was glad we were able to have most everyone together at one time, everyone really enjoyed it.
