10 weeks

Dear Baby,

Today I reached the 10 week mark in my pregnancy. To say that the past 10 weeks has been the blissful experience we all dream about would be a lie :). You have proven to me that each pregnancy is INDEED a different experience. With your big brother, I had virtually no problems/aches/pains or anything really until the end. But with you, little stinker, you have had me in tears because of the pain i've been in. I could never imagine what true pain feels like because I have not once broken a bone, needed to get stitches or anything along those lines, and even though I have gone through the miracle of birth, I had amazing drugs that left me feeling nothing.

But then YOU. You, according to the doctor, needed to rearrange your living space to your liking and I booy have been feeling the effects! It has not been pretty, but if it makes you happy, I'll deal :). The medications that were prescribed to me have helped an awful lot, but I think eventually, we'll be able to live in harmony for these remaining 6 and a halfish months, you and I.

Oh! Did I mention that I've seen you now THREE times since I found out I was expecting, and this last time, you danced the whole time! Your Daddy and I watched as you pumped your little fists and shook your little hips and just boogied down in your space. It was amazing to watch. The Doctor says you're gonna be quite the little mover! I think you get it from your grandparents...(They are showoffs, afterall :) This is good though, us Melos, we're dancers and you'll fit right in.

I can't wait to start enjoying being pregnant with you without the nausea and excruciating back pains. Im sure that will be soon enough. Until next time baby...
