So I hit the 9-week mark this past Tuesday, which was awesome.  Baby is officially a green olive now:)  Symptoms have kind of escalated the past few days, which is kind of strange...but again...kind of nice at the same time, since I always feel like being symptomatic somehow must mean that everything is still going OK in there.....

First off, I feel like my belly has already popped!  Not hugely, of course.....but its definitely there.  I didn't really start to show until my 5th month with Stella so this was kind of a surprise!  And though I could've buttoned my jeans this week, I opted to leave the button undone & smooth them out with my fancy schmance new bella band.  Soooo deliciously comfortable.  So I've kind of been going with that for the past couple of days.

Also:  I had read something about "pregnancy rhinitis" awhile back...aka...allergy symptoms that come on simply because you're pregs (not actually allergic to anything)...and, lo & behold, I think I've got it!?  2 nights ago I was practically in tears from the amount of sneezing & nose-blowing I was having to participate in.  It was absurd.  Nevermind the fact that RJ & I were watching a movie and thin watery nothingness was literally just pouring out of my nose & down my face without warning.  So totally bizarre & kind of gross.  Better than morning sickness symptoms, though.......I'd have to imagine...?  So, really, I figured...I shouldn't complain.

Then...last night I felt like literal poo.  Again, just kind of out of nowhere.  Belly aching, head aching, feeling like I could hurl but never actually hurling......just yuck all over the place.  Not sure if it was morning sickness finally rearing its head or what but ew.  I was in bed by 8 and even the couple times I woke up during the night, I still felt gross.  It didn't really pass until I woke up.....then it came back as a crazy monster headache at Target around 10am.   

The rest of the day today I mostly felt ok...but still these weird twinges of nausea would kind of come & go.

Maybe I shouldn't have assumed so soon that I was off the hook with m/s again this time.....cause, um......apparently not.   Lol
