Week 12

I can't believe I'm almost done with my first trimester. Craziness. We had an ultrasound on Monday, and got to take home not just pictures but video of the little jumping bean. It looked so different this time! It's grown so very very much. It looks like a little person in there now, instead of a vaguely human gummy bear-ish blob. We had one of those amazing moments when we got to listen to the heart beat. I was just floored by that sound.


The nausea is still with me, although it's way way better than before. Now it's mostly the awful taste in my mouth that's a problem. I'm basically living with a breath mint in my mouth 24/7.

Also, I've finally reached the point where my normal work pants do not close. I've resorted to using a hair tie as a waste band extender, since I still feel awkward and impostor-ish when I walk into the maternity section.

Speaking of my work pants, I still haven't told work. I know I need to tell soon, since I'm starting to show, but I'm still so scared of telling my boss. I don't know what exactly I'm afraid of, except maybe making everyone angry.
