Poppy is a kumquat

We are at the start of week 10 and Poppy is the size of a kumquat. It's incredible that just 4 weeks ago Poppy was the size of a poppy seed. This week baby already has most of the vital organs. Mind blown. Pregnancy and how we all came to be is more of a miracle than anything I know of.

Erin is feeling okay. She is tired and sometimes she's nauseous. But goodness, no complaints! We have heard horror stories of people we know - people who are sick - like so, so sick their entire pregnancy. Erin continues to work, workout and hang out with me. Her appetite is off the charts and I think it's cute. She told me she ate an entire pizza for dinner and was still hungry afterwards. haha. Keep eating, girl!

We are totally getting our home ready for baby. Today we filled up our Honda Element to the brim with stuff and took it to Goodwill. We are on a serious purge to make room for baby. It feels nice to rid our closets and corners and drawers of things we don't need. My body feels different, Erin's too - we feel lighter - and being in our house feels much better!

Last night was pretty funny. Erin woke me up and told me she thought she was feeling Poppy move. She put my hand on her belly. I didn't feel anything at first - she told me to put my hand on her belly again. I felt something! I was so excited. I fell asleep with my hand on her belly and thoughts of what little Poppy was doing in there. When I woke up this morning I looked on google "feeling your baby at 10 weeks pregnant." Turns out I didn't feel Poppy at all. I felt gas bubbles. I got super excited about gas bubbles. Awesome.

We have our first doctors appointment on Tuesday morning. I am so eager! I mean, all we really have to know that we're pregnant is a pregnancy test. It will be nice to hear the words, "YOU'RE PREGNANT!" from a doctor. Although I doubt it'll be said with the kind of excitement that I'm currently imagining.

My pregnant wife is tired and wants me to snuggle her. I better go. We only have a six months left of baby free snuggles. OH MY GOD I am so excited for nights of wife and baby snuggles! I could die!

Until next week, or maybe until Tuesday after our appointment, I love you little kumquat!
