this week has been a whirlwind and has left this momma feeling too overwhelmed. with everything from how to handle Tri-care insurance on a non-base hospital, to stock piling diapers, to traveling for holidays and just about everything in between. how am i going to make this work, without little to no actual physical help from the husband?

not to say that it wasn't a bad week because just last week we found out, i flew down to Oklahoma to surprise the husband, and i had my first encounter of intense smells. let's just say the security check-ins in airports smell like a mix of very bad feet and throw-up. lead me running to the baggage claim. pronto. and subway restaurants never smelt more intense and fresh!

this momma doesn't have much symptoms besides a constant mild cramping and the urge to always curl up in the corner to take a nap. a little queasiness off and on, but not enough as others seem to make it out to be. but i'm sure i've just started and i've got a couple weeks to catch up. as we try to figure out how we are going to tell our family and friends, mid-October can't come soon enough. to ease my mind and know that everything for baby is going okay and i can do anything in my power to make it the best i can for our little one.

there isn't much of a "bump" just left over "oh hey you haven't worked out in over a year pooch", but it does look pretty deceiving though right? our first appointment is booked for October 14th, and the husband luckily has a four-day that weekend and will be flying up to come with. i am so glad because i don't know if i could do the first appointment alone. praying that everything is fine and we'll be able to see a sonogram of our little one.

i would be just about 9 weeks. now that's a crazy thought, in itself.
