9 weeks

When I type 9 weeks it doesn't seem like that long, and I can honestly say that aside from a couple of obvious symptoms I don't really feel pregnant.  But I am not fitting into my regular pants anymore and there is a bump there that hasn't always been there.  It's not huge, but it's noticable and after I eat it's a LOT bigger, but I took the following picture this morning before eating or drinking anything.

I have gained a little bit of weight, but nothing serious.  I have found that I am having serious issues with seeing myself gain weight.  Not in a bad way because I'm very excited about being pregnant and I know that's the reason that I'm gaining weight, but I feel like I've done very well with keeping myself at a decent weight and in shape and expecially on the days that I don't feel pregnant I find myself starting to get upset about gaining weight.  I don't need lectures about how healthy it is to gain weight during pregnancy or how it's concerning that I don't like gaining weight.  I'm eating and gaining weight and I'm not doing anything that's unhealthy or crazy.  I'm just a little obsessive about being in shape.
Anyways, other than that there hasn't been much going on.  I've been traveling for work and will be traveling again over the next couple of weeks.  I'm guessing I should become pretty familiar with the town of Austin, TX since it seems I will be there a lot!  We have our next appointment on May 16th and that will be our 12 week appointment which puts me at the end of the first trimester.  They said that the doctor will do a doppler to hear the heartbeat and that the only way she would do an ultrasound is if she can't hear the heartbeat.  I'm really anxious for this appointment because we only got to see the heartbeat last time and that's been several weeks ago and it's so hard not knowing for sure that everythings fine.  We know 100% that God is going to take care of us either way....I just like to have some reassurance every once in a while.
