8 weeks

Things have been fairly uneventful since the last post.  On Friday I called my OB office to set up the first appointment.  They needed my records for review, but were closing early that day.  She said I could drop them off Monday and that should be plenty of time for the doctor.  My first appointment is next Monday (6/9) with one of the nurses.  It's a simple appointment to go over medical history and do a physical.  Hopefully at that point I can get an idea of what their high risk care is like.

The evening sickness has been starting earlier and earlier every day.  I haven't gotten physically ill yet, but I feel it is only a matter of time now.  The bloat has also gotten ridiculous.  We were running late this morning so I threw on my outfit without much scrutiny in the mirror.  Upon arriving to work I went to the bathroom and was shocked when I saw my side view.  I took a picture last night at home to have a nice 8 week bump pic, but the picture today was just too insane not to post.
