12 weeks

Not much to report this week. I think I am starting to feel better! The nausea seems to have tapered off a little bit and I am hoping that in the next few weeks it will disappear all together. I have been getting headaches this week so I guess you trade one thing for another. It feels like the brain freeze you get when you eat too much ice cream too quickly except that it doesn't go away. I sure hope this is not something that continues.
I bought my first maternity items this week! I got a pair of bermuda shorts to wear on the weekends and they are so comfortable. I also got this thing called a belly sleeve that allows you to wear your normal pants but you can unbutton/ unzip them. It is basically like a tube top that just goes over your middle section to keep your pants from falling down and to smooth out everything under your shirt. I wore it on Friday to work and it was functional, but rather awkward. I have been wearing my nice stretchy, forgiving dresses to work everyday but Friday's are jeans days. Last Friday, I could button my jeans fine, it was just a little uncomfortable when i was sitting down for a long time. All mine are very low rise and the waist hits right at my growing uterus. This Friday, I tried to put on the same jeans and it was just too uncomfortable! I had to use the band. I think it would be good if you were standing all day but I am constantly getting up and then sitting back down and it would bunch up and ride up or down so I just felt like I might be exposing my self all day. It was also weird because no one at work knows that I am pregnant and I was constantly messing with it. I feel like a couple of the girls that sit near me might have a suspicion now. After that, I went online and ordered lots of bottoms from gap.com. I figured I can try it all out and return what doesn't work. They had lots of cute things on sale. I think I will be fine with my shirts for now but the bottoms are definitely getting too tight.
I have to take my series 65 exam for work on the 21st and I am dreading it. It has been almost impossible to study because I am not supposed to do so during the work day, but when I get home at night I just way too tired. I was planning on studying some this weekend but I left my book at work! Next week I am going to have to really crack down and study during my lunch break or I will never pass this thing. I will feel so relieved once this thing is just over!
I have my ultrasound on Monday morning so I will be sure to post the results once I find out. I also need to post a belly picture but have been hesitant because I feel much more fat than pregnant at this point. According to the scale I haven't gained any weight but my stomach is definitely growing!
