Today we have reached week number 10.  BT is apparently about the size of a kumquat (I'm not really sure what that is), and his or her little organs are starting to grow.  Only 10 more weeks till we find out if we're having a boy or a girl!  We can't wait!

We have begun cleaning out baby's room (formerly the junk room) and are soon going to rearrange the furniture and build the crib we just received!  My aunt and uncle brought us a crib that one of my brothers actually used as a baby.  Isn't recycling great?  This our first major baby addition to the house; it just keeps getting more and more real.  Once we begin working on the baby room, we'll put up some pictures.  We probably won't pick a paint color/theme until we know if it's a boy or girl, though.

What else--morning sickness seems to be lessening.  I still feel queasy most days, but it's very minor.  Haven't thrown up once!  So happy about that.  And my clothes are mostly still fitting (even my skinny jeans!), but a couple items need the button left undone. I am very eager to actually start showing.  I did purchase a few maternity clothes just to be ready for the day when I wake up and nothing fits anymore. 

That's all our news for now.  We're going garage-saleing this Saturday at the Bartlett community-wide sale.  I'm hoping to pick up some inexpensive maternity clothes and maybe find some baby bargains.  If you have any thrifty suggestions for picking up these items, comment and let us know!  We appreciate frugal friends!
