someone should put me in diapers

So I am 9 1/2 weeks along now, and definitely feeling it.  Lately I have been having a really hard time sleeping.  I get super uncomfortable, tossing and turning.  I am usually a stomach sleeper, but now it feels like someone is poking me in the stomach every time I roll onto my stomach.  I usually wake up for hours at a time and can't fall back asleep.  So my doctor prescribed me some anti-nausea medicine that makes me super drowsy so I can sleep better at night. Well Wednesday night was the first night I took it, and I slept like a baby. It was amazing.  I fell asleep right away and never woke up once.  At about 7 o clock in the morning I had a strange dream that I was going to the bathroom. The only weird thing about my dream was that I could not figure out why gravity wasn't working, because instead of my pee stream going into the toilet, it was running up my back.  I was seriously confused until I woke up and realized I wet the bed! Usually my body wakes me a up at least once a night to go to the bathroom, but my medicine knocked me out so much I didn't even wake to know I had to pee!  Thank goodness Erik was already at work because if he was home he would have freaked.  When I told him I wet the bed that morning he laughed at me for so long and still won't let me live it down.

Last Thursday I had another ultra sound and it was so cool! Our little baby was waving to us as if it knew that we were looking at it. We also heard the heartbeat! I didn't think we would be able to at 9 weeks so I was so surprised when she turned it on. I definitely cried. It made being pregnant so much more real to me. I really feel like there is something growing inside of me now. It's such a scary/good feeling knowing that my baby is 100% dependent on me. I already feel like I'm bonding with my baby! Erik and I always try and think of what it will be. Erik wants a boy (of course) and I obviously want a girl. I have a feeling it will be a boy though, and the heartbeat was a bit faster (174) so i think it will be a boy. We won't find out for a while though! Here is the video of my ultra sound that Erik took, enjoy!
