Two pounds and a stretch mark

Russell joined me yesterday for a Dr's appt. My Dr was very excited that I had gained two pounds, since I have lost eleven since I became pregnant. She said that I am growing as I should be and she said the morning sickness should subside soon. She said most people with bad morning sickness have it until about week 18, so hopefully next week I will start to see it go away as well. I made my appt for the big ultrasound, it will be on Nov 12th and we are planning to find out what we are having. I am so excited I can't hardly wait. Nov 9th will mark the beginning of my 20th week and the half way point in my pregnancy. My first stretch mark showed up this last week, it's small and right above my belly button. I am sure there are many more of those to come. Russell finally broke down and told his boss and coworkers that we were having a baby, he also noted that he was scared to death but looking forward to it. I am glad he is finally talking about it. His boss has a little boy and is very understanding and is trying to give Russell advice. It's kinda cute really and funny at the same time to see how men view things. He also was telling Russell that he needed to be helpful and understanding because my body was going through hard times. I was like Thanks Scott!
