  1. 1. WHAT WEEK? 9
    2. SYMPTOMS? Yes, starting to get tired and feeling nauseous constantly
    3. CHRISTMAS LIST? Practical things this year like a deep freeze, electric kettle and a little something for the baby
    4. NEW YEARS? Haven't even thought about it.
    5. CLOTHES? All my clothes still fit but will invest in a bella band for over the holidays (although if I have to use it it will more likely be due to overindulgence than baby). I am over prepared though and have a number of maternity items I snatched up for a steal on ebay
    6. ANYTHING ELSE? Can't wait to finish up the christmas shopping and have sometime to relax over the Christmas holidays
