Size of a grape?

So according to my books the baby is about the size of a grape now. I am 9 1/2 weeks and still feeling good. The nausea has actually increased and is so very random, but I haven't been sick - so that is good. Yesterday, I went to another doctor and I have actually lost weight since being pregnant. The ob/gyn said that was likely to happen to me, especially in the beginning. No complaints about that, although I was surprised because I already feel like I have a belly.

At the doctors yesterday they were so excited for us & knew this is something we had really wanted. One of the women behind the desk started asking me about names. I told her we hadn't picked any out and were especially having a hard time with boy names. Then she went on & on with her suggestions. It was very sweet of her, but what do you say? I just stood there and smiled & nodded, saying things like 'oh nice'. Truth is most of the names she mentioned weren't really 'us'. Which proved my point that when we finally do decide on some names it is better to keep it to ourselves.

At night I have a new tradition of talking to the baby. I read that now is a good time to start the bonding with the baby and spend some quiet quality time together. The baby can't hear me yet and most of it is stuff I don't say out loud (since Chris is sleeping next to me), but it is nice to think about all that is to come, the type of parents we will be, etc. I find myself getting so excited already for things to come, like Easter for example - not this Easter which is fast approaching, but next year when we will hopefully have a healthy little baby with us.
