Week 10

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 10 weeks

Size of baby: size of a prune

Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 1 pound (lost 2 since last visit)

Maternity Clothes: I'm wearing my regular clothes with the belly band and a few maternity clothes that were size small from Emmie

Gender: ???

Movement: none...it's way too early!

Sleep: sleeping a little better

What I miss: caffeine...I really miss diet soft drinks and coffee

Cravings:  firecracker Popsicles...I have at least 2 a night

Symptoms: heartburn is the newest symptom.  I feel much better in regards to nausea but still have mornings where I don't feel well

Best Moment this week: I had my first OB appointment today and it went really well.  My doctor was able to hear the heartbeat with the doppler even though she said it was technically too early.  It was 160.  I also had to have an exam and bloodwork and I'm thankful I survived the appointment!  It was a rough one.  

Week 8

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 8 weeks!

Size of baby: size of a kidney bean

Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 3 pounds...ugh

Maternity Clothes: I broke out a few maternity shirts and thank goodness they are still too big!

Gender: ???

Movement: none...it's way too early!

Sleep: sleeping a little better

What I miss: caffeine...I really miss diet soft drinks and coffee

Cravings:  My cravings this pregnancy have been so strong already...this week it was sushi...I had it twice in a week.  I don't even really like it that much but it was delicious!  (I only ate things that were cooked)

Symptoms: I suffered a pretty serious bout of morning sickness, so much so that I had to have some meds called in.  It seems to have eased up but every time I think it's over it comes back.  It was not like this with Emmie.  

Best Moment this week: Going to the doctor this week and hearing the baby's heartbeat!  I am 8 weeks now and the heartbeat was 135.  I am thinking this baby is going to be a boy because I am so big already!
