Week 12
How far along: 12 weeks 6 days! Baby is the size of a Plum!
Physical symptoms: Exhaustion.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 4
Maternity clothes: Just broke out the new jeans.
Stretch marks: Nothing new. But my bruises are starting to fade. :)
Sleep: All day yesterday because of infusion-I still get up once a night and have trouble falling back to sleep.
Best moment of the week: Spending 2 days with Chris <3 It's so good to know I am not alone in this.
Movement: Since my placenta is attached to the front I'm still not expecting anything soon.
Food cravings: Apple Pie! And apparently Domino's.
Sex: Panorama test inconclusive- hoping to find out with Harmony test.
Labor signs: None
Belly button: Still there
What I miss: Caffeinated coffee. So hard to get through the morning
What I am looking forward to: Disney baby! 9 days- 13 hours left.
Milestones: Baby's heartbeat is 157! Found an OB/MFM. Had NT scan.
Bump Watch: less roll here. Some jeans are becoming tight.
Week 10
How far along: 10 weeks 4 days! Baby is the size of a Strawberry or Prune!
Physical symptoms: Exhaustion.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 1.5 lbs (Thank you Chicago stuffed pizza)
Maternity clothes: I hit up the maternity outlet store and bought a pair of jeans. My current jeans (which I wore when I was 15 lbs heavier) still fit, but they weren't petite and I rolled them up, but they are so dang heavy. These are petite, so I will wear these once work starts.
Stretch marks: Nothing new.
Sleep: No naps! I couldn't sleep last night but I think it's the strangled feeding from the heart monitor.
Best moment of the week: Browsing Buy Buy Baby with DH.
Movement: I saw the baby move, but totally not feeling anything yet. Since my placenta is attached to the front of my uterus, it may take longer to feel movement.
Food cravings: Still loving sour cream. That FB post about Starbucks pumpkin killed that craving. But my local Wawa has pumpkin coffee too.. and an amazingly fattening pumpkin smoothie.
Sex: We did the Panorama test- so we could find out in as little as 7 days- but we aren't finding out until Sept. 25th.
Labor signs: None
Belly button: Still there
What I miss: Back to lifting. I can only hold 8 lbs. at a time. I usually make the grocery bags 20 lbs each and carry 3 at a time.
What I am looking forward to: My next day off- looks like the next day I am free is Sunday the 7th.
Milestones: Baby's heartbeat is 175! First OB appointment was this week.
Bump Watch: I (accidentally) wore a minimizer bra and my belly was bigger than my boobs.. so maybe something is growing- or it's that pizza.
Week 9
How far along: 9 weeks 4 days! Baby is the size of a Grape or Cherry or Green Olive.
Physical symptoms: Sleepiness. Frequent snacking is helping keep queasiness away.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Scale battery is dead so I probably gained like 15 lbs..
Maternity clothes: I bought a pair of maternity yoga pants- they are totally not going to last past October- but they were so comfy when I tried them on at home that I just kept them on all day.
Stretch marks: Nothing new.
Sleep: Not enough- hardly any naps this week.
Best moment of the week: The one nap I did take.
Movement: Too early
Food cravings: Still loving sour cream... I can't wait for Pumpkin Coffee to come out- I'm already prepping to say "Pumpkin Latte, Decaf, w/ Soy Milk, Whip Cream, No drizzle"--- coming out Monday
Sex: Not sure yet
Labor signs: None
Belly button: Still there
What I miss: Summer Vacation ends - no more lazy days- not that I really had many
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the baby on Tuesday
Milestones: Bought the foundations for the nursery and baby's first toy.
Bump Watch: (Same) Still have the same rolls... maybe a little smoother..Week 8
How far along: 8 weeks 4 days! Baby is the size of a RASPBERRY. Last check it was a little over 3/4 of an inch.
Physical symptoms: Still no feeling in my ass
Total Weight Gain/Loss: -1.5 lbs
Maternity clothes: The Old Navy order is coming in today. I found some shorts that have elastic waist- so I won't need to order anything for vacation. Yay!
Stretch marks: Nothing new. Maybe I should label this section bruises... because I got a few new ones of those and I could tell you that various shades of blue/black/purple...
Sleep: A little better. I've been snuggling with the dogs a lot.
Best moment of the week: Telling my step-dad about the baby
Movement: Too early
Food cravings: Still loving sour cream... I can't wait for Pumpkin Coffee to come out- but I get this craving every August.
Sex: Not sure yet
Labor signs: None
Belly button: Still there
What I miss: hmm... I'm going to miss seeing the baby weekly. There will be no 9 week ultrasound :(
What I am looking forward to: I have no doctor appointments next week. Hello sleeping in late.
Milestones: I graduated from the RE today!! Yay! And my baby has arms and legs!!
Bump Watch: (Same) Still have the same rolls... nothing bigger or smoother
I wanted to start one of those weekly pregnancy updates. This is something I want to remember and cherish.. so I guess I should start now.
Week 7
How far along: 7 weeks! Baby is the size of a blueberry. Last check it was a little over half an inch.
Physical symptoms: Cramping, sore boobs, numb butt (PIO shots)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: -1 lbs
Maternity clothes: No. I did just place an order through Old Navy because there was a great sale and I needed new leggings anyway. I did buy bigger bras.
Stretch marks: Seriously? I used to weigh over 330 lbs. Of course I have stretch marks.. and I better not get any more.. Lord knows I'm not getting anywhere near that big.
Sleep: Some. I wake up for about 3 hours each night, can't go back to bed after peeing. I had bad palpitations last night, which made it hard to sleep.
Best moment of the week: Lunch with Jess- it was nice to talk to someone in real life about the baby
Movement: Too early
Food cravings: Cheesecake.. I told Chris my cravings are Strawberry Shortcake themed. Blueberry Muffin's pet was cheesecake.. and baby is a blueberry. I told Chris next week was a parfait- but that is week 11, for Lime Chiffon. Apparently next week's Strawberry shortcake related pet is rhubarb- I've actually never had it, so I doubt I'll be craving it. (Yup, I'm crazy)
Sex: Not sure yet
Labor signs: None
Belly button: Still there
What I miss: Getting all the groceries in the house in one trip. I am trying not to lift a lot, so it's a lot of little trips. And most of the stuff we buy I can't even carry into the cart, so Chris has to get it.
What I am looking forward to: We are telling my step-dad on Monday that we are pregnant. I haven't actually told anyone in person other than my sister, so I'm a little nervous.
Milestones: I graduate from the RE on Friday!! Crazy.. I've been there for 18 months
Bump Watch: I still have the same rolls... nothing bigger or smoother
