Week 11

How far along?  11 weeks!

Size of the baby?  Size of a large plum.

Maternity Clothes?  Still those darn yoga pants!

Gender?  Ultrasound will be scheduled for March 30th!! Woo-Hoo!

Movement?  None. Sometimes I get those weird unexplainable flutters in my lower abdomen.

Sleep?  Two fans, a ceiling fan, and 70 degrees in my house. Thanks!

Cravings?  Lemonheads, Beer Cheese Soup, and Sweet Tea. (I have to really fight the urge for Tea most days)

Symptoms? Stretching and pulling in my abdomen, a couple of headaches, and hot flashes. A couple mornings spent purging - no nausea; I'm not sure what's better!

Best Moment of the Week? Talking names with Raymond, though the boys name is 100%, a girl names still needs to be decided. 

Week 10

How far along?  10 weeks Double Digits!! (entering my 11th week)

Size of the baby?  Baby is the size of a lime.

Maternity Clothes?  Bought a stretchy dress which is Oh, So Comfy. Still digging those yoga pants.

Gender?  5 weeks till we can find out :) We are anxious, so we are doing the 3d sonogram at 15 weeks. Eeee.  

Movement?  Nope. Can't wait till I can though!  

Sleep?  A lot of movement. Tossing and turning. I use about 6 pillows to finally get comfy. A pregnancy pillow may be a great investment.

Cravings?  Anything citrus and bacon. Mmm. I think mostly they are settling down though.

Symptoms?  Sore uppers. Back pain like crazy. Owie.

Best Moment of the Week?  Seeing hubby getting excited about looking at carseats online. He was intrigued. It was adorable.

Week 9

So, I really want to do weekly updates so I can look back one day and look at the progress that I made during the pregnancy. It seems as if my pregnancy brain is already making me forget minor things and therefore I really do not want to forget this. At the end of the pregnancy I hope to put highlights over the weeks in a book for baby. I can't believe it is already flying by. Well here goes, for family near and far and for myself. 

 

How far along?  9 weeks

Size of the baby?  Baby is the size of a prune.

Maternity Clothes?  I have bought some yoga pants and a couple maternity shirts (they are so soft!) but haven't bought any jeans or such. Since I will be super preggo in the summer, I intend on wearing mostly dresses and shorts. Otherwise, I may die.

Gender?  We'll find out around 15/16 weeks!

Movement?  Nothing so far!

 

Sleep?  Some nights I can sleep entirely, other nights I toss and turn. Also, about every other night I have to go to the restroom about 3 times a night, which is better than the first couple weeks when I had to go sometimes 5 times a night every night!! This pregnancy urine usage is no joke!

Cravings?  Macaroni and Cheese, grapefruit, gummi bears, and milk. I drink milk by the gallon now.

Symptoms?  I'm hungry all the time.  I eat small meals/snacks to keep from starving. In the beginning I was crazy nauseous, I think it's mostly over now. Sometimes I still can't even open the fridge or pantry without running to bathroom. That still happens.

Best Moment of the Week?  Realizing I think I defeated the nausea. Let's not jinx it though.
