- How far along? 9 weeks – baby is the size of a grape
- Total weight gain: Ay caramba! +6. Shoot me. This is what happens when you don’t go to the gym for a month.
- Maternity clothes? I think based on the above, what I need is fat clothes.
- Stretch marks? I think based on the above, they are coming.
- Sleep: Gotta pee, hot flash, cold flash, gotta pee, turn on the fan, turn off the fan, gotta pee, this side is comfortable, no that side is more comfortable… you get the idea.
- Best moment this week: First ultrasound! Yayyyy!
- Miss Anything? Still: NOT FEELING NAUSEOUS EVERY MINUTE OF THE DAY. Being hungry. Being satisfied after a meal. Having enough energy to take care of the house and Luke.
- Movement: Not there yet.
- Food cravings: Nothing. I really dislike food right now.
- Food aversions: If it is a food, I am averse.
- Gender: Fast heartbeat, super sick… girl?!?! We shall see!
- Labor Signs: Heavens no.
- Symptoms: Pretty much running the gamut right now, but the major ones are still nausea and fatigue. The fatigue is letting up a teeny tiny touch. I’m still taking Zofran for the nausea, and have thrown in occasional Zantac. Today I started Miralax to get things moving along a little better.
- Belly Button in or out? In
- Wedding rings on or off? On
- Looking forward to: Still really wanting to get back to my normal routine, and be an awesome mom for Luke again!
- Milestone: First ultrasound this week: we saw a perfect lil mini bebe with a heartbeat of 173 bpm. Everything looked great! Measured exactly 9 weeks and received my official due date of 8/23/12.
The theme for this week is “not as bad as last week”. All the sucky parts are still there, but instead of 100% intensity, we are at about a 90%. Win! Also, new this week: bursts of energy! Or, I should say, bursts of Not Dying. Maybe bursts of normalcy? Regardless, this means that sometimes I get things done. One day, I brushed the dogs AND vacuumed. True story.
Congrats mama! You're due a few weeks after me :)
ReplyDeleteWhaaaa?!?! You're pregnant? Are you going to discuss this on your blog so I can learn more??? Congrats!!
DeleteI might... we'll see. As you can imagine, it's a bit of an unorthodox situation and some people are not yet in the loop who do actually read the blog, so yeah... I'm slowly bringing people in on the news and there are plenty of things I'd love to discuss and disclose on the blog, so I think in the next week or so there'll be a little sumthin-sumthin. I have to tell the readers I got myself a boyfriend first, ha... oh, the internet...
ReplyDeleteI miss your posts so I was supa excited to see these updates - and excited for your growing family! Lucky babe to have Luke the man for a big brother :)
ReplyDeleteI just emailed you... I think at the exact minute you were writing this. Ha!
