Hello!! I am 9 weeks pregnant today and boy, I feel like time is flying by. Honestly, I know this summer really will pass me by quick because I am so busy in the summer. I won't have time to just sit and watch the clock all day. I love being busy and especially during a time like these when all we want is for baby to hurry up and arrive. I was going to wait until next week to start my Bumpdate, like Bump update but in one word (I admit, I stole it) but why wait!
- How far along? 9 weeks
- Total weight gain: um not quite sure as I try not to focus on this too much but I have tried to make healthier decisions when eating. I try!!
- Maternity clothes? No, not yet. It does help that I don't have to dress up for work and can wear any kind of athletic gear and most of it has stretchy waists so I think I'm good for a while.
- Stretch marks? Nope, too early. I barely even have a pooch and if I do then I'm sure it is just bloat.
- Sleep: I've been sleeping great other than getting up at least two times a night to pee. I would do this every now and again before getting pregnant but that was only once instead of twice. I have no problem falling right back to sleep so that is good. Oddly, I'm not a belly sleeper at all but I find myself on my stomach more and more lately. I know this will come to an end soon.
- Best moment this week: getting to be lazy each night WITH my hubby. He was working nights last week so I was lonely. It has been nice to have him home. We play cards almost every night and we're pretty competitive at it. :)
- Miss anything? So far, so good. I love sweet tea and although I still drink it, I don't drink it near as much as I use too. Maybe I miss having it as often.
- Movement: None yet. Although, I was sitting at my desk the other day and felt what I would like to describe as a flutter for a good 5 seconds. Probably gas but it was fun thinking about whether or not it was baby. Ha! I know it is way too early to feel baby so I can't wait to say yes to this question.
- Food cravings: um, YES!! Every pizza commercial that comes on T.V. makes me drool. I always seem to want pizza. Also, I haven't satisfied this craving yet but I crave fried chicken like from good ole healthy KFC, Popeyes, or Churches Chicken. Weird. I couldn't tell you the last time I have had any of these places much less fried chicken. It has always kinda grossed me out because of all the grease but I'm going to get it this weekend. FACT!
- Food aversions: um.. I don't have any true aversions that I've noticed yet. I've started to try and eat healthy like mentioned before and often times the last thing that I want is something healthy like a salad.
- Gender: not yet. We have our Gender appointment August 3rd.
- Labor signs: Oh no. I simply just want belly growing signs to show up. :)
- Symptoms: I feel better this week as far as energy. I was dog tired the past couple of weeks and couldn't even make it past 9:00pm on most nights. Still no morning sickness and pretty much zero symptoms at all. Kinda nice, I'd say!
- Belly Button in or out? way in, like normal.
- Wedding rings on or off? On. I really hope I don't have to take them off. I'll go and buy a $2.00 fake ring and wear it before I go without a ring.
- Looking forward to: I'm looking forward to a lot... but mostly my parents coming into town in a couple weeks so that we can finally spill the beans about our growing butter bean. Also on the list is having my belly grow which means baby is growing, next doctor's appointment, and next ultrasound.
