Nine - Eleven weeks

How far along? Nine weeks - 10/15/10

How big is baby? An olive

Next appointment: November 9

Maternity clothes: Not yet, but it's getting really close. Maybe next week.

Sleep: Ahhhh...yes. I love sleeping. So far, no issues with that!

Cravings: Salty stuff and sour stuff. Green apples seem to be the most consistent craving.

Aversions: Sweets. Bummer.

Symptoms: Food aversions, moodiness, mild nausea.

Movement: Not yet.

What I'm Looking Forward To: More energy, less queasiness, my next appointment!

Reflections on this week: Tuesday was the best day, because we discovered that this baby is alive and well! The other highlight was Thursday morning when we told the kids about the baby. Ethan is the most excited...he can't wait! He thinks it's going to be a boy, and Nicholas thinks it's a girl. We shall see!

How big is baby? A prune

Next appointment:  November 9

 

Maternity clothes: Oooh...getting close. I pulled the box out of the closet and opened it. :)

Sleep: Yay for sleep!

 

Cravings: Anything that doesn't make me think of puking.

 

Aversions: Sweet stuff, other than ice cream. Oh, and my prenatal vitamins. Hurl.

Symptoms: Nausea and food aversions are getting a little better, but they're not completely gone yet.

 

Movement: Not yet!

 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Tomorrow. We're heading to the Houston Zoo for the first time! They have a dinosaur exhibit there through the end of October, and the boys are so excited! Also, they're doing the Zoo Boo right now, so we should have lots of Halloween fun!

 

Reflections on this week: This was a BAD week. Nothing to do with the baby, really, but it was just bad. I need a mini-vacation.

How big is baby? A lime

Next appointment: November 9
 

Maternity clothes: Yep. I had to cave and start wearing the stretchy pants. Much better.
 

Sleep: I love sleeping.
 

Cravings: Food, mostly. :)
 

Aversions: Still not liking sweets as much, but it's getting a lot better.

Symptoms: A little anxiety, but the other symptoms are fading.
 

Movement: Not quite yet.
 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Grrrr...November 9! It would be nice to go check to make sure the poor child is still in there and still alive. I hate waiting when I'm so nervous.
 

Reflections on this week: I had a couple of accident-prone days this week, coupled with a major anxiety attack last weekend. Other than that, it wasn't too bad.
