Weeks: 10 weeks 4 days
Baby: Is as big as a prune right now, 1.5 inches long!
Total weight gain: 1 pound lol but I may have just ate a big lunch before.
Maternity clothes? Nope.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Sleep really just depends. Sometimes I sleep great, other times not so much. I also wake up several times to go to the bathroom & keep having nightmares, so that's fun.
Favorite moment of the week: Last night I went to LR to do a paint class with my friends from college! Some of them I haven't seen in over a year so that was so much fun! A close second is the scavenger hunt we did at youth on Wednesday.
Miss anything? I miss naps under my desk. I can't really sleep much on my lunch break anymore. I try but it just doesn't wanna happen.
Movement: I can't feel any BUT we did get to see the baby move during our ultra sound yesterday so that was super cool.
Cravings? Still no cravings really. Sadly, I can't even think about food all that much without feeling sick.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Still smells. They are still winning as the worst thing right now.
Gender prediction: Still no predictions from me lol although baby's heart rate was 169 so that had me hopeful for a girl, until my sister told me Evan's heart rate was 168 around the same time lol
Labor signs: Nope!
Symptoms: This is also still the same, I
get tired easily and I'm nauseous every day. Length of day varies
sometimes it's just when I wake up, sometimes it's all day. Not to jinx myself or anything but I do feel like maybe, hopefully, please please please, that it is starting to subside just a little.
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Mood: This was a pretty good week! The only thing that could have made it better is if Tech workers also got a spring break. I would have LOVED the week at home.
Looking forward to: Finding out the gender! Because they upped my timeline at this appointment (only by like 4 days but still ;) ) I've convinced myself that it will be here before I know it.
Freak-out moment of the week: No freak outs this week that pop into my head lol
Thankful for: Not to be cheesy but just that we get to experience this! This wasn't something we were just like yeah maybe lets have a baby. We thought and prayed about it for awhile before deciding we were ready and then we still had time to pray about it before it happened. I'm just thankful for answered prayers :)
So it's safe to say my sweet book blog has fallen by the wayside. Sad day. I still read, I just don't ever want to write about what I read lol. Maybe I will again someday. For now, its time to turn this blog into a baby blog :)
My friend Jessica did a weekly post with the same questions during her pregnancy and I think it's such a fun way to look back on your pregnancy and remember the little things that happened from week to week that you might not remember otherwise. So here we go :)
Weeks: 8
Baby: As big as a raspberry right now, only .5 inches long!
Total weight gain: None so far. Went to the Dr. for the first time last week and measuring the same as before.
Maternity clothes? Nope.
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: The past few nights have been ROUGH and it makes me so sad because I love my sleep. Maybe it'll get better & at least I can still nap under my desk at lunch :)
Favorite moment of the week: We finally announced to all of social media about Baby Bennett on Tuesday which was also our 3 year anniversary. It was a good day :)
Miss anything? Not really. Maybe cokes.
Movement: Does a rolling stomach count? lol
Cravings? Really haven't had any cravings or anything I just felt like I HAD to have. But I do have a lottttt of aversions to stuff right now so as an already picky eater it is limiting me some lol
Anything make you queasy or sick? Smells!!! Esp anything BBQ related. But smells in general are the worst right now.
Gender prediction: Not so much as a prediction but a want lol I would very much like a girl but am obviously fine if Baby Bennett is a boy. Just going to have to sit back and wait to see (sadly foreverrrrr since we found out we were expecting so early) :)
Labor signs: Nope!
Symptoms: I get tired easily and I'm nauseous every day. Length of day varies sometimes it's just when I wake up, sometimes it's all day. Its a fun game I play everyday ;)
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On & I will be quite sad if/when that changes.
Mood: I feel like I've been pleasant but maybe Sean should answer this question each week ;)
Looking forward to: baby shopping! Rhea Lana's was this week in Russellville but I skipped out because we don't know the gender. I can't wait for their fall sale when we will!
Freak-out moment of the week: No freak outs this week.
Thankful for: Our supportive family and friends. Everyone is so happy & excited for us and it's so fun! This will be the first grandbaby on Sean's side and while it's not the first on mine it isn't any less exciting :)
