Week 9

Date: 2/25/14

How far along? 9 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: Green Olive

Symptoms: Dizzy, moody, nauseous when I don’t eat, spotting stopped about 5 days ago (WOOHOO).  I had my first experience with some terrible gas pains/heart burn, about 6 tums later I felt almost normal again.

Sleep: Not terrible except when I get up to pee I don’t usually fall back asleep – which is fine when its 5am but not as great when it’s 2:30am

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: Same as last week - as long as I eat something every couple hours, I’m ok – I get super nauseous when I’m hungry.

What I miss: My new size smaller jeans – I wore them the other day and I was in so much pain by the end of the day it was miserable.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On

Movement: No baby movement for awhile

Maternity Clothes: Nothing new – I have one size bigger clothes that I’m going to pull out soon!

Best Moment of the Week:  The first day I didn’t spot all day – Bart and I literally high-fived and I think I jumped up and down.

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: I GET TO SEE THE BABY ON FRIDAY… only 3 more sleeps and I get to see the bambino!!!  

Week 8

Date: 2/18/14

How far along? 8 Weeks

Baby is the size of a: Large Raspberry

Total weight gain/loss: I think about 3 lbs (I’m going to have to weigh myself one of these days…)

Symptoms: Tired, nauseous, moody (sorry Bart!), still spotting (sorry for the TMI)

Sleep: The last couple days have been terrible but overall since this is the first time I’m off ambien in 4 years, overall we’re doing pretty good.

Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: As long as I eat something every couple hours, I’m ok – I get super nauseous when I’m hungry

What I miss: Wine!  It’s national wine drinking day and I can’t have any... sad face

Weddings Rings On or Off: On

Movement: Does gas count?  No baby movement for awhile L

Maternity Clothes: I bought a belly band because my jeans are starting to get tight but I haven’t worn it yet.  I have one maternity tank top that is still too big but it’s what is in the bump pics

Best Moment of the Week:  Going to the doctor on the 13^th and seeing that the baby is progressing and has little arm/leg numbs – baby looks like a little marshmallow man (or woman)

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: the 10 week appointment to see the baby again – at this point we just want to make it to every doctor appointment, really hoping that the gestational sac is smoothing out and looking more normal, praying it’s strong enough to hold the bambino.
