How far along? 9 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Still haven't weighed myself, but I was 180 at the dr on Thursday (11/19).
Maternity clothes? Still haven't bought anything, but I def need to invest in something other than black leggings or yoga pants. That's about all that fits these days.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Sleeping great. Especially when I take my nausea meds! ;)
Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat Thursday (11/19) at my first appointment with Dr. Mingea.
Have you told family and friends: Some...can't wait to tell all the family this week!
Miss Anything? My energy and feeling good. I'm also missing my hubby while he's at the deer lease!
Movement: Not yet!
Food cravings: I'm no longer craving salads thanks to throwing up the best salad I'd ever eaten! I'm starting to like sweets a little more. Chocolate cake and skittles specifically. Still loving these Honeycrisp apples though!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I had Mexican food for lunch and I only felt a little nauseous. I still haven't been hungry for anything greasy though.
Have you started to show yet: Nope, but maybe I look a tiny bit chubbier than normal. :)
Gender prediction: I'm starting to be more convinced that it very well may be a girl. The heartbeat was nice and strong (183) Thursday and that usually means girl. I've also had several dreams that I was giving birth to a baby girl.
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, but was feeling pretty yucky this weekend. I threw up Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. I took my nausea meds Thursday night and wound up sleeping until 1PM Friday. I don't think I'll be taking those again! I did feel better Friday and Saturday, but the sickness came back with a vengeance Sunday. I went to the chiropractor today and he did acupuncture on my wrists to help with the nausea. I felt a little sick this afternoon, but I haven't thrown up today. Keep your fingers crossed!
Looking forward to: Telling the rest of our family this week. I'm tired of hiding it! :)
Overall I'm feeling happy. I've been having a hard time dealing with the lack of energy. It's giving me anxiety about being a good mom, but I know this will pass. I won't have these same symptoms when the baby is here. (Ok, yes, I know I'll be tired, but at least I won't have a growing baby in my tummy sucking up all my energy!) I miss my husband when he's not around. I already feel a different kind of special bond with him and I hate being away from him. I've even cried a few times during work b/c I missed him. (I'm blaming the hormones!) We are a team and I can't wait to see him as a father. I know he will be the best daddy and I can't wait to experience it! :) Here's to hoping I can eat all the delicious Thanksgiving food later this week! :)
