14 Weeks!

So, before I answer my weekly questions, I have to apologize. I wasn't here for week 13. We were on vacation with my in-laws down the Cape. We had a great time and M loved the beach and the water. We didn't get eaten by any of the sharks nearby either. Win-win situation!

How far along? 14 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I'm still down one pound from pre-pregnancy. If this keeps up, I'll have to mention it to the doctor.

Pregnancy Symptoms: If I don't have orange juice every morning, I feel hungover for the whole day.

Maternity clothes? Definitely.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Yes. Usually 8-10 hours a night, plus a nap if I can sneak one in.

Best moment this week: Getting home from vacation. We had a great time, but it's nice to be back in our own beds, with our own routine. Even if for just a few days.

Movement: Last Thursday (13w2d), I was playing cards with Rob and his parents. I felt a little flutter right where the baby is. I'm pretty sure it was him/her saying 'Hi'.

Food cravings: I guess you could count orange juice.

Gender: I still think girl.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Beer

What I am looking forward to: Totally not baby-related, but I'm looking forward to going to St. Louis this week to see Rob's cousin graduate from boot camp. Yay, Mark!

Milestones: Feeling the bean move was pretty cool. But, HELLO!? I'm in the 2nd Trimester!!!

I hope you all have a fantabulous week. xoxo!

12 Weeks!

How far along? 12 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I'm now down one pound from pre-pregnancy weight. I can't figure out why. I'm pretty sure I gained three in each breast alone already!

Pregnancy Symptoms: I've been getting a little sick to my stomach. But, other than that, just the fatigue still.

Maternity clothes? Mat clothes from here on out!

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Only when M lets me. Lately, he's been up a couple times a night and I'm like a zombie during the day.

Best moment this week: When I took the bean to see Bon Jovi! I have to expose this child to good music early.

Movement: No movement that I can feel from the inside. But, I'm pretty sure I could feel my uterus from the outside this morning. It was very cool and I made Rob feel it too.

Food cravings: I just crave food in general.

Gender: I'm starting to feel girl.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Coffee

What I am looking forward to: Our NT scan is on Thursday of this week. I'm really looking forward to the long ultrasound so we can just watch the bean for a while.

Milestones: Not much.

11 Weeks!

How far along? 11 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I'm back down to my weight from before this pregnancy.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Well, last night, I had my first bout of true morning sickness. After a fantastic dinner at a nice steakhouse, I lost my dinner in a parking lot on the way home. =(

Maternity clothes? Yes. I wore my new Motherhood Maternity top to dinner last night. It's from the Heidi Klum collection and it's so comfy.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: I've started sleeping with my Snoogle again. It's like the Berlin Wall in our bed, but it helps me sleep so soundly.

Best moment this week: When Rob took M to his mom's to swim and I had a few hours to myself on Sunday.

Movement: I still think it's too early. But, I'd swear that I felt some movement last week while lying on the couch.

Food cravings: None really.

Gender: I still don't have a feeling either way. Rob thinks it's another boy.

What I miss: Pinot Noir.

What I am looking forward to: Getting out of the 1st Trimester.

Milestones: Nothing major this week...other than the morning sickness.

10 Weeks!

How far along? 10 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Still at one pound

Pregnancy Symptoms: Pregnant brain and headaches. I wonder if one has to do with the other.

Maternity clothes? Yep! Haven't bought anything new but am considering another pair of shorts. Only having two means much, much more laundry for me.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: I love sleep. Especially when M lets me have it.

Best moment this week: Not one particular moment, but I'm starting to relax a little with this pregnancy and not worry so much.

Movement: Too early.

Food cravings: Ice cream

Gender: I have no idea.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: My friend, Hunter, (and her kiddies) who left after spending a long weekend with us.

What I am looking forward to: Our next appointment. It's just paperwork, but I just feel like I want everything in order.

Milestones: 1/4 of the way through today! Woohoo!

9 Weeks!

How far along? 9 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Still at one pound

Pregnancy Symptoms: Pregnant brain. It's bad. Very, very bad.

Maternity clothes? Oh yes. Definitely can't fit into regular clothes anymore.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Would love it.

Best moment this week: Starting my 3rd month. I'm so relieved and excited since we haven't gotten this far since M came along.

Movement: Too early.

Food cravings: Ice cream

Gender: I still don't have a feeling one way or another. But, the girls at the Early Intervention parent group did the "ring on a string" thing and it came out as girl.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: A nice cold beer on a super hot day.

What I am looking forward to: Shopping for this baby. I already have some things in mind that I want to get but until we know the gender, I don't think we'll be doing any of that.

Milestones: Nothing new in the way of milestones. Just trying to enjoy every day of this pregnancy. Last night, I realized that I'll be a quarter of the way through this pregnancy next week. It's flying by!

8 Weeks!

How far along? 8 Weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Still just one pound.

Pregnancy Symptoms: Still have fatigue, pregnant brain, sensitive sniffer. But, add to that the "gray period."

Maternity clothes? Yes. I haven't bought anything new. But, I've been spending a lot of time in my maternity swimsuit that I got at Target when I was pregnant the first time.

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: I could easily take two naps a day.

Best moment this week: Sleeping as much as I wanted this past weekend.

Movement: Too early.

Food cravings: Not really craving anything right now. I just have to eat every 2-3 hours so I don't feel sick.

Gender: No idea.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Coffee.

What I am looking forward to: I have my first appointment with the OB on Friday this week. I'm really anxious to go into that office and have a "good news" appointment. I haven't had one of those in SO long!

Milestones: Nothing new!

Update

I had another ultrasound this morning. It looks like my due date is definitely off. I only measure 7w1d as of today. But, everything looks fantastic! My EDD is officially February 8, 2011! Nice strong heartbeat of 130bpm. And, I was released to my OB from the RE's office. Yay!

I will now be doing my weekly updates on Tuesdays. I hope to add belly pics weekly, too. It's still kind of early for that now, but I am definitely showing...even if it's just the bloating.

Ta-ta!
