{baby birdie #2} 9 Weeks


As promised and asked for by many, a new round of weekly updates!
So here we go with a brand new baby :)

How Far Along: 9 weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I rarely weight myself, so I'm going to start with what I weighed at my 8 week appointment which was 120.
Maternity Clothes: I hadn't worn anything maternity until I got my old box of maternity clothes out. And the second I put on my old shorts, I was in heaven. Elastic waists...we're BFF's again.
Stretch Marks: Nope
Sleep: Now that Kyle's back home, I've been sleeping much better at night. But I think I could sleep 12 hours a day and still be tired/need more sleep.
Best Moment This Week: Definitely seeing our little baby at the first appointment and seeing it's little heart beating away. So surreal. And definitely made this all seem much more real.
Movement This Week: Nothing that really stands out yet, but I feel some flutters from time to time. It's probably just gas...eww.
Food Cravings: More like food aversions? The smell of coffee is so disgusting to me now (who am I???!). The idea of most foods makes me wanna yack. I seem to gravitate more to salty foods, rather than sweets. But no real cravings yet.
Anything Make You Queasy or Sick: See above: COFFEE! The smell of garlic seems to trigger an impulse to run to the toilet. Looking at raw meats is pretty gross, too.
Have You Started to Show Yet: YES!
Gender: No clue! This is the worst part...not knowing!
Symptoms: Nausea is hit or miss these days. It was terrible from about weeks 6-8.5. Now it hits me at random times of the day. I'm tired all the time and have no energy.
Labor Signs: NO...and let's keep it that way for a long time ;)
Belly Button IN or OUT: Still in, but by night time when my belly is twice it's size, it's on the verge of poking out.
Wedding Rings ON or OFF: ON :)
Looking Forward To: Seeing the baby at our next appointment because it'll be shocking how much bigger & more baby like it'll look. I'm also extremely impatient and I can't wait to find out if this is a he or a she.
