9 Weeks

I can't believe I am 9 weeks!! This is huge for me. I am still amazed I am carrying a little one in me. I cannot wait for the day I get to meet s/he. So far, this little one has given me a run for my money. I really wanted to get pregnant and glad that I am but I am miserable 90% of the time right now. I wake up and immediately take my zofran. I then roll over and eat a ginger snap or 2. If I don't do this around 7am, I am in for an even longer day than normal. Naps have become routine. Luckily I work at Kyle's house, so I lay on their couch and snooze for a bit. I have to eat all the time, even when I am not hungry just so I don't feel more sick. I have become sick of saltines and chicken and noodles, so now I am onto animal crackers and tomatoe soup for dinner:) But this will all be worth it. Oh, and the peeing. Good Lord!!!! I feel like I am about to pee my pants and when I go, I'm like "That's it??" Pregnancy does some weird things. My clothes are getting tighter by the day, but no weight gain. So I just look like a fat teenager with the lovely acne. What about this pregnancy glow stuff???

I am anxiously excited about my ultrasound on Monday. This to me is a big one. I am almost out of the 1st trimester and I am already so in love with my little one, I don't know what I would do if something were wrong. I am only trying to stay positive at this point.

How far along? 9 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain/loss: I think I am the same as when I started
Maternity clothes? Clothes are definately snug from bloat!!! Bella Band is my new friend!! I have a few comments from some close friends about getting a belly... even though it bloat.
Stretch marks? nope
Sleep: This week, I have been having trouble staying asleep. I wake up to pee and it takes me forever to go back to sleep
Best moment this week: Not throwing up:)
Movement: nope
Food cravings: Pineapple. Can't get enough
Gender: Not sure
Labor Signs: No way
Belly Button in or out? In
What I miss: Being able to eat what I want and not worrying about how sick it will make me later
What I am looking forward to: Seeing Baby Love on Monday
Weekly Wisdom: Stick with bland foods... they like you better
Milestones: My baby is a baby without a tail! Wahoo!!!
Baby's now the size of a green olive!
Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like...well...a baby!

Ok.... here are some pics. Not very good ones to say the least. I need to have Jared take them next time:)

This one is a rough one from 5 weeks:

Here is one I took this weekend before a wedding. It's does nothing but show my dress:)
