How Far Along: 9 weeks
Size of baby: Baby is the size of a grape or green olive, 1-1.25 inches.
Gender: We don't know just yet. Week 20 is the big week - and it should be the week of my birthday! I am so tempted to try Intelligender, although I've read several stories of it being accurate and some not so much. I would just want to do it for fun though.
Maternity Clothes: Mostly wearing comfy yoga pants while at home. I can wear regular jeans, but have to do the pony tail trick on some of them. I do wear mostly maternity work pants, I don't feel so restricted at work in them. And of course, flowy tops. Wonder if anyone there has a hunch yet?!
Movement: No movement, but I can't wait to feel it! According to our books our little baby is moving around now though and it can be seen on an ultrasound.
Sleep: Sleeping pretty well, tired often and I get cranky when I'm tired :-) My poor hubby... I wake up about 2 times per night to pee though.
Symptoms: As mentioned above, very tired by noon to one pm. Feel hungry all the time. I feel like I can't breathe, not sure if this is from baby or the weather/sinuses/allergies. My nose, throat, skin, hair, etc all feel dry. If I stand too long or do too much my uterus/abdomen and lower back start to ache. My preggo acne seems to have subsided a little bit. Ryan would say moodiness and crankiness - I try but like I said, when I get tired I get cranky :-) My hair seems to have grown quite a bit from my last appointment and my nails are growing quickly.
What I miss: Sleeping without waking up, not being tired all the time. Nothing too much. Maybe have more clothes options.
Cravings: I don't necessarily have cravings for anything in particular just when I think of it. I like plain things. I usually LOVE chocolate, I do still like it and can stomach it but I prefer vanilla. Cereal is usually pretty good. I'll just see something and then want it. Mac and cheese yesterday, so I had it for dinner tonight!
What I am looking forward to: Feeling our little peanut, or shall I say grape move inside of me. Getting the bump. Finally telling work, so I can stop feeling like I'm hiding something. T minus one week, I'm waiting for after month end, so everyone is in a good mood, ha! Being able to let the cat out of the bag everywhere!
As you can see, my bump is growing a little bit. I feel like it's a mixture of bump and pudge... My lower abdomen is a little bit harder than normal. Ryan likes to rub the bump.
