10 weeks of belly love





How Far Along:  10 weeks

Size of baby:  Baby is the size of a prune, 1.25 - 1.75 inches and .18 ounces.

Gender: Thinking boy but hoping girl, secretly.  Not sure if I have a preference or not.  We really just want a healthy baby.

Maternity Clothes:  Mostly wearing comfy yoga pants while at home.  Maternity work pants and flowey shirts.  Regular pants are too uncomfortable for me :-(

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.  I go to bed way too early most of the time and am up too early on the weekend, yet I DO NOT want to get up on work mornings.  I am just so tired by the end of the day and don't want to do anything once I do something, i.e.  if I go to the store come home clean...I am done for the day.

Symptoms:   Tired, slight acne - which seems to be starting to go away, apparently a couple people at work said my 'face looks a little fuller' (not the best thing to say to a preggo lady if you ask me...), small tiny baby bump going on, feel bloated, hungry often yet get full fast, short of breathe sometimes, occasional cramps.

What I miss:  Sleeping without waking up, not being tired all the time.  Nothing too much.  Going for daily walks (I'm just too tired :-)).

Cravings:  I like chocolate now, I really like chocolate milk once a day.  I'll have a salty, chip craving and then I'll want something sweet.  Soup has been so good to me lately.

What I am looking forward to:  Finding out the sex of our little munchkin - and having something to call him/her.  Meeting and holding the sweet little thing!

I am so anal lately with cleaning, this entire pregnancy actually.  I hate it.  I know I"m normally kind of like that but dog hair is just driving me nuts lately.  I don't know what to do about it.  Sometimes I get overwhelmed with everything I have to do and don't get help with it, I get a little overly cranky with Ryan about it... :-)
