1/4 of the way there!

How far along?: 10 weeks!

How big is baby?:  A plum... shich is cool because last week it was the size of an olive and now a plum... that means LOTS of growing has gone on!

Stretch marks?: yup... they are inviting friends too!

Maternity clothes?: yup... at least now i just wear regular clothes that stretch in the stomach
 
Sleep?: too much if you ask me. i sleep alright at nights and then take at least 1 nap a day! yesterday i was so tried i took 2 two hour naps and only then did i feel better

Food cravings?: lots of carbs... and chocolate!

Movement?: nothing i can feel, but we had a sonogram and the tech told us normally they can see the baby move and tried to get it to move, but apparently our baby is lazy and stubborn... kinds like it's Daddy!

Gender?: no clue!

Belly button?: normal! thank goodness~!

What are you looking forward to this week?
: Going to Florida! There are lots of things to consider though, the doctor gave me motion sickness patched to go along with my pill because i am still really sick everyday. She warned that on planes i am likely to get very dizzy and very tired because of the altitude changes, so make sure i am not alone. Also i never would have thought to ask to be searched instead of going through the metal detectors int eh airport. It makes sense though because i can't be exposed to x-rays and that's what the machines do, so instead i just get violated! But i am really hoping this vacation will give me enough time to relax and burn a whole first trimester weeks so when i get back i can start working without being exhausted and maybe i will even start feeling better!


We got another sonogram this week. Baby actually looks like a Baby now and not a gummy bear. we saw all 10 fingers and all 10 toes and the most adorable little feet i have ever seen. Also we saw Baby's heartbeat, nice and strong, and Baby sucking it's thumb! i never expected to see all that this early and it's all starting to feel real (and scary!). Also this past week i put on a outfit and actually looked like i had a little belly not like i was just bloated! It was SO amazing!


The doc said i just have to make sure and listen to my body as much as possible. I've noticed i get more nausea when i am standing, so i try to stand as little as possible.  Also showers make em really lightheaded from all the steam my bathroom collects, so i take really short cold showers! It frustrating though because i miss hanging out with my friends, but i don't have energy to do anything, so i am hoping in February i can get caught up on my social calendar!
