10 Weeks

10 Weeks

Today I am 10 Weeks pregnant. 210 days to go or 6 months 26 days until March 25th.

Our little gummy bear is now approximately the size of a kumquat - I had to look that up...

 

Kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, either forming the genus Fortunella, or placed within Citrus sensu lato. The edible fruit closely resembles that of the orange (Citrus sinensis), but it is much smaller and ovular, being approximately the size and shape of an olive.^[1] The English name "kumquat" derives from the Cantonese word "gam gwat".

How far along? 10 Weeks
Total weight loss/gain: My home scale is not very accurate I'm sure I'm up. I'll probably just go by the weight I am when I go to my dr. appointments. (Next Appointment is Sept 7th)
Maternity clothes? No - I usually can only wear maternity clothes at the very end of my pregnancy - one unfortunate thing when you're already big - you don't really look pregnant until the very end and can pretty much wear regular size (plus size) clothing. =(
Sleep: Decent - most comfortable on my right side - when I don't have to pee.
Best moment this week: Just thinking about the fact that we're having #3 makes every moment special.  
Movement: Too early.
Food cravings: Nothing that really sticks out in my head -  somethings are starting to sound good but are not the healthliest to eat.
Food aversions: Seems like lots of things ... main thing is still chicken.
Gender: Baby will be known as Gummy Bear until the baby is born and we see which one we're blessed with.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In - Will be in for the whole pregnancy.
What I miss: Eating healthy every day
What I am looking forward to:  same as last week...2nd trimester hoping that will help with the food aversions & more energy
Milestones: My pregnancy app says - Although barely the size of a kumquat - a little over an inch or so long - crown to bottom - and weighing in at less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of development. This is the beginning of the so called fetus period, a time when the tissues and organs in your baby's body rapidly grow and mature. <3

 

Side (off subject) note - I love when you see people you haven't seen in quite some time and they say they're happy to see you around again. Or just random comments that show they pay attention to your facebook just may not comment or like. =) <3

9 Weeks

Today I am 9 weeks 2 days pregnant. 215 days to go.

Our little gummy bear is now approximately the size of a PRUNE.

Speaking of PRUNE - I actually picked up some PRUNE juice from the store to see if it would help with my  (sorry) constipation. 

Also - my daily read on my What to Expect Pregnancy app says...

Strategies to relieve constipation - HOW FITTING! LOL It has not been fun. Still being pregnant makes me it all worth it - this is really the only side effect I do not like though.

My friend who is an awesome blogger uses the following to track her pregnancy so I hopes she doesn't mind that I use it. (Hopefully I remember to post weekly)

How far along? 9 weeks 2 days
Total weight loss/gain: My home scale is not very accurate I'm sure I'm up. I'll probably just go by the weight I am when I go to my dr. appointments.
Maternity clothes? No - I usually can only wear maternity clothes at the very end of my pregnancy - one unfortunate thing when you're already big - you don't really look pregnant until the very end and can pretty much wear regular size (plus size) clothing. =(
Sleep: Decent - most comfortable on my right side. Too scared to sleep on my back or slightly on my stomach.
Best moment this week: Buying some things - boy & girl =) Plus a hammock from Grammy.
Movement: Too early.
Food cravings: None.
Food aversions: Seems like EVERYTHING ... main thing is chicken. Also its been hard because it seems like everything that I should be eating to eat the same foods as medical weight loss is what I DO NOT feel like eating. Just the thought of certain foods makes me feel nauseous.
Gender: Will not be finding out until the baby is born. I sometimes feel like I go back and forth between whether or not to find out - but we found out with both girls so I would love to say that this was just totally a surprise until the end. I also still worry since I'm still only 9 weeks along. Praying still nothing happens and we have a healthy baby.
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? In - Will be in for the whole pregnancy.
What I miss: Eating healthy every day
What I am looking forward to: 2nd trimester hoping that will help with the food aversions & more energy
Milestones: Only thing I can think of is one of my pregnancy apps says - Your baby is starting to loo more and more human =) <3

One last note - Tonight I feel horrible. I took the girls to get pizza because we spent alot of time cleaning their bedroom. I didn't want to cook and I knew that would be close, cheap, & easy. Well we ended up bringing the left overs home and Josh ate some. I have not helped his weight loss at all because nothing we're supposed to have sounds good. My food aversions have not helped either of us. Sometimes it seems like the only thing I feel eating is food that is not good for me. Hope this stage passes soon so we can both go back to normal. I don't want this to hurt Josh. I also don't want to gain weight so I really hope foods start sounding good enough to eat.
