9 Weeks

How far along? 9 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Not sure, I haven't weighed myself, but I've been eating ALOT!  Small meals very frequently.  I feel like I'm eating all day long.

Maternity clothes? Haven't been wearing any, but I did get a few things in and tried on a pair of pants for work...man are they comfortable!

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Can't get enough of it

Best moment this week: Seeing that Eddie wrote "Baby Appt" on our calendar at home for our next appointment.  Awww, it's the little things.  :)

Miss Anything? No, I've substituted coffee for Hot Cocoa, and I'm loving that.

Movement: No, unless butterflies count.

Food cravings: Cravings seem to have gone away.  I'm trying to get in more vegetables, but the thought of lettuce, onions, and other veggies has me feeling queasy.  I made a chicken pot pie this week and loaded it up with veggies, so I'm getting some in my diet. Paleo has slipped to the way side...I'm just praying that once I stop feeling sick all the time I'll be better able to regain my focus on the healthier stuff.  For my sake and the baby's.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  The thought of lettuce, raw onions, and I think I over did it on gingerale.  Also cutting meat has turned into an issue.  GAG!

Have you started to show yet: I have a very small bump. Can you see it?

Gender: Still don't know, but still calling him he. 

Special things I'm focusing on:  Really going to try and get to the gym at least twice this week.  I went on Monday and am planning on going again today.  I've just been so tired the past few days, I've been in bed before 8pm.
Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  I've been happy for the most part, lately.  But those damn Armed Forces commercials wishin their families a happy holiday on the radio keep making me tear up on the drive in to work. 

Looking forward to: Not feeling nauseous and sick every day.

8 Weeks

How far along? 8 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: back to my original weight, the 1lb i gained last week, is now gone.

Maternity clothes? No, but I have bought a couple things since summer stuff was on clearance and that's when I'll be biggest.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Sleeping surprisingly well.

Best moment this week: Saturday was all together just a great day, didn't feel as nauseous, and had lots of energy.  I also saw two rainbows.

Miss Anything? No, haven't even wanted coffee.  Appetite still dwindling and very specific.

Movement: Nope

Food cravings: Fruit juice.  I've got cranberry, orange, apricot and mango lemonade waiting in the fridge.  Apricot being my new favorite!  I never had it before, who knew!?  I also want buffalo chicken frequently, and salty things like potato chips or french fries.
 

This is what nausea looks like

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yes pretty much anything if I smell or think of something too long I'll make myself feel sick.  I've figured out that if I get up and walk around or move around I feel much better, quicker.  This past week was pretty bad on the nausea side but I still haven't thrown up. I've purchased PSI Bands (which have worked wonders), Ginger Chews by Chimes, crystallized ginger, hard candy, and Duchy Shortbread cookies, because I read that Kate Middleton ate the Duchy shortbread cookies during her extreme case of morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum.  Silly?   Maybe, but the mind is powerful, and lately I've begun to convince myself that a lot of my nausea might be mistaken for my own anxiety of being pregnant.  So I shall eat with the Duchess eats, dammit.



Bye, bye six pack

Have you started to show yet: Well my six pack is gone.  ;)  Ha ha!  Ok, so no, I didn't have a six pack, but I've never been this "Bloated".
 

Gender: I keep saying he and him as does Eddie.
 

Special things I'm focusing on:  Not throwing up.  :)  I don't wanna! 

My crossfit plan currently is not working.  I only made it once last week, but got in a long walk and a run as well.  Hopefully this week will be better on the active scale.





Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time:  Mixed emotions.  One day I'll be happy, but I had one day this past week, where i just felt sad, angry and cried.  It was all completely irrational, yet uncontrollable.

Looking forward to: Not feeling nauseous.  It really sucks to feel so yucky after spending the past couple of years cleaning up my diet, exercising and feeling amazing to feeling like poo everyday for a majority of the day no matter what you do. I'm praying that the 12-13 week marker of morning sickness going away is spot on, or hopefully even less!
