10 Weeks

This week was SO HOT! I spent basically all my time inside in the AC. However, I used my time productively and cleaned out all of my craft things in what will be baby’s room. I also cleaned out a lot of the office (the other half of what will be baby’s room). Is it too early for nesting?

Questionnaire:

How far along? 10 Weeks

How big is baby? The size of a kumquat (what is a kumquat???) or a prune

Maternity clothes? Bought some jeans and a couple shirts during an Old Navy sale. Let me tell you, maternity jeans are THE BEST. I thought I liked jeggings and leggings. These are SO MUCH BETTER! Motion for all women to wear paneled jeans forever and ever and that be the cool thing. Do I have a second?

Sleep: Sleeping great this week. Probably because I bought a Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow.

I was going to wait to buy one until I actually had a decent bump going but I was finding I woke up every morning with my back hurting like crazy and a sore neck. I tried to use more pillows to support myself but it wasn’t working. So, I bought the Snoogle. Best decision ever. I fall asleep in an instant (new territory for me) and sleep through the night – minus the 1-3 times I get up to pee, but that is down from 5-6 times so I’m even waking up less! Tip: get a better cover for it (or buy this version) the cover that comes with the pillow is very rough.

Best moment this week: waking up the first night after actually sleeping. Also had a great dinner at one of my favorite places – Joe’s, for the buffet with my Mom Tuesday night. Jimmy and my dad went and got burgers at Cowboy Cafe.

Movement: N/A

Food cravings: honey nut cheerios

Food Aversions: still eggs. Sometimes I can tolerate but sometimes I take a bite and know not to take another. Also still vegetables. I can force some peas or a few green beans (literally force and randomly I’ll take a bite and know it has to be the last) but other than that I have to hide my vegetables in a casserole or something like a toddler.

Gender: I wish I had some gut feeling about this…

Labor Signs: N/A

Pregnancy Symptoms:  Still vomiting and nausea – I actually threw up an apple, didn’t think that was possible. I’m sleeping better so less tired than last week, however I do still “run out of steam” around 2 pm every day.

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: the majority of my wardrobe. We haven’t told most people yet so I’m having to hide the tiny bump/bloat and that’s getting more difficult this week.

What I am looking forward to: being in the A/C this weekend. It’s going to be super hot!

Upcoming appointments/events:  Genetic blood work 9/25 for me and Jimmy

Weekly Wisdom: Buy a snoogle!

Milestones: baby officially looks like a baby and not an aquatic creature

Bump Picture: It was legit 100 degrees out when I took this picture. Also, my prune was too small.
