A little squishy prune.


10 weeks!


Baby is a fetus!  We have had a few rough days over the last couple of weeks but now we look forward--baby is the size of a prune!

Current stats:
Weight Gain: About the same as the last few weeks.  I haven't been very hungry, especially at the end of the day.  Maybe 5lbs since I had the FET in December.

Cravings: Similar to the last pregnancy, I'm craving a lot of beverages: caffeine-free soda (cherry 7-up), malts (any flavor), cold water, small coffee, decaf teas, etc.  For foods, I did have a cupcake craving the other day as I drove by the local cupcake place.  I bought four cupcakes but it took DH and I four nights to eat them.  We each had half per night.

Nauseous: On and off over the last week and a half.  Mainly in the morning and evening.

Belly touches: DH only.  I'm not big on that to begin with. I'm trying to enjoy the idea of it since this is the last time. :)

Feeling: Tired and a bit cranky. Chasing after and taking care of the boys all day is beginning to wear on me.  I'm mentally and physically exhausted. I also have RLP throughout the day which usually stops me in my tracks.


Boy or girl: I have begun to feel good with either option.  There are many benefits to both.  DH is saying "girl".

Emotional state: Kinda cranky and feeling a bit detached.  I miss my Zoloft-- I could hug it. This Winter SUCKS.  I feel like we get snow every other day and have had one of the coldest Winters in 20+ years.  We are stir crazy.  Even the boys' Y class has been canceled twice due to the cold. 

Movement: Nothing yet.  Just "little Squishy" hip-dancing on the u/s sans.


Told anyone yet?: DH has had to tell the principal at his school from day one--and had to tell her 'fill-in' on Thursday because of the bleeding situation.  I also told a friend of mine who is also preggo since she knew about the FET.  (She works at my Pharmacy and knows every med I take).  We are planning to tell family this weekend and other people around Valentine's Day.

Maternity clothes: I bought one pair of black stretch pants and two dresses at Destination Maternity a couple weeks back.  I've worn the pants but the dresses will have to wait for Spring. 

Baby purchases: I've tried to resist until I know the sex of the baby.  We have SO MUCH boy stuff.  There are a few girl clothing items I bought months/years ago in hopes that one day I would have a girl (by whatever means). 

Nesting: Until people know, I think it would be hard.  (Outside of basic cleaning).  We have to turn the office or guest room into the nursery.

10 weeks. Double digits!

Today we move into the land of fetus, no more embryo. (Or is it fetuses???)

Anyways, I've put a few more questions on the list since we are moving onto bigger and more exciting things.

Current stats:

Weight Gain: Down about 6-8 pounds, depending on the day. I ate at restaurants the last to nights and put on 2!

Cravings: Vegan meatballs, root beer, angel hair pasta.

Nauseous: Still bad towards the evening and night.

Belly touches: DH, of course.

Feeling: TIRED. Exhausted doing just about everything. I'm not sure how I am going to make it through the last 2 months of school. UGH. In addition, I found out that I have a 'kidney stone' in my right kidney on Thursday night. Back on another dose of antibiotics.

Boy or girl: DH still thinks they are boys. I'm beginning to hope for one of each.

Emotional state: Still cry at most things and also moody. DH can vouch for that. I am going to be even worse once I go back to work after Spring Break tomorrow.

OBGYN: Still awaiting the May 12th appointment.

Movement: None that I can feel. But we still see them bouncing around on the u/s.

Told anyone yet?: Around 12 weeks, we are planning to begin the announcements.

Maternity clothes: Pants are getting tight around the waist, but nowhere else. I bought a few 'maternity dresses' that can be worn now and later to fix that problem.

Baby purchases: Found a Christmas baby onesie on clearance at Kohls. Other than that, I have begun researching and choosing items for our registry. Fun stuff!

Nesting: Wish I could. We are still trying to sell the house first. This is not a house that works well for little ones. It's stressing me out a bit.
