Week #11



BABY WEISS IS THE SIZE OF A LIME!

• How Far Along: 11 weeks



• Doctor Appointment(s):  None this week.



• Symptoms: The morning sickness has been better this week. I actually had a few days where I felt almost normal! When I was sick though, it was pretty bad and usually at night which made it hard to go to sleep. I'm also still peeing every 5 minutes and having skin breakouts.

• Total Weight Gain: 0.

• Sleep: Other then the few nights I felt really sick I slept pretty well this last week!

• Food Cravings/Aversions:
• Craving - Cereal, Chex mix, Fruit, Jamba Juice, In & Out Burger (which is weird because I don't usually eat red meat)
• Aversions - There really wasn't any this week. I have been able to keep almost everything down the last few days!



• Maternity Clothes:  Just the maternity jeans. They are so much more comfortable then my regular jeans at this point!

• Showing: I feel like in the last few days my tummy has grown a lot!I probably just look bloated to the rest of the world but I can definitely tell that something is going on!

• Stretch Marks: Just the few I had already!

• Belly Button In Or Out: In.

• Gender: Unknown.

• Best Moment(s) Of The Week: I ordered a Fetal Doppler online and it came this week! (Sonoline B) I still haven't been able to pick up the baby with it yet, but I am super excited to have it around so I can check on the baby anytime I want!

• What I Miss:  Soft Cheeses! I saw this recipe on pinterest I wanted to make and got sad when I saw that one of the main ingredients was Blue Cheese :(

• What I'm Looking Foward To: The 2nd Trimester! And actually looking like I have a baby bump instead of just SUPER bloated. LOL!

Pregnancy Announcement!

So, we finally announced our pregnancy this week to all our friends and family via Facebook We had some family portraits taken with Christie from Christie V Photography recently and we took a few special shots just for this!

I LOVE how all the pictures turned out! I used them and made a slideshow and a photo collage with Smilebox.

It's been so hard to keep this pregnancy a secret for so long, especially since I have been so sick! I'm really glad that everyone knows now! :)

                 Here is the slideshow!



Here is the card!   And the pictures!           

Week #10



BABY WEISS IS THE SIZE OF A PRUNE!

• How Far Along: 10 weeks



• Doctor Appointment(s):  I had one yesterday! Everything looked great and we got to see the baby moving all around! Here is one of the ultrasound pics. :)



• Symptoms: This week my fatigue has gotten alot better but the morning all day sickness is not waning AT ALL. In addition, I'm getting up at least 2-3 times per night to pee. I'm not quite sure how this little tiny human inside of me is causing so many side effects! I never had pregnancy symptoms like this with any of the girls. Maybe that means its a boy? I guess we'll have to wait and find out!

• Total Weight Gain: 0. I have kept this at 0 in all my posts so far but in reality I have lost probably around 5-7 lbs from being so sick. I'm not sure if I should be keeping track of weight loss? Hopefully I stop feeling so crummy soon and things start going in the other direction!

• Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well this week. With the exception of a few nights where a mosquito was flying around in our bedroom keeping us awake. I kept hearing it buzz around my head, but then when Jeff or I turn the light on to look for it, it was nowhere to be found! We didn't get very much sleep that night... :(

• Food Cravings/Aversions:
• Craving - Cereal, Chex mix, Strawberries, Grapes, Salsa, Jamba Juice
• Aversions - Broccoli, pretty much any kind of meat

 



• Maternity Clothes: I wore my "secret belly" jeans a few times this week. Not because I neccessarily need them yet but because they are just so ridiculously comfortable!

• Showing: Not to the world yet, although I'm definitely starting to notice a little bump!

• Stretch Marks: Just the few I had already!

• Belly Button In Or Out: In.

• Gender: Unknown. Although I had a dream this week that it was a girl! How crazy would that be if we were the family with 4 girls! 

• Best Moment(s) Of The Week: Going to the doctor and seeing our little peanut moving all around on the ultrasound moniter. It's crazy how much they grow in such a short time!

• What I Miss:  deli sandwiches, soft cheeses, having a drink with my husband!

• What I'm Looking Foward To:  The 2nd Trimester! Hopefully I'll feel human again once this morning sickness passes!
