9 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: Lost 5 lbs so far.  (I lost 3 lbs this past week.)


Maternity Clothes: Not yet…but I am wearing a BeBand on occasion.


Sleep: Still pretty good.


Movement: Not yet; it’s still too early.


Boy or Girl?  It is still way to early to find out.


Food Cravings: No real lasting cravings.  There was one day this week when all of a sudden I wanted chocolate milk.  Corey picked some up for me after work, and it was amazing!


Food Aversions:  red meat


What I Miss: Cheeseburgers…I really miss cheeseburgers.


Size of Baby:  Green Olive (about 1 inch)


Baby’s Development:  Baby has moved from the embryonic stage to the fetal period.  Baby’s head has straightened out and is more fully developed; the ears are more prominent and some new organs (liver, spleen, and gallbladder) are forming.  Baby is also making spontaneous movements of his or her arms and legs now.


Best Part of this Week:  This week has been a good week overall.  Corey and I are getting used to the idea that I am pregnant and are both really excited!  I love hearing Corey talk to the baby and say how ready he is to tell everyone.


What I’m Looking Forward To:  Our first ultrasound.  I can’t wait to see our little sprout’s heartbeat tomorrow!
