I can't believe we haven't made my pregnancy with Baby #2 public on the internet yet! With Our Darling Girl's pregnancy, we announced it as soon as we saw the heartbeat on that first ultrasound at 8 weeks. The only reason we haven't made it public yet is because I'm waiting on some very special family portraits! Since I started with weekly updates when I was 9 weeks pregnant with ODG, I figured I should make sure to do so with this baby, too. So here we go!
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 9 Weeks
Size of baby: Our little one is the size of green olive or about 1 inch long
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Lost 4 pounds
Maternity Clothes: No maternity clothes yet, I don't like anything around my stomach when I'm nauseous, so I've been wearing alot of loser jeans, dresses, or stretchy pants!
Gender: ???
Movement: Too soon, but saw the little wiggly worm on the ultrasound!
Sleep: Because I'm trying to eat/drink often to avoid morning sickness, I'm having to get up at least once most nights, but fall right back to sleep. Definitely having to nap during ODG's nap time!
What I miss: OY! This one's hard for the Texas girl...Chick-Fil-A, Jason's Deli, Whataburger, and Cheddar's
Cravings: Pistachios, Gumbo, mostly salty foods
Symptoms: Nausea/vomiting, needing to (but not wanting to) eat all the time, aversions to eggs (the smell & seeing them raw), and exhaustion!
Best Moment this week: After a second attempt, finally being able to see our little wiggle worm on the ultrasound, along with a beating heart (around 160 bpm) and healthy fluid around the forming brain! Also, ODG has started associating me being sick with the baby growing, so when I'm not feeling well she'll talk to my tummy and say "It's ok, baby, keep growing!" I get the feeling she thinks the BABY doesn't feel good instead of me...oh well! It's sweet :-)
