9 Weeks

Yay! I'm 9 weeks! That means more than halfway through the first trimester, and I'm slowly but surely feeling more at ease.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 9 Weeks

Size of Baby: Baby Thumper is the size of a grape!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5 lbs total! Whew!

Maternity Clothes: Still in regular clothes, but it's getting harder and harder to find something that fits and looks good. I wear a lot of t-shirts and running shorts these days.

Gender: Still don't know, but Kirby has had 4 dreams where we have a baby and in every single one it has been a girl!

Movement: Still nothing

Sleep: I've been sleeping very hard lately. I get up about every 3 hours to use the bathroom and as soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out!

What I Miss: Drinking AdvoCare Spark! I was EXHAUSTED yesterday and kept thinking, "If I could just drink a Spark I'd be good to go!"

Cravings: My first official weird craving, I wanted homemade fried chicken with a side of chocolate cake frosting to dip it in!

Symptoms: Still tired all the time. I really only get nauseous when I get too hungry.

Favorite Moment of the Week: We saw baby Thumper! He/she definitely had a baby shape this time! We saw arms and legs, and even saw he/she trying to keck it's legs! The heart rate was 181, and my doctor asked me if I had a Coke that morning. I told her no, and she said, "Well get ready, cause you've got an active one!" I think baby is going to take after Kirby!
