How far along: 9 weeks & 1 day
Total weight gain: Not sure- I have not been weighing myself. But with my lack of appetite, my guess is I have probably lost weight.
Maternity clothes: I am definitely rocking the Belly Band. It's a little circular strip of stretchy fabric that you can wear to help hold up your unbuttoned pre-pregnancy pants. I have no problem with my normal shirts/tops, but my regular pants have become pretty uncomfortable. I just don't like the pressure, so I have been wearing skirts & dresses more often.
Stretch Marks: None. Although I did already start putting lotion on my torso 2x/day.
Sleep: I am usually up at least 1x/night to go to the bathroom. Around 1-2 in the afternoon I get really tired and often take a nap, which I have to limit to about an hour. Otherwise, I am all messed up when it's actually bed time. I like to fall asleep on my stomach, and that is definitely not an option anymore.
Best moment this week: being able to sit on the beach with my Mom and have non-stop baby talk with her & my Dad.
Miss anything: Hot dogs, blue cheese & Subway sandwiches.
Movement: None yet! Still too early for that.
Food cravings: Ice cream, but that's pretty typical of me. And sort of carb & cheese combo makes me stomach feel better. And I have been eating Ginger Snaps whenever I feel pukey.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Most things, actually. Eggs, fish, red meat, bbq sauce, greasy foods...the list goes on!
Gender: Unknown!
Symptoms: Definitely nausea. Although, it hits me worst in the late afternoon, early evening. My breasts are still really sore too.
Belly Button In or Out: In
Wedding Rings on or off: On
Happy or Moody: Generally pretty happy! Although, Rich left for Graduate school and it's hard being away from him, especially when I am not feeling great.
Looking forward to: Being done with our first trimester. I am ready to have my energy back & not feel nauseous most of the day.
