9 Weeks

How far along: 9 weeks and 1 day

Total weight gain/loss: From first prenatal visit: up 2 lbs but down 1, so gained 1 lb total.

Maternity clothes? Nope! Although I wear scrubs on most days to work, some of my work pants are getting a tad tight around the waist so I opted for a "be band" from Target. MUCH more comfortable this way. I can unbutton my pants (when needed) and use the band to keep them up. Whoever invented that is a genius! Would have to say my waistline is expanding a bit, although no definite "bump" there yet.

Sleep: Sleep is good! I am tired most of the time and sometimes wish I could take a nap at my desk. I can be found most days around 5-ish snuggled up on the couch for a power-nap after work! I am also able to sleep all night...for now...

Best moment this week:Getting to share our news with my work friends. They were all SO excited. Second best moment was having a "duh" moment with Auntie Em where I discovered I can eat feta cheese as long as the milk has been pasteurized- HOLLA! I was really missing out on my feta...

Hubby's best moment of the week: Finding the cure for my "night-sickness" aka heartburn. Smart guy read the baby websites and found my answer, love him!!

Movement: not yet, too soon for that

Food cravings: Anything carb or cheese related. Bagels, bread, granola bars, cereal, you name it, I want to eat it!

Anything making you queasy or sick? I haven't been able to cook meat for the past few weeks. Poor Hubby :( The thought of raw meat makes me queasy but I can eat it cooked just fine.

Gender: don't know yet

Symptoms: Heartburn, indigestion at night, crazy acne on my face and some soreness in the chest region, also feeling a little bloated. I have figured out (thanks to my Hubby) that eating larger meals during the day and smaller meals at night has REALLY helped with the heartburn. He's both handy and smart!! :)

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or moody most of the time? Happy now that I figured out my heartburn issue. Moody before that was cured for sure!

Looking forward to: Looking forward to breaking into the delicious box of yummies the Wascom's sent us this week!
