What's happening: 9 weeks...

I'm going to do a weekly check-in each week to document changes/progress.  I will typically do them on Fridays - I just couldn't wait to do it this time! 

How far along: 8w6d - 9 weeks tomorrow! 

Total weight gain: Not checking at this point... 

Maternity clothes: Yep, maxi skirts and dresses mostly.  I have some maternity tops too as my bump finally popped just enough where my regular shirts were stretching in all the wrong places.  

Stretch marks: Nope - although I'm going to pick up some Palmers lotion this weekend at the suggestion of a coworker.  

Sleep: Getting up 1-2 times each night to pee - but other than that I'm sleeping like a log.  I'm requiring a lot more sleep than usual to function too - 10 hours will cut it but 11-12 is best.  

Best moment of this week: Finally feeling like I'm pregnant due to seeing my bump starting to show just a little bit. 

Miss anything: Wine - and the ability to eat whatever I want.  It's not the restrictions on things that bother me, more the nausea that dictates what I can physically eat w/out getting sick.   

Movement: Too early for that just yet.  

Food cravings: All of my cravings come and go but so far it has included: Cheeseburgers, sour jelly bellys & sour gummy worms, cake, Dr Pepper (very strange for me) and yogurt.  

Anything making you queasy or sick: Yep, depending on the day it could be anything - mostly when the husband cooks steak. 

Have you started to show yet: Just a tiny bit. 

Gender: It's too early for all of that - but I have a feeling there is at least 1 girl in there.  

Labor signs: No - thank goodness.  

Belly button in or out: In 

Wedding rings on or off: Engagement ring on - I changed my wedding band though.  My original (which I miss more than anything) was a bit on the tight side to start with - I've thought about sizing it but I don't want to have to size it again after I give birth. My hands and feet are swollen at the moment.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy - I've only been mood a handful of times - and after it passes I try to make my apologies very quickly.  I feel so guilty about it!  

Looking forward to: Our next ultrasound - it seems like time is just dragging in that respect.

8 weeks & 3 days
