10 Weeks, 2 Days

I just LOVE this little candy corn beanie that my little cousins sent baby D in the mail yesterday. I love getting fun mail from people I love!

How Far Along? 10 weeks and 3 days as of today, but 10 weeks and 2 days in these pictures.

 

Size of Baby? A kumquat...

 

Maternity Clothes? Yes on pants, everything pre-maternity is just too tight. I have a couple (2) maternity tops that are doable right now, but mostly tops are regular still. Today I am wearing leggings, a dress and cardigan-all non-maternity.

 

Gender? We don’t know for sure and won’t for a few more weeks but I am still thinking boy...maybe because we only have a boy name picked out?

 

Movement? None that I can feel yet.

Sleep? Pretty good for the most part, but my back has started to hurt. Do you think I need one of those pregnancy pillows already? Still getting up 4(ish) times a night to use the potty...and Louie goes with me every single time. He is my shadow.

 

Food Cravings? Nothing that I can really think of. The end of last week I wanted Tomato Bisque Soup from a place that's only in FL (and a few in NC) called The Loop. That still sounds really good, we made some at home Sunday but it just wasn't the same!

 

What I miss?  Checking my blood sugar 8 times a day instead of 20. I am crazy about checking my blood sugar now. I wonder when the insurance company will cut me off and stop supplying test strips? There should really be an underground market for those things!

 

Symptoms?  I think I have gone past feeling bloated to just feeling plain fat right now. Other than that, I have been really tired still and experiencing some achy lower back pain-I think that’s from tossing and turning during sleep though. Nothing too bad! I have been blessed with no “sickness” yet, but I have felt “pukey” a few times…hope that stays away!

Best Moment Last Week? 1. Deciding and announcing to family in Florida that we will be travelling there for Thanksgiving (as long as the Dr. says I can travel). 2. Ordering the crib and changing table that were generously gifted to us by Stephen's parents. What a BLESSING! I CANNOT wait for them to arrive! :)

Looking Forward to? My Doctor's appointment today at noon, can't wait!! Oh, and getting the crib delivered to the house of course!

 

And of course, some pictures from last night's photo shoot: I spy a little baby bump...can you see it?

Have a great Wednesday every one! :)
