How far along? 9-10 Weeks Pregnant
Total weight gain: 0 so far…but I gained a lot before I got pregnant due to fertility treatments/not being able to work out, so my doc isn’t concerned.
Maternity clothes? Starting to need them a bit more 🙂
Stretch marks? Not yet…but it’s early yet!
Sleep: EXHAUSTED is not the word for it still. The usual: I try to get 7-8 hours at night, but then I still typically have to take at least a cat nap during the day a few days a week.
Best moment this week: Noticing how big my belly is starting to feel. You still can’t really see it, but Ryan and I can definitely feel a difference. We’re getting there! I can’t wait for everyone else to start noticing it. Every week mark that we hit is exciting and makes us feel a little safer. 🙂
Miss Anything? SANDWICHES still. LOL
Movement: Not for a few more weeks still…
Food cravings/aversions: A LOT of aversions the last few weeks…not much sounds good, but then i’ll get ridiculously hungry. I’ve had a few sweets cravings including cereal (which I haven’t eaten since before Junior High! And I randomly started craving McDonald’s (which is not healthy and haven’t had it in over a year!)
Symptoms: Still pretty nauseous on and off (sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night). Mostly just VERY sore and cramping off and on. I already have to be careful to not get up too fast or make any sudden moves. Occasional sharp pains here and there, but I was reassured that it’s all normal…especially with multiples. We have to do twice as much growing, so it starts a lot earlier.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The usual: Cigarette smoke and strong cologne/perfumes.
Labor Signs: NO! Praying we make it to at least 37 weeks with these two 🙂
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Mostly happy…except for traffic in Savannah lol After so many months on and off the fertility drugs, my body is like “What? Pregnancy? Piece of cake these hormones!”
Looking forward to: All of it!!! Not trying to wish anything away, but definitely ready to be out of the first trimester so I can relax a little more. I can’t wait to feel the babies moving and to share in everything with Ryan! I can’t wait for other people besides us two to notice that i’m pregnant too 🙂 Anxious for the next ultrasound (February 5th). And soooo ready to start shopping for the babies and setting up the nursery.
