Week 9

Week: 9 and 4 days

P Size: About the size of a strawberry:)

Total Weight Gain/loss: +1

Stretch Marks: none

Maternity Clothes?: Yep, crazy I know! But my work pants sit at really bad places on my tummy and cause it to hurt when sitting down most of the day. So I went and got three pairs of work pants that will hopefully last for a few months if not till the end:) All my jeans still fit since they all sit really low on my hips.

Sleep: Not so tired all day now! That is exciting and I seem to be sleeping better through the night. I still have to wake up at least once to pee though, but can go right back to sleep!

Movement: too small, but saw it on the ultra sound!

What I Miss: Warren still since he came and went so quickly! Also not having headlights ALL THE TIME! It is really crazy!!

Status of the Button: Very In

What I'm Looking Forward to: Warren coming home and the 12 week appt.

Best Moment this Week: Seeing our little P for the first time and hearing the little heart beating away!

Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: Boobs are not that sore anymore...still tender but not super sore. I also think I have a belly pooch that is round. I have only gained a pound so I am not sure if I am imagining it or not.

P Milestones: The arms and legs are longer, and the fingers might be a little swollen where the touch pads are forming. The head is more erect and neck is more developed. Your baby now moves its body and limbs, and this movement can be visible during an ultrasound, but you won't be able to feel it yet.

Food Cravings: Dairy and tacos.

How's the W?: He left again on Tuesday the 20th to go work in Unalakleet and is not due to return until the end of August! I am sad but it is better than no work...I guess. He has been working late so we have missed each other online the last two nights since my bed time is a little early. He was excited to be here for the first ultra sound.
