Baby Bump: Weeks 9-10

How far? Weeks 9-10

What's baby up to?  Baby is probably just over an inch or so long and 0.25 oz!  He/she can stretch and bend a bit now and sweet little arms can rest across the tummy!

Weight gain?  Not really… I do have a little bump by the end of the day though.

Maternity clothes?  No, not yet.

Symptoms?  Holy smokes.  I forgot HOW tired I felt with Ava Kate, but trust me, it's coming back to me now.  I could lay around all day.  Teaching a full week next week is going to blow.  Also, the nausea is pretty bad this time around.  My midwife gave me medicine and it keeps me from throwing up, but I still have nausea.

Sleep?  The nausea medicine actually helps me sleep better, so I'm doing okay on that front!

Food cravings? Not really this week.  Actually, most food doesn't sound very good.  I can manage to eat cold stuff okay.

Food aversions?  Yes.  A lot.  No bagels.  No breakfast.  No donuts.  Nothing that is dense and bread like.  I just can't.  Same as the previous 5 weeks.

Miss anything?  Feeling rested!

I'm feeling… very excited about this year!

Best moment of the week(s)?  Our first appointment went well and we got to hear baby's heartbeat.  It was precious and wonderful.  So sweet.  I also have greatly enjoyed spending time with my sweet little family! Plus a "snow" day of ice that cancelled school on Friday making the first week of the semester last a grand total of ONE day!  Yay for staying home in my PJs with Ava Kate!

Looking forward to... beginning on Ava Kate's big girl room when I get some energy back.
