10 weeks, 1/4 of the way through

10 weeks




How far along? 10 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Still sitting right around my prepregnancy weight.
Maternity clothes? A few dresses, but mostly I just stick to wearing the few pairs of pants I have that actually fit. I really should just go buy a few pairs.
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: I sleep great, but it just feels like I never get enough anymore. I'm always exhausted. I used to be a morning person, but lately I just cannot get moving in the mornings no matter what I do.
Best moment this week: we had our first ultrasound/appointment. Everything looked perfect. Baby was measuring right on track and had a strong heart beat that was the first thing I saw on the machine. It was impossible to miss and was at 174 bpm. The doctor let us listen for a bit and it was beautiful. I'm still a little scared to get really excited, but seeing things looking so good a full week passed the point that baby stopped growing last time is encouraging to me.
Miss anything? Eating raw cookie dough. My super comfy bed.
Movement: I've had a few bubbles that maybe could have been movement, but probably aren't.
Food cravings: This week I haven't really had any cravings that I can think of.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I've started getting a little more sick in the evenings, I think mostly just on days that I haven't eaten or had enough to drink in the mornings.
Have you started to show yet: I think I am some. Not enough that anyone would assume I'm pregnant though.
Gender: I want to know so bad!!! I feel like I bond so much more with the baby once I know and have a name picked out!
Labor signs: Nope. Hopefully I have about 29 weeks before that happens.
Bell button in or out? IN!
Wedding rings on or off? On still.
Happy or moody most of the time: More moody than I probably should be. I just have a very short temper because I'm so exhausted all the time.
Looking forward to: We are buying a house so I'm looking forward to that going through and planning our nursery. I'm also looking forward to our next appointment in August in 3 weeks so I can finally feel like we are safe and then we can plan an announcement. That's the hardest part of a pregnancy after the kind of miscarriage that I had, because I don't trust anything anymore. Like I saw a strong obvious heartbeat this week and I just can't trust that that means things are good now since we saw a heart beat last time. I'm just really looking forward to seeing a heartbeat (or hearing one) at the point that we are farther along than the day I found out with the last baby.

  • Baby has working arm joints, and her cartilage and bones are forming.
  • Her vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function.
  • Her fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too.
  • Plus, she's swallowing and kicking in there. (Can you believe it?!)
Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks.
