How Far Along: 9 weeks
Total Weight Gain: None so far - and thank goodness!
Maternity Clothes: None.
**sidenote: I did shop with my mom today and bought a few tunics and some larger pants that I think will last me for another month or two. I'm a little nervous about the unknown when it comes to shopping. It's no secret that I'm a complete and total shopaholic (thanks, Mom). This whole body transformation is really freaking me out. I hope I can contain the urge to buy every cute maternity top I see!
Sleep: All I want to do is sleep. All day. Every day.
Best Moment(s) this week: Seeing my college friends and telling them the big news. I really could not ask for a better group of friends and I feel so incredibly blessed that they will be a part of this baby's life. They are going to make such wonderful aunts/uncles/rolemodels for our little Monkey!
Gender: The Chinese gender chart says boy. AW says boy. MS says boy. KH is hoping for a girl.
Movement: Monkey Butt is only the size of an olive - no movement yet!
Food Cravings: I see food. I eat food.
Symptoms: Since this is my first real "pregnancy post", I'm going to go ahead and recap all of the symptoms I've had so far.
*Sore boobs - Oh. My. God. They were huge to begin with. They are bigger now. They might never stop growing. And they feel like someone used them as a punching bag. Just shoot me now.
*Cramps - Wtf. I thought this was a period symptom? I'm trying to ease the pain by saying my uterus is growing every time they rear their ugly head. So far this hasn't made them hurt any less, but I'll keep trying.
*Bi-polar disorder - Yeah. Can you say crazy? One day I come home crying because I feel like my life is over (we are talking major mascara run, can't chew my food because I can't stop crying), and the next day I can't wait to meet this little monkey. I feel like I've lost my mind! I am so lucky though, Jake has been fantastic. He has been so patient and wonderful and understanding of the crazy. Best. Husband. Ever.
*Hunger - I am so lucky I haven't been sick. But I do start to feel the nausea coming on when I haven't eaten anything. Hence, the never-ending supply of food to my mouth. Yikes.
What I Miss: Is it even a shock that I'm going to say beer and wine? Come on...it's so not fair. Especially when Summer Shandy just hit the shelves!
What I am Looking Forward to: Jake and I are going for an ultrasound on Tuesday. It will be my first one, and I'm really anxious about them finding a heartbeat! I can't wait to hear Monkey Butt's little heart racing :)
