8 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: When I weighed myself at my parent's yesterday, I had lost 5lbs, but that scale is pretty unreliable.

Maternity clothes: None yet, even though I have been looking for some cute stuff online. I almost bought a pair of shorts, a dress and a shirt yesterday but decided to wait.

Stretch marks? Nope, and I hope I don't get anymore than the ones I got from growing.

Sleep: I've been sleeping good, I am so tired by the time its bed time so I fall asleep really easily, which is especially good when hubby is out of town. However, I usually can't sleep past 8:30am which is odd for me.

Best moment this week: Well nothing much has gone on this week but last week we did get to see our little baby and see the heartbeat.

Movement: Can't feel anything YET!


Food cravings: Lucky charms and cake.

Gender: Don't know yet. Hoping for a little girl but I have a feeling its a boy.

Symptoms: fatigue, frequent urinating and sore boobies. 

Labor Signs: Hope not

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

What I miss: nothing really.

What I am looking forward to: Monday <3 we get to have another  ultrasound and hopefully hear the babies heartbeat this time.

 Weekly Wisdom: Drink LOTS of water and try not to take naps or you'll be groggy all day long.

I didn't post last week because I was so busy and tired. However, we got some good news. On 2/13/12 at 6 weeks 4 days, we went in for another ultrasound because we didn't see much the week before.Well, this time we saw our little pumpkin and it's lil heartbeat. The heart rate was 118bpm. It was so exciting. I cannot wait to see the progress of growth and hear the heartbeat this coming Monday at 9 weeks 4 days. Here is a picture of our little one from 2/13/12.

I've been playing around with gender prediction tricks. So far the Chinese gender chart, ring test, and possibly the placenta placement theory all point towards a little boy. I am unsure where the placenta is exactly so that's why I am not positively sure on it.





6 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: I don't think any yet. BUT I sure am bloated so who knows.

Maternity clothes: None yet, far too soon

Stretch marks? Nope, and I hope I don't get anymore than the ones I got from growing.

Sleep: That's all I want to do. I think I've slept at least 15 of the last 24 hours. I really need to get up and go for a walk but its so cold lately. I hate the cold.

Best moment this week: This week was a hard week. We were so excited for our first doctors appointment but it didn't turn out too well. Everything was going great until we got our ultrasound. They did not see anything, but my blood work was good. I am trying to stay hopeful. I probably aren't quite six weeks yet. Who knows, we will find out Monday when we have another ultrasound if everything is progressing the way it should. My hCG level was 20,136 that day so that is good and had more than doubled from my previous one. So that is a good sign.

Movement: Can't feel anything YET!


Food cravings: This week I've experienced a lot of food aversions. Nothing sounds good and I can not eat anything until I find something I want. Like chips and salsa from El Tapitio (which I did make my hubby go get one night at 9PM). AND guacamole chicken burgers, which we got at almost 10PM another night. haha.

Gender: Don't know yet

Symptoms: exhausted. Food aversions. The start of morning sickness. Bloated.

 

Labor Signs: Hope not

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

What I am looking forward to: Monday, when we have our second ultrasound. Hoping and praying we see baby and the heartbeat.

Stretch marks? Nope, and I hope I don't get any!

Sleep: That's all I want to do. We've only know for about a week now so at first I had a million things running through my head which made it hard to sleep but now I'm sleeping great.

Best moment this week: Telling our parents their gonna be grandparents.We made them cute lil canvas paintings and handed them to them and  they got it right away. My mom cried and had to call her mom, my dad wasn't sure what to think but now he is super excited.Cameron's mom jumped in glee while his dad cried. It was neat to see all the reactions. Here is a picture of the signs  we gave them.

What I am looking forward to: Our first prenatal appointment on Tuesday (: we already had a confirmation blood test and my hcg levels checked. They were good at the first draw (1615) but haven't got my results from the second draw since everything was closed yesterday due to it snowing like 2 feet. No joke.

 Weekly Wisdom: Drink LOTS of water!

Extremely bloated to the point that I look like I'm showing.
