We thought it would be cute to track the pregnancy, not only in photos of my bump, but with some cute facts about what baby Squish is up to in there along the way. I'm also doing a short questionnaire each week to fill you in on how I'm feeling and what strange symptoms I might be having.
Enjoy!
Size of baby: A sweet pea! Approximately 1/4" and should double in size next week. So tiny!
Weight gain: Nothing yet. I should hope not!
Maternity clothes: Well, I JUST found out a week ago so I haven't bought a thing yet - and I don't need it yet... but I am excited to do some maternity shopping when the time comes!
Gender: We haven't decided yet if we are going to find out or not. I have no "premonition" as to the gender yet. Right now we are still processing the fact that we're expecting a baby at all... and that is SO very exciting.
Nursery: We have had a room in our home dedicated as the "baby room" since before we even started building it. This baby room has been over a year in the making and I can't wait to get my hands on decorating it.
Development / Movement: No movement yet. This week Squish is just starting to sprout a nose, eyes, ears, chin, and cheeks. Adorable.
Sleep: Ohhhh, this explains it. I have been so very exhausted lately. Most afternoons I feel like I've been hit by a truck. I could sleep any time, any where right now.
What I miss: Nothing yet. Just found out and am still so over the moon! I'm actually just starting to read up on some of the things I can't have during this pregnancy, so I'm sure there will be an update on this question in the next few months.
Best moment this week: Finding out that we are having a baby. Duh! It was also fun to host my friends' daughter, Hayden and two of her girlfriends (all 10 years old) for a little girls' night sleepover. We painted our nails, had a hot tub (not me!), watched a movie, and finished off the weekend this morning with a waffle brunch and virgin mimosas. Lovely!
Looking forward to: Everything. A bump, the symptoms, the excitement, the nerves, the reading we'll be doing, the planning, the whole thing! Also looking forward to a visit from my sister, her boyfriend, two of my cousins, and their husbands... that's a house full of 8 of us for a whole week. They arrive in just two weeks' time. I think I'm going to have to tell them early. They'll figure it out in 5 minutes when I turn down a glass of wine. Have I mentioned I love wine?
Cravings: Nothing yet. I am a pretty healthy eater and have been eating my usual.
Symptoms: Sleepy. Very, very sleepy.
Workouts: I've been doing my regular workouts (running, weight training, interval training), so will need to buy a heart rate monitor if I want to keep that up! I've also been salsa dancing but I think I'm going to take a break from that for a little bit.
