Had our first doctor's appointment yesterday and she assures us that I am healthy and that everything should be fine with baby. Of course, you can't really tell at this point because we haven't had an ultrasound and it is too early to hear baby's heart beat... but good to have reassurance from the doc. I'm actually down about 2 lbs from my usual weight. Could just be because I haven't had as much of an appetite as I normally do. On another note, I don't love the doctor I've been seeing and am looking for a new OBGYN stat.
Size of baby: A blueberry. Just over 1/2".
Weight gain: Down 2 lbs
Maternity clothes: Not yet. Still rocking my usual summer gear - shorts, tanks, and maxi dresses!
Gender: Had a dream that we had twin girls. Can you imagine??!!
Nursery: The room that will be the nursery is currently functioning as a guest room. It is quite a pretty shade of extra-pale violet. I haven't decorated it the way I normally would because in my mind it has always been meant to be a nursery. Once our guests of next week head home, we may start thinking about changing it up. It is still early, of course!
Development / Movement: Baby Squish is just starting to form arm and leg joints and won't be moving for a while yet.
Sleep: Yeah, I'm still sleepy. Beyond sleepy. Exhausted. I need naps just about every day. Brutal!
What I miss: Nothing yet. Visited with my girlfriend Nasreen on Monday. Glad it was during the day so I didn't have to explain my not having a glass of wine!
Best moment this week: Having our first doctor's appointment was kind of exciting! I also met with a new design client and chose paint colours for his yaletown condo.
Looking forward to: The visit from my cousins/sister and the boys! We have a crazy fun week planned. I'm a little concerned about this extreme exhaustion I've been feeling and being able to get through all of the activities we have lined up without napping, but it is totally worth it! Also really looking forward to breaking the news to the 6 of them. Love these guys!!
Cravings: So, weird.... veggie subs from Subway. I suppose if my cravings can be half-healthy, I'm not doing so bad just yet.
Symptoms: Exhaustion. If I wake up at 8am, I'm back to sleep by 10:30, up over mid-day, then back to bed from about 2-5pm. Trey comes home some days from work and I'm still in bed. It is ridiculous! Can't complain, though - I have yet to have any nausea/morning sickness.
Workouts: I haven't had the energy to hit the gym. The most activity I have been able to manage is walking the dogs.
