Size of baby: Last week (week 8), Squish was the size of a raspberry and this week (week 9), a green olive. Approximately 0.9" and now weighs in a 0.7 ounces!
Weight gain: Same as last check-in.
Maternity clothes: Not yet. Found a t-shirt online that says "Not everything stays in Vegas" which I am totally going to buy (yes, we got pregnant on our anniversary weekend in Vegas so it is PERFECT for me)... but still wearing my own clothes. Bought a few loose blouses while out shopping with the visitors this week, as I am feeling bloated, even though I haven't gained yet. Maxi dresses are also my friend when I'm feeling this way.
Gender: Still feeling like Squish is a girl, but I truly don't have a preference. Trey and I have also decided that we are NOT going to find out the gender prior to delivery!
Nursery: The past week the nursery was used as a guest room for my cousin Katherine and her husband Mike. Now that the visit is over, I'm getting excited to start the nursery. I know it is early, but design is my thing. I can't wait!
Development / Movement: Baby Squish is developing facial features and getting stronger, but no movement!
Sleep: Well, I made it through tons of activities without napping, but I definitely went to bed right after dinner most nights. I'm definitely overdue for some naps. Slept like a baby all week. We've been busy biking, paddle boarding, hiking, shopping, eating, and exploring. I'm not sure how I did it without falling asleep in the middle of the day!
What I miss: Wine. I knew that would happen! It was particularly difficult when we cooked a big Italian feast and ate it on white tablecloths, al fresco, beneath golden globe bulb lights and surrounded by candles and fresh flowers... we cracked a bottle of Chianti from our honeymoon in Italy and I had to get by with just smelling it (haha).
Best moment this week: I could never pick one. The whole visit with Stacey, Stephanie and Joe, Katherine and Mike was totally amazing. There were memories I will never forget! Also our first ultrasound this past Wednesday... We saw the little heart beating and I have to say, our baby is SO cute. Check it out below! Also celebrated our friend Ryan's birthday last night at a great little French bistro called "Pied-à-Terre".
Looking forward to: Getting back to napping (haha). No, seriously. Also looking forward to seeing a new OBGYN this week that my friend (and maternity nurse, Diana) recommended.
Cravings: Still veggie subs. I think I'm eating a little more sugar than I normally would (gelato, froyo, homemade cookies for example), but that might also be because we were entertaining.
Symptoms: Same. Tired. Still no nausea, no vomiting, no other symptoms.
Workouts: We were super active all week with all of the walking, biking, water activities, etc. that we were doing. Still not ready for the gym. Too tired.
