8 & 9 Weeks

Wow! I can't believe how fast the time has gone!  I am now just over 9 weeks pregnant.  Haven't had time to blog with all of the visiting we have been doing, so I apologize for missing a week.

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.
