Count down to baby 1 {9 weeks}

For posterity sake I wanted to post this. I wrote out many more bump updates than I actually published for Cora. Usually because I was too busy or tired to take pictures of my growing bump in the first trimester and I usually wouldn't post if I didn't have the picture. It's been fun for me to look back at these posts from my pregnancy with her verses baby #2.

Date:

3/19/13 - I'm combining a couple of weeks here, I just haven't had the energy to keep up with it like I should.

Due Date:

It moved! We're now due 10/22/13

How far along?:

9 weeks!

Weight Gain:

I'm still down a few pounds. Not keeping food down isn't helping this.

My baby is the size of a:

Green Olive!

Maternity Clothes:

I wore my first maternity dress last week. Not because I needed to, but because I had thrown up on all my other clean clothes and I was desperate! 

Stretch Marks:

None. 

Belly Button In or Out:

In.

Wedding Ring on or off:

On & loose.

Symptoms:

Exhaustion and Nausea/Vomiting are my primary ones.

Cravings: 

Food is pretty revolting to me right now.

I'm really enjoying Clementines though!

Aversions:

Food, lunch meat stinks to me. My sense of smell is amazing, and it's incredible how much I think things stink!

Sleep:

Better than it was, but I'm quickly growing accustomed to the fact that it will never be the same.

I am loving:

Telling Our Family & Friends!

I miss:

Dr. Pepper!

I am looking forward to:

Our next appointment next week.

I'm freaking out about:

How much this baby is going to cost us.

Best moment this week:

It was 2 weeks ago, but our first sonogram!! We got to hear the baby's little heartbeat!

Worst moment this week:

All the vomit escapades! 

If driving and throwing up were an actual skill, I'd be a professional! 

Emotions:

Pretty stressed, we had several unexpected expenses pop up in addition to making pre payments on delivery etc. I'm worried about the fact that we still need to buy a car & a house not to mention the nursery...

Milestones:

The baby is now a fetus! We heard the heartbeat, so statistically our chance of miscarriage dropped dramatically! 

Movement:

None that I can feel but my baby can start moving this week!

It's a...:

Fetus!! We're moving up in the world!

Exercise:

Less than fabulous - I'm really lacking in the energy department!

Diet:

It's good when I can eat & keep it down.

Goals for the upcoming week:

Nothing really baby related, we've got some car repairs that need attention though! *eye roll*

Nursery:

We bought a bassinet!
