Week10: Prune

I feel like I'm looking more and more bloated in these photos :)  Aaron kept asking if I was pushing out (I told him when we started I didn't want to exaggerate).  I kept telling him I wasn't.  

How big is baby: The size of a prune.  I'm ready to move on from this week.  In first grade, I had a little issue with going to the bathroom and got quite backed up.  One of my mom's attempted remedies was making me eat prunes :(  To this day, I hate them and don't even want to look at them.    

Weight gain/loss:  1 lb

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Sleeping very well and actually starting to feel like a human again.  I can actually make it past 9pm.  Granted, we're talking maybe only 9:30 or 10 but hey, baby steps right?

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Still not feeling fabulous late afternoon/at night.  I'm ok though as long as I snack.   

Exercise:  Doing much better here too.  Going to the gym, walking, etc.  I just feel so much better after I do it.

Gender: We'll find out in October!

Movement: No.

The belly:  It's definitely bigger at night.  I have certain work pants I can't even attempt to wear normally (i need to bust out the bella band more often).   

What I'm spazzing about:  The fact that we don't go back to the doctor until week 14, May 2.  That seems so far away :(  I know I need to get used to it though.  The appointments will only be monthly for the first 7 months.  I just have serious anxiety issues and always think the worst is going to happen.  I have to have faith that everything is going to be fine and there has been nothing so far that has pointed to there being a problem.  

What I'm loving:  No more spotting!  Knock on wood, but it's finally completely gone for now.  

Symptoms:  Tired, sick at the end of the day.   

What I'm looking forward to:  Starting to finally tell people.  Our parents are first up tomorrow night :)  I told Aaron the whole rest of the lineup after that.  

Best moment of the week:  Seeing the baby again!  The OB's u/s machine wasn't as high tech as the RE's so everything looked a little smaller.  But we were able to have an abdominal u/s which means baby is getting bigger!  She was kicking her little legs away like crazy again :)

We LOVE our new OB office.  There are 4 doctors and 1 PA that you rotate between.  The doctor we saw yesterday was so nice.  She was very thorough, made sure to answer all of our questions, and did not rush us at all.  I know we are going to be really happy there.
