10 Weeks

Baby's the size of a prune!


Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks.






How far along? 10 weeks and 1 day


Total weight gain/loss: None so far.  Which is a miracle.  At this point with Mallory, I'm pretty sure I had gained at least 10 pounds.  Crazy, I know.  Thank God this pregnancy is different so far because I'm not sure my body could stand to gain 60 pounds again!

Maternity clothes? I've worn maternity jeans twice.  Not because I need to, just because they are so darn comfy at this point ;-)

Sleep: Good right now.  I'm savoring being able to sleep on my stomach a while longer, it's my favorite position and I know that will be ending soon.

Best moment this week: Really coming out and telling everyone and anyone about this pregnancy.  It's no secret anymore!

Movement: Not yet.

Food cravings: I used to have to have coffee first thing in the morning, now I don't care for it so much.  I want a BIG, cold glass of OJ, LOTS of fruit and last weekend I think I ate more collards than I have in my entire life, ha!

Gender: Not sure yet but I am thinking it's a boy since this pregnancy seems to be different than my last with the weight gain.  Also I did this gender predictor chart and it says boy.  Call me crazy, but this was right with Mallory and I tested 10 other friends as well.  It claims to have a 90% accuracy rate and it was right for 9 out of 10 of my friends!

Labor Signs: No thank you.

Belly Button in or out? It's in for now, hope it stays that way for a while.

What I miss: Drinking sangria with the rest of my family.

What I am looking forward to: Gender ultrasound.  My next appt is Oct 12 and then I am thinking in another 4 weeks after that appt will be my big ultrasound.

Weekly Wisdom: Stay well hydrated.  I started feeling really bad last night and then realized I had hardly drank anything all day.  I'm really good about drinking lots and lots of water while I'm at work, but when I'm home and busy with Mallory it seems to slip my mind.

Milestones: Hearing the hearbeat with the doppler at my next appt.
