10 weeks

Pregnancy Highlights How Far Along: 10 wks 5 days Size of Baby Smith: Lime! 2 inches and about .3oz!

Maternity Clothes: Not yet! I bought a belly band a few weeks ago because some of my pants are too uncomfortable to button! Gender: No clue :) Everyone says girl...I have a gut feeling it's a boy! Names: We have a few in mind :) Getting Ready: Not really in the least bit. We have been talking with the bank about applying for a home loan, but I think we're going to wait until mid-summer so we can save more and Travis will have his job established. As we have NO idea if we want to build or buy! Movement: Nope, but I can't wait! At our 8 wk ultrasound we saw the baby wiggle slightly! Sleep: Some days are better than others! Besides waking up at LEAST 2 times to go potty (usually at 1-2am and then at 5am-ish), it's been okay! What I Miss: Sleeping on my stomach! Best Moment of the Week: So far, Easter Sunday! Church was great, then my Mom & Dad in law came to Port Lavaca and had lunch with my parents, Travis & I! And my Mom made my birthday cake (a few days early!) It was great! Now...later this week (of course tomorrow is my 26th Birthday!) but Friday we get to leave to go to New Braunfels for the weekend, and Saturday my brother in law (Travis' little brother) is getting married!!! :D So exciting! They are so perfect together!

Food Cravings: It's constantly changing. Lately it's been more of a "I don't want this, this OR this" and it's been me not liking a whole lot of meats. I'm trying hard to eat good but man, it's hard when NOTHING looks or sounds good. I've been loving ICEE's, slushes, snow cones (I think mainly because it's getting so warm already!)

Symptoms: This is a gross one...gagging!!! Bleh!!! I can NOT brush my teeth without gagging and it's SO annoying.

Due Date: Oct 24-26th (keeps changing)




Next Dr. Appointment: Not until April 16th!!! As most of you know there were several complications and I was going every week for an Ultrasound and appointment, well, I was released at my 8 wk appointment to go back to work, but am still taking it very very easy! All has been going good! Well, minus my allergic reaction around day 20 of taking Progesterone shots (in the butt)! I developed a bad rash, so now I'm on the gel until my next appointment. My levels went up from a "7" at the first appointment, to "27" 2 weeks  later, so the shots were VERY effective.





Daddy: Daddy is SUPER supportive. He's such a wonderful and amazing husband to begin with, so patient with me. But he is going to be an awesome daddy! He's always getting me anything I want/need and he says he's having sympathy cravings lol. He is very excited for this little sweet baby!


So, I will try to keep up with this on a weekly basis. I took a picture the other day, but I think at 12 wks or so is when I'll start with the pictures. :)
