9 weeks!

              Taken just now, 

   My mirror doesn't look this dirty

                 in real life...

How Far Along: 9 weeks 4 days 

Weight gain/loss: Same at home (175) and 178 at the doctor last week with a sweatshirt on. 

Feeling: Good, not that tired and my nausea has subsided. I can eat pretty much anything now but I get full fast. 

Maternity Clothes: Still just maternity leggings.

Sleep: Much better than the past couple weeks, I fall asleep easily and stay asleep more.

Cravings: Not really much of anything.

Movement: Far too early.

Best Moment this week: Not sure, haven't had anything fun go on really and since I don't have my first real drs appointment until next week or another u/s anytime soon, it's just same old life! 

7 weeks and Follow Up U/S!

 Our FB Announcement

How Far Along: 7w 6d

Weight gain/loss: lost a couple pounds, I was 174 this morning

Feeling: I've been pretty good, the nausea has lightened some and I have pretty much no cramping (which I am definitely NOT complaining about!!) I am still fairly tired most of the time, but overall it's been an easy week

Maternity Clothes: Still just maternity leggings, I plan to start wearing more maternity clothes in a few weeks though so I washed all mine.

Sleep: It's been okay, horrible the night before my u/s of course, and I wake up several times in the night but I did that before I was pregnant anyway.

Cravings: :Loaded Potato Grillers from Taco Bell. If you haven't had one OMG, get one.

Movement: Far too early.

Best Moment this week: Seeing our little baby and heartbeat on the u/s!! I had a student with a tech again this time and the student had absolutely no idea what she was doing. So the measuring of my ovaries and uterus and all that jazz that normally takes 10 minutes tops, took over 20 minutes and I couldn't see the screen to see if there even was a baby. Finally the tech got annoyed with the student and took over to show us the baby (she says just one, but with the student sucking, I'm not 100% convinced). The baby is measuring a couple days behind my LMP DD, and about a day behind my O-day DD so pretty darn close! Had a beautiful heartbeat of 146 and looked perfect. I'm so so excited.

I also tried my doppler (well have been since Monday, to no avail) and I finally picked up a little blip yesterday morning. Tried to find it again last night and right when I turned the doppler on, there it was! I was so impressed!! I was only 7w 3-5d, so that is just crazy early to hear the heartbeat!!

Week 6 Survey

Forgot to do the 5 week one last week, oh well!


How Far Along: 6 weeks today!

Weight gain/loss: Right around the same, 175.8lbs

Feeling: Meh, I feel fine overall it seems, but I am so tired All. The. Time. I get waves of slight nausea but mostly just nothing sounds good and as soon as I start eating something I could be done with it. I've been drinking Coke, I think I get most of my caloric intake from that...

Maternity Clothes: Just my maternity leggings. I'm quite bloated and my regular pants don't want to button anymore. I also wear a lot of baggie sweatshirts for fear of my gut hanging out and people wondering what the hell has happened to me.

Sleep: Pretty crappy. Despite being very tired, I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I'm constantly in a state of worry, but not crazy worry, just anxious worry.

Cravings: Not really much of anything.

Movement: Far too early.

Best Moment this week: Probably getting my 3rd beta back, 3014! This even trumped my u/s I had on Thursday, I was disappointed even though I knew exactly what to expect and we saw exactly what we should that early, I was still hoping for more.

I was 5w 5d (I really wish I'd have been patient and waited until early this next week, hindsight is 20/20) gestational sac measured 5w 4d, which is perfect based on O-day. Saw yolk sac, no fetal pole and of course no baby or heartbeat. It was a student tech that performed the u/s and a few minutes from being done her tech came in to check how it was going. They both fiddled and looked really hard to see if they could locate a pole but came up short, neither was concerned. Then when they were just about done, the student said "Is that two?" The tech looked, had her scan through again and said "Hmm, we'll check next time" and then finished up. I can't believe I didn't ask what the "two" was she was referring to, but I didn't. And I've been speculating and wondering ever since. I didn't get a picture, and only got to look at the screen for a minute or two. DH watched the whole time so I asked him what he saw...he's been less than helpful :-/ I've looked up some different twin u/s pictures that looked like what I saw on the screen (I know I saw *something* partially behind and next to the gest. sac, but then the student zoomed in and I lost view) He said he saw a few times that looked like the twin pictures I showed him. Just makes me speculate more. HMPH.

What I'm looking forward to: My next u/s on March 14th! Two weeks away, but we will definitely be able to see baby and heartbeat and definitely find out if there are twins in there! In the mean time, I'll just continue to lose my mind.
