10 WEEKS - Belly Shot

Getting big already at only 10 weeks!??

10 WEEKS - Baby's Size

Your Baby: Week 10 Prune

With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.)

10 WEEKS

Losing a lot of my motivation to work out, do too much, because I'm so so so tired.  The other day I took THREE naps through out the day/early evening.  I really want a huge grande latte whatever from Starbucks filled with caffeine every morning, but have to stick to the decaf coffee.  Second trimester coming soon, so hopefully won't be so tired then, which is in two weeks! 

9 WEEKS - Baby's Size

Your Baby: Week 9

Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby!

9 WEEKS

Still feeling pretty good.  Just sleepy sometimes.  Have not been very hungry like I was with Madilyn.  Sometimes just have to force myself to eat!  The only thing I love to eat now is chocolates, and I really never ever eat chocolates.  I can eat them all day.  I'm thinking I might have the same food aversion as last time, the smell of meat!  Hopefully this will only be a first trimester thing, though.

WEEK 8 - Baby's Size

Your Baby: Week 8

Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

WEEK 8 ... Check-Up

Took Madilyn with me to this appointment, Jason was out of town for work again so just brought her along.  She just chilled out coloring the whole time.  She almost started crying though when they drew my blood.  She told the nurse she had shots in her legs before, and they hurt really bad!  That's when she started to get teary eyed.  Oh, I found out I gained 5lbs in 2 weeks!!!  Yikes!  Next appointment in 4 weeks, and we'll get to see the baby again!

WEEK 8

So far feeling pretty good, still able to exercise/run/walk, no naseau anymore.  Little tired in the afternoons, and having a hard time with my sweet cravings at night!  Madilyn actually found some of my M&M's yesterday and ate a few.  Then she came up to me and said "Mommy, I just ate candy for my baby!" while she was rubbing her tummy.  Now I have to teach her she is too little to have a baby in her tummy.  She has also been telling me my stomach is big, or bigger.  I am definately showing a lot earlier with this baby.  My stomach looks normal in the morning, but definately looks a lot more pregnant by the end of the day.  I have been eating a lot healthier than last pregnancy so far.  With Madilyn my cravings were cheeseburgers, fast food, pizza, everything bad.  So far with this one, I've been craving eggs, vegetables, fruits, and of course chocolates and ice cream at night.  So was suprised to be showing earlier.

Took this old-wives tale quiz, and it says all signs point to GIRL!

Also, looked at the Chinese Gender Chart and it says BOY!  It also said boy with Madilyn. Hmm..
