Goodbye lime, Hello plum baby! (11 weeks, 6 days)

Have you started to show yet? "Dee Dee", as we should start to call my mother, came with me to my ultrasound/ 1st Dr. appointment since Dustin was out of town. They lifted up my top to do the ultra sound and my mother said "Oh, there is a tiny belly under there!" The ultrasound nurse said, "that looks like a belly?" haha. I'm glad I'm still small, but excited to feel my baby once he/she are big enough.

Total weight gain: (99.8lbs.) I'd say around 6 pounds total and that is with a full stomach mid day. I hope I can try and eat as healthy as possible to make sure I don't gain as quickly in my upcoming second trimester. But baby needs to be healthy!

Food cravings:No major cravings, but I always have an appetite for fresh cut fruit and berries.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I made some pad Thai noodles last night and just couldn't eat them. The steamed veggies I had along with them had this gross butter sauce on them that made them nasty.

Miss Anything? Coffee and Sushi of course, but I got a taste of some chicken asparagus sushi at Jasmine's when we went to dinner while at PCB last week.

Mood: I have noticed how crazy my hormones can be. I started to get upset with Dustin when we were out late partying. I couldn't drink of course so I was just feeling left out and very sober around my drunk husband. Honestly, I just shouldn't be staying out past 11pm tops. I'm a momma now after all. :)

Sleep:  I sleep much better when Dustin is out of town, but I told him the other day that we really need to get a king size bed after we have been spoiled from hotels that have them.

Best moment this week: I can't really say yet, since it is only Tuesday! I know the best thing will probably still be when I got to see my baby jump around today, and hearing the heartbeat made me know that everything was going to be okay.  

Annoyances: I just don't have anything to wear. I have clothes, but they are for very cold weather or for hot summer, and it is fall and I need an in between. Plus my pants are uncomfortably tight, spare 2 pairs and my tops are too small!

Maternity Clothes? I've ordered a maternity cardigan that I can maybe wear even bump free. I bought a non maternity jersey dress that I hope will stretch with my belly. I'm searching for more cause one dress and a cardigan isn't going to cut it.

Movement: Other than what I saw on the ultrasound, no movement that I can feel.

Gender prediction: My mother said when we saw the baby, that "he/she" looked like me only because we shared the same favorite position of holding her hand to her face, i guess for comfort. So "Dee Dee" is thinking girl, but everyone in Dustin's family, except Tamera has told me they think Boy. I honestly think I know sometimes, but lately I truly do not know at all. And honestly I have no preference. I am very excited for a healthy, cute bundle of love!!

Looking forward to: Dustin comes home tomorrow and I am excited to go pick out a pumpkin or 3 with our baby brother and sister at the corn maze this week! 

Week Number????

Here is my little zygote! I was supposed to be 7 weeks 4 days, today, but this ultra sound shows otherwise, I may only be 4-5 weeks! I'm not sure how that is possible since I found out about my pregnancy over 2 weeks ago.. I think I am 5 weeks 5 days today, because according to my calender it is practically impossible I got pregnant any later than that unless Dustin's sperm lives for a whole week!

How far along: 4-5 weeks is what the nurses are saying, I think 5 weeks 5 days

Total weight gain: well at my doctor appointment I weighed 99.2 with clothes on and a big breakfast in me, I usually weigh around 94-96 so I pray I didn't truly gain that much weight just yet!

Sleep: I haven't been sleeping well at night, we defiantly need to think about getting a bigger bed in the house, but I do seem to take lots of naps throughout the week.  

Best moment of the week: Chloe's 21st birthday party at Jollie Ollies on Saturday was great, but Sunday was a nice day at two foot! I think two foot wins! We went out with River dog, Brachel, and Sam & Holly. Chloe, Steph, and Hayley jumped on with us for awhile too. We had to be good Samaritans and help out a family that ran out of gas on the lake!? But it worked out since they gave us 20 dollars and we used it on Mexican food, yummy!

Miss anything: I miss being thin, I feel like a fat cow already and I have such a far way to go! I mean I am not even at the embryo stage, yikes! 

Food Cravings: Coconut waters and marinara sauce, haha!

Sick or queasy?: We grilled out some chicken at Dylan's pool party for Crazy J. Seeing the pink raw chicken made me loose my appetite real fast, but i managed to eat some. 

Gender predictions?: I really, really, really hope and keep praying that we have a baby girl! I need some sweet female connection in my life since my mother is going insane and I want a sweet little princess to be best friends with. Of course Dustin wants a boy, but then I would be pushed to the wayside if we had a boy, I don't know how I would handle it.. I do pray that I will be happy with whatever God has chosen to bless out family with.

Looking forward to: Actually having a true baby belly instead of all this belly bloating! I hate that other people probably just think I am getting fat, but I want to be like, "NOT FAT, just preggers!"

So the word is out..

I have some very exciting news to share and I accidentally hinted as to what it is on FB. I'm kind of disappointed that MY news is being guessed at by others, which is spoiling the whole announcement for me! But it is my own fault, self foul.. oops!

The mother will be coming in town Saturday. She is finally going to be moving near to me! I can't even wait.. so excited!

And the Hubs is coming home from out of town work tomorrow. I am so blessed right now and I feel really loved! Hopefully I'll be able to make my announcement soon!
