Between the last bumpdate and now, it’s been a rough couple of weeks. My anxiety and stress levels have been through the rough. I went from one to three doctors appointments in a week and it was tough, to say the least. More information will come soon but for now, here is my bumpdate.
Weekly Bumpdate
How far along:
9 weeks
How big is baby:
The size of a grape, green olive, what have you.
Weight gain this week (followed by total weight gain for this pregnancy thus far):
0 pounds so far, hopefully, we only go down from here!
Maternity clothes:
In full swing! My tummy can’t fit anything regular anymore.

Sleep:
Sleep has been rough. I have to exhaust myself to fall asleep and sleep through the night peacefully.
Best moment(s) of the week:
Hearing a little heart beat! 182!
Food cravings:
I HAD to have a baked potato the other day.
Food aversions:
Meat, in general, has been very unappealing.

Too early for that but I get little twitchy feelings.
Gender:
I’m going to guess tit’s a girl!
What I’m looking forward to:
The NT test and the DNA test to find out the gender!

I can’t even answer this because it gives me anxiety.

This week, alcohol and wine.
Next appointment:

Congrats on the baby! I remember all of those feelings of stress and anxiety well… and always missed the wine too!
