HOW I'M FEELING     the nausea is slowly slowly going away.  still so tired.

WHAT I'M EATING     starting to have a bigger variety.  still not really into raw veggies.  fruit is good.

HOW I'M CHANGING     eh.  just bloaty.

MOVEMENT     n/a

SLEEP     still sleeping alllllllll the time.  i can't get enough.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     i'm a little behind on updating, and i cannot remember!

LOOKING FORWARD TO     we have an ultrasound next week, which is kind of nervewracking since it will be one of those "test for abnormalities" ones, but excited to see how baby has changed!

FUN FACT     baby has fingers and toes that aren't webbed!

BABY'S SIZE     a prune!

WEIGHT GAIN     normal ups and downs, as far as i can tell.

HOW I'M FEELING     less and less nausea.  woo hoo!

WHAT I'M EATING     carbs carbs carbs.  and some fruit and protein here and there.  i have such intentions to try and eat veggies, but when i see them my guts just cry.

MOVEMENT     n/a

SLEEP     still sleeping the days away.  ready to be motivated for things.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     getting to officially tell people at work

LOOKING FORWARD TO    i have this idea in my head about the official "reveal."  it involves stockings.  i'm trying to muster the energy to get out our christmas stuff (which suddenly doesn't seem so vital since we already had thanksmas) and find the stockings.  maaaaaybe it will happen.  maybe something will get stolen from pinterest instead...

FUN FACT     baby's vital organs are fully developed and starting to function.

3. dec

BABY'S SIZE     a green olive!

WEIGHT GAIN    just my normal ups and downs.  it's hard to really measure when my days and nights are so off with work.

HOW I'M FEELING     the nausea is becoming less and less, thank goodness!!

WHAT I'M EATING     still lots and lots of carbs.  they just feel so nice on my guts.  i had some barley/beef/veggie soup that was FULL of veggies, which i was really nervous about.  but it tasted soooooo good.  i'm still dreaming about it.

HOW I'M CHANGING     feeling bloaty, but nothing much otherwise.

MOVEMENT     n/a

SLEEP     i'm so tired.  and i'm sleeping so much on my off days that when i wake up my body hurts....  and i still can't seem to stop.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     surprising our parents!  spending the week in wyoming.

LOOKING FORWARD TO     our next appointment to find more things out.

FUN FACT     baby is no longer considered an embryo.  we officially have a fetus!

BABY'S SIZE     a raspberry!

WEIGHT GAIN     n/a

HOW I'M FEELING     still with the nausea.  some cramping too, off and on.

WHAT I'M EATING     lots of carbs.

HOW I'M CHANGING     n/a

MOVEMENT     n/a

SLEEP     so. so. so tired still.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS WEEK     thanksgiving!  i survived!  i was feeling terrible when we got to kate's house, probably because i hadn't eaten.  for the record, i worked the night before and slept until 2.  but i ate some all the chips and salsa and somehow i felt amazing.  and ate all the thanksgiving things.  even veggies!  even pie!

LOOKING FORWARD TO   thanskmas!  although i just realized it is next week and i have zero gifts for anyone.  amazon prime it is.

FUN FACT  baby is moving its arms and legs like crazy!





i just looked over at oni and thought she was a bunny.

7 weeks

starting now (well, from week 7...) :  a weekly update about all things preggie.  and by all things, i mean me, and this little baby o mine.  and arley's.  and all the craziness that is BOUND to come up.

19. nov

BABY'S SIZE     a blueberry

WEIGHT GAIN   zero pounds, as far as my scale can tell (i'm normally up and down a pound or two, so who really knows?)

HOW I'M FEELING     the.  very.  worst.  nausea all the time, all week.  it's the very worst between 0500 and 0730 on mornings that i'm working.  drinking lots of water helps.  ginger ale helps too.  i've been researching the ginger ales with the most ginger in them, as ginger is supposed to be a big one for helping nausea.  so far, the winner is reed's.  still haven't bought any.

WHAT I'M EATING     many many english muffins.  lots of cream of wheat.  some bread/rolls.  tiny bits of protein, but mostly protein of all kinds sounds pretty awful.  fruit is off and on.  and salad dressing sounds absolutely terrible.  so not many veggies.

HOW I'M CHANGING     i haven't noticed any physical changes yet.

MOVEMENT     apparently this happens about week 20 (ish).  i'll keep you posted.

SLEEP     i am so.  tired.  i want to sleep all the time.  and kind of have been.  i've had to skip my lunches at work (i still eat) so that i can use my 30 minutes to take a nap.  but apparently right off the bat your kidneys start working double-time, so i have to get up super often to pee.  bummer.

FAVORITE THINGS THIS last WEEK     we had a dating ultrasound since things are not on schedule for me.  from dates and things, they were thinking i was at 9 weeks.  according to the ultrasound on tuesday i was 6 weeks and 5 days.  and we got to hear the heartbeat.  and learn our due date.

LOOKING FORWARD TO     thanksgiving!  but nervous about the nausea...

FUN FACT     baby is generating about 100 new brain cells each minute!
