Nine Weeks

How Far Along: 9 Weeks

Size of baby: Our sweet little peanut is the size of a green olive!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I've lost 6 pounds this week due to a wonderful stomach bug my Sunday School students shared with me on Sunday. (This picture was taken before it arrived on Monday.) Before it hit, I did get back to my

  Pregnancy exercise DVD. It makes a big difference with my energy level.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet!

Gender: Daddy really wants a girl. I do too. We'll have to wait until late May to find out! I'm starting to make plans for our gender reveal! We won't be able to have it until mid-June to make sure all of our family can be here, but it will be worth the wait!

Movement: still busy growing, no moving yet.

Sleep: Sleeping hasn't improved. I wake up a lot during the night.

What I miss: Just having the energy to clean the house!

Cravings: This week I've been back to saltines and ginger ale! :(

Symptoms: The metal taste has subsided! :) But this stomach bug has been rough. I am so exhausted, but very grateful for a husband that has picked up my slack to allow me to rest.

Best Moment this week: Going home to MD/PA to spend some time with our favorite people in the world over the weekend! We got back at 2:30 Sunday morning so that explains how tired I looked in this picture when Daniel took it before church!

 Also getting closer to our ten week appointment and maybe getting to hear the heartbeat!
