Week 10

The end of the first trimester is near and I am so ready.  Pregnancy with a destroyer of worlds toddler is hard work and I am looking forward to hopefully getting some energy back.  Time seems to be moving much more quickly than my last pregnancy.  I guess it helps that instead of reading every pregnancy article on the internet I'm busy with work and family.  I feel much more relaxed this time around and instead of worrying about every little thing I'm trying to enjoy growing a human as much as I can.  This will be our last baby, and my last pregnancy, so instead of spending it thinking about what could go wrong I want to focus on the miracle that is being pregnant.  Of course, I still want to be done with this whole first trimester thing 😉.

How far along? 10 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yes- the bump has arrived!  It no longer only makes a nighttime appearance, but is there when I wake up, can be seen in tight clothing, and forbids me from sleeping on my stomach.  Stretch marks? NoSleep: Vivid dreams are tapering off, although last night I was at camp and had a serious crush on one of the counselors, but besides having to get up and pee I'm sleeping through the night.    Best moment(s) this week: The arrival of the bump. Miss Anything? Beer.. this is the first week I've really missed being able to have a drink, or three.  Movement: I know it's seriously early, but if I'm sitting still in a certain position I can feel movement every now and then.  It doesn't happen all the time, but it definitely feels like a baby kick.
Food cravings:  Besides coke, there's nothing that I have to eat all the time.  It's more like I see something and I want it... like sour patch kids.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really anymore, I've even had salad twice this week!
Gender: One month to go! Labor Signs: NopeSymptoms: Lack of energy, especially in the afternoon and evening, and occassional nausea.  
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? OnHappy or Moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Our announcement photo shoot!
