Welcome!
Welcome to our pregnancy blog! We hope you'll keep coming back for weekly updates! In case you missed the news, we're expecting! Baby Bonds is due on October 17, 2011. To say that we are excited is an understatement. Today, I am 13 weeks into this very long process. It's hard to believe I've made it 3 months! So far the only issues I've experienced have been morning (noon and night) sickness and just a total loss of energy. Thankfully, the morning sickness went away around 11 weeks and my energy level is getting better (or maybe I'm just getting use to it).
Here's my 13 week picture:
Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 13 weeks (and a few days!)
Gender: unknown until week 20
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Went to the doctor last week and I had lost another 7 pounds. That brings the grand total lost to 13 pounds! However, that won't last for long since my appetite is back!
Maternity Clothes: AMAZING! Mom and I went shopping for new clothes on Tuesday and had a blast! Not to mention, the pants are a billion times more comfortable than my normal ones (that aren't really fitting anymore).
Sleep: Horrible! I guess this is God's way of preparing me for the future. However, I've always demanded my 8 hours of sleep and now it's just impossible to get that! I wake up about 3 times a night to use the bathroom. And, I have a hard time getting comfortable when I first lay down.
What I Miss: Sweet Tea! The lack of caffeine is killing me!!
Cravings: Juice, fresh fruit, anything that is cold!
Symptoms: headaches and loss of energy.
Best Moment of the Week: Technically this happened last week, but since this is my first post I'm going to go ahead and include it. The absolute best moment of the week has been hearing our precious baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was kicking at 150/bpm.
"Baby Change Moment" of the Week: We traded in our truck for a more efficient and practical family car.
