How far along: 7 weeks
Baby’s size: Blueberry – Your baby, having doubled in size since last week, is as big as a blueberry (about 1/2” in length)
Sleep: Sleep comes and goes. I am up early no matter how early or late I go to bed. I have resorted to occasional naps during the day.
Maternity Clothes: I still fit in my jeans and have been wearing them. The bloat has really gone away, so I am just staying comfortable. I know I will have Darrell pull the maternity clothes out of the attic before the new year.
Food Cravings: No real cravings. I haven’t started eating jars of pickles yet like I did last year, so we shall see when that starts.
Food Aversions: I still can’t eat a lot of sweets and sometimes, the fruit juice I have been drinking makes me nauseous, so I try to limit my intake of those items.
Symptoms I have: I am still tired a lot. Nauseousness is totally an up and down thing. My days of non-puking stopped at 5. :/ But the doctor today gave me some prenatals that should help a little.
Doctor’s Appointment: October 29. We will be going back to Ft. Worth and will be seeing our little sprout again.
Movement: None. But I cannot wait until I can feel Sprout moving. It will really put my mind at ease since Pixel only did a lot of rolling. I am hoping this one is a mover and shaker.
Belly Button: Innie.
Gender: Team Green all the way!
What I’m looking forward to: Getting the NT ultrasound at 12 weeks to make sure there are no neural tube defects noticeable and seeing Sprout in two weeks. (And possibly talking Darrell into a doppler we can use at home to hear Sprout’s heartbeat after about 10 weeks just to ease our minds)
What I miss: Being able to enjoy the pregnancy without feeling anxious. But other than that, I don’t miss anything!
