9 weeks

How far along? 9 weeks!

Total weight gain: again...probably none. (pre-pregnancy weight 142 lbs)

Maternity clothes? nope. but still livin in sweats and hoodies.

Sleep: not good. i think because i've been feeling so sick i have had a hard time falling asleep and then when i wake up in the middle of the night i often feel like throwing up (and sometimes do) and then have to choke some crackers down before attempting sleep again.

Best moment this week: when scarlett came upstairs and gently woke me up from a nap (i was actually already mostly awake) by cupping my face with her little hands and her big eyes right in front of mine saying things like "i wanted to see you. you will be ok momma. babies will be here soon and you will feel better. me and daddy make pancakes for babies. ok i go downstairs now. but i will come back! i love you!" with lots of kisses. she actually does stuff like that a lot but it was much needed that day.

Worst moment this week: pick a time i puked. i've been pretty miserable this week. so grateful for a super duper helpful, patient husband.

Miss anything? i miss not wanting to puke every 5 minutes.

Cravings: fried rice with soy sauce! I had a night when I couldn't stop thinking about it but Alex was sick...but he made me some the next night and I could barely eat it :( .... i just eat what i can tolerate. crackers and baked potatoes and popsicles.

Symptoms: extreme nausea. more throwing up than last week. fatigue. and a headache thrown in there once in a while.  

Looking forward to: probably the same as last week -- feeling like myself again. but also i can't wait to start showing and actually feel pregnant in that sense!

  1. So happy that you're pregnant!! So sad that you're sick!!! Morning sickness is the WORST. Doesn't matter how much you wanted that pregnancy. Puking is the PITS. Hoping you get relief soon enough!!
