I hit 10 weeks!

I haven't' been feeling the best, plus thursday, friday, and saturday I was helping to run a garage sale. We didn't do too bad, and may even throw another one next year. (probably earlier in the year though, it was too dang hot most days to even move.) But I should have updated Friday, due to that being my official 10 week mark!
In lieu of my disgraceful forgetfulness I am updating now.

How far along? 10 Weeks, 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: loss = 15lbs

Sleep: much better than last week, although still getting some tossing and turning. 

Best moment this week: Husband and I have picked out full names for both sexes, so now we just need to wait another 8 weeks or so until we know for sure. 

Movement: I hope soon, but not so far.

Symptoms: nausea, hiccups, little bit of hormonal crazy and bitchiness. 

Symptoms I don't have: I haven't thrown up this week, which is nice.

Food Cravings: Mostly ice water, although I'm craving sweets more than I normally would. 

Food Aversions: Still not a fan of the egg smell, although I'm getting over it.

Gender: Kinda hoping for another girl, but wouldn't be unhappy with a boy.

Labor Signs: thank God, no.

Belly Button in or out? still normal.

What I miss: no nausea.....

What I'm looking forward to: baby's first kick.

Weekly Wisdom: Enjoy dancing in the rain. (yes I did that on Saturday when we got that evening rain)

Milestones: Baby is starting to move in the womb, and is now the size of a kumquat.

What you have all been waiting for!

Here is the little peanut, my adorable little Dragon baby.
At the time this was taken I was 8 weeks and 5 days. Here is a closer look without the heartbeat
Dragon is an adorably tiny little sucker, but they told me I'll be due around February 13, 2014. 

But, in true pregnant fashion, I am going to put up one of those awesome pregnancy question answer things every week, starting today! (Aren't you all so luck)

How far along? I am 9 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: I've lost 9 lbs. So kind of on par with my last pregnancy.

Sleep: Nightmares lately, but I'm getting naps in the middle of the morning when loki takes hers. 

Best moment this week: No further spotting! And the cramping seems to be slowing down by a lot. 

Movement: Dragon's moving (we saw an arm wave on the sono) but I just can't feel it yet.

Symptoms: Nausea, morning sickness lasting till lunch, including losing everything I ate, and some I didn't. And Hiccups (weird symptom, I know.)

Symptoms I don't have: No more spotting for me!

Food Cravings: None really so far. 

Food Aversions: Eggs, I hate the smell of eggs. 

Gender: No idea yet, although I keep thinking of the baby as male.

Labor Signs: Good Lord I hope not.

Belly Button in or out? Still normal, probably will stay that way for a while. 

What I miss: Not being nauseous

What I'm looking forward to: Not being nauseous. And also the first movements. 

Weekly Wisdom: Husband thinks this child is not a ginger, due to all the pain and how much harder this first few months have been. He says I'm in so much pain because this child is growing a soul, and me being a kind of ginger myself it's hurting me since I don't have a soul myself.

Milestones: Morning sickness is a definite check. Getting to see Dragon and hear the heartbeat at the first Doctors apt was amazing.

For-ev-Ver

I know it's been awhile since I wrote. Sorry, life tends to get me busy and I kind of forget about everything else. But I promise, tomorrow I'll post some pictures of the sonogram and details about my pregnancy. Tonight though, we'll play a little bit of catch up.

Good news: I have a job. Right now I'm working part time minimum wage at a video store. It kinds sucks at times, but it's something, the plan is for me to work until we have caught up with bills and pulled a little ahead and then I'll be enrolling in phlebotomy classes.
Husband is attending job fairs and trying extremely hard to find a permanent job. I'm very proud of how hard he's looking and trying for this family.

In not so fun news, our relationship with Sweetheart ended. I don't really want to talk about it much yet, but we are going to try to remain friends. At the beginning of August Sweetheart will be moving back to her hometown. As sad as the parting is, I do believe it's for the better.
We just didn't all want the same things.
