If you're wondering why I haven't posted any pictures of myself, it's because I'm not showing quite yet!
How far along? 10 weeks
Baby size: Date
Total weight gain/loss: About 3 pounds
Maternity clothes? NopeStretch marks? Nope
Sleep: It seems like I can't ever talk myself into getting out of bed before 9:30am
Best moment this week: Getting a bunch of free baby clothes from my sister! And a car seat and bassinet from my mom! Sweeeeet!
Movement: Not yet!
Food cravings: Sour candy!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Chicken makes me want to gag! Not really queasy unless I don't eat for a while. I feel like I'm eating at least every hour!
Have you started to show yet: Not really, I'm just bloated
Gender: ???
Symptoms: A little tired, headaches every day, nasty dandruff, and lower ab aches (I've been feeling this for a few weeks now)
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: The end of the first trimester. I want my energy back!
This week, bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles, as well as on the arms to form elbows. Baby is also forming teeth buds this week! The Holloway gap may be setting in already; most of my nieces and nephews have it.
Sweet Moments
I was sitting eating breakfast this morning and thinking about what I wanted to get done today. I just got a bunch of baby stuff a few days ago from family members, and I decided that I was going to organize the baby's room today, so that everything wasn't just sitting out. Then I started thinking about the word "maternity." Maternity- maternal- motherhood- mother. Mom. I'm a mom? I'm a MOM! Holy cow! I honestly started to tear up! I feel so young still, I'm only 20, but I am a mother. I have the most wonderful husband in the whole world, and I feel so blessed to be his wife. Thinking about being married still makes me jittery and excited, and on some days, I just sit and think about how unreal this dream is, and how happy I am. And now I'm pregnant, with a human baby coming to us in December, and it just blows my mind even more! And it makes me SO incredibly happy! I may only be twenty years old, but I have the same capabilities as a twenty-seven or thirty year old mom. I have the capability to love with my whole soul, to give all that I have to this baby, even if that means my body. Or my life. I love being a mom already. And even though I can't see my baby on a regular basis, I can't feel or hear or touch my baby, I love him/her sooo much already. I know it's not going to be easy, but I would do anything for this little soul.
