Baby #3: 10 Weeks

This past week has past by quickly! With house guests, time seems to fly. I can't believe I'm 1/4 of the way done with pregnancy. Here are some updates.

About Baby: Size of a kumquat. About an inch long and a quarter of an ounce in weight. Little bitty thing in there still. The baby has finished the most critical stage of development and is now in the fetal stage.

Weight Gain: 1 Pound. No weight gain this week. I'm supposed to gain 5 pounds in the first trimester, but I don't know if that will happen with how sick I have been. But, we will see.

Symptoms: Morning Sickness. This week it has eased up a bit. I had only 2 days of it being pretty rough and it seems to be only a few hours a day. There were 3 days that I felt good all day. I've noticed now it only kicks in when I'm getting hungry, so I make sure to stay fed with a full belly most of the day. This wasn't an option before this week. Eating or not eating... I was nauseous. Exhaustion I'm not sure if the exhaustion is from pregnancy, or from having family staying in my house, either way, I have tried to rest for a while each day, even if it's just on the couch, reclined for a while. However, it is also easing up. I've been able to cook a few dinners... And, been in the mood to cook which hasn't happened for about a month now.

Sleep: Sleep has been good. With morning sickness slowly subsiding I am able to get some more rest. Plus, I'm not uncomfortable yet so I am able to move from one side to the other with ease, unlike in a few months. I've been trying to go to bed an hour earlier than normal to get a little more rest at night. The boys have been exhausted with family in town, so they have been sleeping really well, giving me more rest.

Cravings: None. I'm just excited that food is sounding good again. I guess the only thing that sounds good, or craving is sandwiches like a good club sandwich with toasted bread. Something light on my stomach but still filling and hearty.

Best Moment This Week: Family in town. First Lyndon's parents for Easter then my family for the week. It helped deal with morning sickness. Being able to sit and relax and talk... Keeping my mind off of feeling yucky!

Looking Forward To: The end of my 1st trimester and to feel 100% better. I'm almost there!

10 weeks down. 30 to go! This pregnancy is already going SO fast! And, with how busy we are going to be these next few months, it's only going to go faster!!

Until next week....
