Baby #3: 9 Weeks

9 Weeks down! This is going by so fast. I can't believe another week has gone by.

Here are some updates about this week...

About Baby: Size: Grape

Weight Gain: 1 Pound. Currently 115. I haven't gained any weight since last week, I think morning sickness is a reason for this.

Symptoms: Morning Sickness is at its peak this week. I tried the acupressure bands and they didn't do much. A few days ago I sat in the bathroom for almost 1/2 and hour thinking I was going to lose my lunch. Thankfully I didn't. The doctor told me I should start feeling better since I am at the peak of morning sickness. Fingers crossed that's true. He gave me a prescription of some morning sickness meds. I haven't used them yet, but I'm glad I have them just in case. Peppermint tea has helped some and eating small meals. But, I usually have a few hours a day where I can barely handle it. The exhaustion is intense right now. I've explained to the boys that mommy is super tired and they have done pretty well letting me rest during the afternoon. Thank goodness for ABCMouse.com!

Sleep: I still have been waking up in the middle of the night and lay there for a while before falling back to sleep. But, I have been sleeping pretty well. I'm exhausted by the end of the day, so I look forward to laying down at the end of the day.

Cravings: Iced Tea. I make my own, decaf! I have been adding one bag of peppermint tea which calms my stomach. Plus, it helps stay hydrated! Other than drinks, I'm not craving any types of foods. I craved a bacon cheeseburger a few days ago, and that was when I sat in the bathroom about the puke. So, I haven't craved that since.

Best moment this week: Seeing the baby again!!!! I had an ultrasound. I was worried since last time we didn't see a heartbeat. This time..... The little flutter was STRONG! I loved watching it! Plus, baby was wiggling around. Nothing beats seeing your baby!

Looking Forward To: Easter! Family coming into town. Lyndon's family is here this weekend for Easter, and my family is coming next week to visit. Sounds like a lot, but it's nice to have some extra helping hands while I am miserable.
