10 Week Update & Ultrasound!

How Far Along: 10 Weeks (10 weeks one day when writing this/ 10w0d in picture)

How Big is The Baby: 2.5 Inches long

Total Weight Gain: Probably still about 2 pounds. The real weighing will begin at the OB this coming friday.

Maternity Clothes: No, but I do where a BE Band because my pants wont button. Last week they just felt painful if buttoned and now the button wont reach.

Sleep: Not sleeping well but super tired all day

GENDER: Dont know. I still think girl but after out u/s one of the nurses said it looks like a boy to her. Also Justin's Grandmother told me she has been having dreams that it is a boy.

Movement: We SAW movement on the ultrasound (so cool!) but I wont feel it for a while yet.

Food Cravings: Sweet things. I HAD to have a nerd blizzard from Dairy Queen last night and luckily Kelli went and indulged with me! <3

What I Miss: Having energy!!!!!!! I stayed up later than normal last night and I am SO tired today and totally paying for it.

What I'm looking forward to: Meeting the OB next week and having another ultrasound! Also knowing the baby's gender so I can start planning better.

Milestones: Double digits (as in how many weeks) and seeing the baby move!

Symptoms: Still extreme exhaustion, craving sweets, not sleeping well, moody as heck!, heartburn.

It was, BY FAR, the best ultrasound yet. It was so amazing to see that in two weeks the baby had grown that much and looks like a baby now. The heart was beating away at 177bpm again. He/she was moving and waving his/her arms and legs around. It was so special. Justin even took a video of the baby moving around with my phone. We are so blessed to have this baby growing inside of me and we are NOT taking it for granted. After everything that we have been through it just amazes me that this is happening. Its days like yesterday that make me SO thankful that we didnt give up, I truly felt that we may never see what we saw yesterday so it is unexplainable how much it meant to us.

For Justin it made the whole thing so much more real. It isnt a growing blob anymore its a little baby moving around in there. He immediately said "CAN YOU FEEL THAT?!"..... so cute.

We have our first appointment with our OB next friday and we will have an ultrasound then too (at 11 weeks) then our NT scan at the RE the next wednesday. We will be seeing a lot of the baby in the next two weeks and we are so excited!
