How far along: Ten weeks as of Wednesday, December 18, 2013.
Size of baby: A kumquat (still don't know what that is). Lima Bean is a little over an inch long and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce. Big news: Lima Bean has now completed the most critical part of her development!
Maternity Clothes: Not yet.
Movement: I think I am feeling movement, but it seems way too early. I remember what it felt like when I first felt Henry move--little pulse beatings in my abdomen that would beat a couple of times and then stop. This is the same feeling. Given that I am only ten weeks, it doesn't seem possible, and I even googled whether I could actually be feeling movement this early! Results seemed mixed. Who knows, but it does help reassure me. I don't want to use the fetal monitor to try to confirm, because then I will get upset if I don't hear the heartbeat. So we will go with "maybe" for now!
Sex of baby: Thinking girl, but we'll see.
Sleep: Lots of it!
What I miss: Nothing specific.
Cravings: Barbeque potato chips. Not so out of the ordinary for me.
Symptoms: Fatigue. Also, acne. Ugh--I had perfectly clear skin with Henry. Not so much this time. My skin is worse than it ever is normally. Hormones to blame! I also have not been spared from the stomach issues I normally deal with when not pregnant. When I was pregnant with Henry, my stomach only acted up once or twice. It was heaven. This time, while it is better than normal, it is much more problematic than it was last time. Sigh...one perk of pregnancy I thought I would get that isn't panning out that way! Oh, well.
What I'm looking forward to: Telling our families, which we plan to do over Christmas by having Henry wear his Big Brother shirt to announce the news!
