How far along: 6 weeks, 3 days
Maternity clothes: no, thank you very much.
Stretch marks: not counting the ones
from my last pregnancy, right? Nothing new so far…hopefully it stays that way.
Sleep: Memory still wakes up
2-3 times a night which I'm used to. Otherwise, great!
Best moment this week: An ultrasound at ichoice. Telling my family about
the pregnancy and also inhaling a large order of Super Nachos from El
Rodeo and feeling nauseous-free for 2 hours!
What I miss: I miss not being sick
and not having a bajillion food aversions. Regardless, if things go as they did
with the last pregnancies, this will be over at the end of the 1st
trimester! Fingers crossed!
Movement: I have DREAMS about the
baby moving, which are fun. Too early for real life baby movement though.
Symptoms: Nausea and food aversions. Slight
heartburn a couple of times.
Food cravings: I’ve had super random cravings
that only last a brief time. So far I’ve craved: Salty bacon (I know, weird),
nachos from El Rodeo, Chili cheese hot dog (I think I would’ve even settled for
one from 7-11, but I was thinking of the ones from Sonic), and Curly fries from
Arby’s. The only craving fulfilled was the nachos. And then I have a whole list
of cravings that are only in Las Vegas like Café Rio chicken salad (w/ house
dressing), Panera Bread chicken salad sandwich, my dad’s roast and mashed
potatoes with gravy, In-n-Out cheeseburger, and Lucille’s Smokehouse bbq. I
think about food a lot.
Anything making you queasy or
sick: Several repeats from
the last pregnancies, like tomato/spaghetti sauce, eggs, the smell of my
refrigerator. A new one is Top Ramen. I can’t even look at it without gagging.
Have you started to show yet: not yet. Hopefully I
show sooner since this is my 3rd pregnancy. That would be cool.
Gender prediction: I think it might be
another girl. My sister Ashley said she has a feeling it’s a boy. I’m happy
with whatever gender. We’ll see!
Emotions: I’m really excited! I’m
also at that point where it feels like I’m going to be sick forever and there’s
no end in sight, but so far my “morning” sickness is not nearly as bad as it
was with my girls, so that’s really nice!
Looking forward
to: I have another ultrasound at ichoice on Tuesday,
because the baby’s heart rate was a little low (which isn’t abnormal because it’s
at about 6 weeks that the heart rate picks up speed, and I was just barely 6
weeks), so I’m looking forward to that. I’m also looking forward to my first
appointment with my midwives in a week and a half.
