Preggo Questionnaire

*This week the baby is the size of: Kumquat (whatever that is!)  He's just over an inch now crown to rump.
*How far along: 10 weeks tomorrow.
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013.
*Total Weight gain/loss: Something like 8 pounds.  (AAAAHHH!!!)
*Maternity Clothes? I have a couple pairs of pants and have gotten 3 tank tops in the mail recently, but have only worn the pants a bit.  I was border line not fitting my usual pants so it's a really awkward phase.  I don't feel like I should be wearing maternity clothes yet.
*Sleep: I have been a bit more tired recently and I do sleep a lot at night.  Usually just 8-9 hours a sleep now rather than 7-8.  I also wake up at night to pee usually once a night.
*Best moment this week: Finding out that we will probably be able to build our new house this summer!
*Movement? Baby is moving now but I can't feel it yet.
*Food Cravings: I used to want chips to take away the gaggy feelings now it's super random, whatever it works to take away the urge to gag at the time.
*Symptoms: Getting up to pee at night, gagging urges and gagging, weird feeling in my tummy when i press on it, especially when I have to pee.  I guess everything has shifted, and my uterus feels funny.  (funny in the sense that I feel like I can tell it's there)  Not too much else.  Sore Nips a bit.  Bigger boobs.  
*Gender: Don't know and probably won't find out.
*Labor Signs: None, better not be for a long time!
*Belly Button in or out: In and I don't think it will pop I have a deep button.  But who knows?
*Feeling toward Pregnancy: It's a strange thing.  I feel glad that it has finally happened and stressed and anxious at the same time.  It feels weird to think that there is a baby growing in me and that life is going to change drastically for us.  But I know God is blessing us with this baby and wouldn't have it any other way!
*What I miss:  Being able to not have to heat up sandwhich meat before eating it and have really hot baths.  I miss being able to lose weight and now I just feel so chunky.
*What I'm looking forward to: feeling baby move, actually looking pregnant, and the summer time wearing sundresses!  And building our house and sipping strawberry lemonade and living close to my family again.
*Milestones: I had a milestone the moment we saw a baby on the ultrasound.  Never happened before.  Next milestone is when I feel better again and/or start showing.
*Any new stretchmarks: I hope I don't get any.  My mother didn't.  We shall see.  I bought some lotions from Arbonne to hopefully help a little bit at least.

NO LONGER WAITING!!!

You read right!  I'm 10 weeks pregnant as of tomorrow!  I found out as soon as I possibly could at 3 weeks and 3 days pregnant!  We must have conceived New Years Day!  Maybe our relaxing Christmas break was what did it, or the Red Raspberry Leaf capsules I took to strengthen my weak luteal phase.  Whatever the case, the Lord saw fit to bless us with a pregnancy now!  We have an ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days and baby was there to greet us, with a heartbeat of 152.  That was exciting and hard to believe there was actually a baby there after all this time and two failed pregnancies.  So here we are, just trying to trust that things will go well, like a normal pregnancy should.  I would like to update my blog weekly on how things are going and will use one of those questionaire thingys that other ladies have used.  I will have to go find one and update the blog with some details about how it's been for me the past while.
