Belly Picture - 12.5 weeks

10 weeks

I'm just weird. Hahahaha. I'm quite content having a baked potatoe or grapes for dinner. I don't seem to want anything heavy or big.

My tummy's pretty sensitive, if my bladders even the slightest bit full I have to pull my waist band either over my belly or around my hips. I bought a belly band that's suppose to extend the life of your normal pants - the band goes over your unbuttoned pants to hold them up and keep them in place. I find the band's too tight for my belly =(

In 2 weeks I'm suppose to go for another prenatal appt. I'm hoping that Colin can pull through with his family Dr up in Edmonton, either he take me on or hopefully he can refer me to an OBGyn. Keep your fingers crossed!

Week 9

"The baby officially changes from being an embryo to a fetus this week. This is mostly due to the fact that his little embryonic tail has disappeared. "

WOOHOO! It's lost(losing) it's tail!!!

Foods are still really iffy. I'm either really hungry or really full & there's not a lot that looks pleasing. Dairy is always a good and safe bet... red meat - not so much =( At least I don't have that acute sense of smell like I did with Robbie!

Food... blech

It seems like everything I used to like is so visually unappealing. I find that as soon as I start taking bites from my meal my mind takes over and starts asking/thinking, ex: how did this chicken die? look at how this tzatziki sauce curdles over the hot fries! etc etc etc. So as of right now salads & breads are my main source of nutrition these days.

For some reason I've been really nervous about miscarrying this time around (barely crossed my mind with Robbie). Every day that goes by makes me more confident that eggbert's going to stick around and grow into a happy and healthy baby.

I've started to tell Robbie that there's a baby in mommy's belly, he answers with "belly". I'm sure once there's a bump or once he feels a kick he might be able to grasp that there's a baby inside the belly.

Eggbert: "Give me food... or else!"

When I wake up in the morning I feel great (aside from the full bladder) Robbie and I have our morning cuddle and we do a little playing. Then it hits me like a tonne of bricks - I get this intense feeling like I'm going to throw up. I usually grab the quickest thing to digest (usually juice) and the "pukey" sensation goes away but then I feel like an anorexic that hasn't tasted food in weeks!

With me I'm either really hungry or really full, there's no in between.

Due Date

I just realized I have yet to post when eggbert's due (doh!) It's due Dec 20th! We're going to have an amazing (and busy) holiday this year!

First Symptoms

Well when I wake up in the morning my pants fit me, but I'm unbuttoning my pants by the end of the day. It's absolutely painful to try & keep them done up.

Yesterday I had a salad at work and by the time I went to pick up Robbie and got back home my eggbert decided it didn't like it =( I had some serious tummy cramps and felt like throwing up. I got that saliva that you usually get right before you throw up (at least that happens with me) thankfully there was no vomiting, but my little Robbie didn't like the fact that I was on the floor/couch for most of the night.

Today was a weird day. I've vacuumed, baked & cooked dinner... but I feel blah. I have no drive to take my monkey out for a walk, no drive to squeeze my expanding thighs and waist into pants and no drive to put on a smile. Seems like all I'm driven to do is whine (sorry).

Robbie's getting a little frustrated with the fact that my body's getting a little sensitive. My boobs are getting super sore and my tummy's following my boobs lead which means that there's not much room for Robbie to climb on me and wrestle =(
