9 weeks

This is a VERY late post. I was 9 weeks last Thursday (5/12/11). It's been a very crazy week for us. We're trying to buy a house and you know how that goes!



Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 9 weeks (5/12/11)

Size of baby: Baby McKnight is the size of a green olive.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: No weight gain so far with the pregnancy, but I have about 9 pounds of weight gain since starting fertility treatments.

Maternity Clothes: Just a bella band to hold up my jeans since I can't button them. However, I find this VERY uncomfortable so I mostly wear leggings now.

Gender:  Very anxious to find out!

Movement: None yet.

Sleep: Sleep is great until I wake up to use the bathroom which occurs every 3 hours give or take. I wake up exhausted every morning, but I am going to sleep very easily.

What I miss: Cherry Vanilla Dr. Peppers from Sonic and any type of BBQ. I'm not allowed "smoked meats" so of course I've really been wanting some ribs!

Cravings: Ribs and sausage biscuits. At least I can have one of my cravings!

Symptoms: Fatigue, frequent urination, and extreme thirst! I drink tons of water a day!

We hope and pray every day that our baby is growing and developing as God would see fit. We have had so much support and we are eternally grateful. Thank you so much!

Thank you guys for the sweet comments! They bring tears to my eyes every time. I just can't believe this is finally happening, but my heart is so heavy for those who are still struggling. I'm 10 weeks today, but Neil is out of town, so my 10 week update will have to wait a few days until I can get a picture!
