9 Weeks!

So there is this woman named Jessica who also has a blog on here (littlebabygarvin.blogspot.com), and my friend pointed her out to me almost a year ago-- she made the cutest chalkboard and did weekly updates for her readers during her pregnancy. She also created a super cute survey that she posted with the pictures. I loved it so much, I decided I had to copy her for my pregnancy, whenever that might have been.... so, here we go!

Baby is the size of a green olive!

How far along?  9 Weeks! Wow, the last month has flown by!

Maternity clothes? Nope, just dressin like a hobo with comfy pants and stretchy/ loose tops

 Stretch marks? No-- Already rubbing my tummy with cocoa butter whenever I remember. I think I'm going to be paranoid about this one and see stuff before it's actually there-- or even if it isn't, period.

Sleep: Last week I was having lots of restless nights, so woke up feeling pretty tired most mornings... but it seems like ti is passing, yay!
Best moment this week: Getting to meet all the camp kids/ start classes!

Miss Anything? Woodchuck Cider like you would not believe-- It's like my one favorite drink besides vodka redbulls and I had one for the first time in months and then I got preggers so it was a cruel taunting lol ;) Also sushi, smoked salmon sandwiches, and normal turkey lunchmeat. AND being able to work out however I want. Dang having a month of being lazy. I am sneaking in some pure barre exercises though hehe :)

Showing Yet? Well, not technically, but the laying around plus all the hot dogs I craved the first few weeks DEFINITELY caught up with me. I'm pretending it's all baby though lol ;) 

Movement: Nope, though I am reeeeeeeally excited for when I can say yes to this!!!!! It's prolly my imagination but sometimes when I'm stretched out in bed I feel like I can feel the slightest roundish bump in my lower abdomen. Maybe it's something or maybe it's my imagination haha!

Food cravings:  No more hot dogs, yay!!! Now I just want like bucketloads of fruit. And of course some kind of food will pop into my head every so often and then I can just NOT stop thinking about it. Yes, Jesse has already made his first late night food run. Also I finally started craving milk which is good because I am SO not a milk drinker-- luckily Jesse is letting me buy skim milk so that helps too!

 Anything making you queasy or sick: So far, the smell of Gyros and Scrambled Eggs, plus the sight of anything kinda jenky lookin.... and then there is bending or turning that makes my head spin haha
Gender Prediction: I really want a girl first, and Jesse really wants a boy but I have a feeling it's a boy. I dunno why, but I do. And I would be perfectly happy with that :)
Labor Signs: Heck no! Oh my gosh, how funny would it be if down the road mid-blog I did though?? Lol how appropriate this would be then! Cuz otherwise I doubt I will log on to answer yes to this question haha!

Symptoms: Nausea for sure-- the past week it's hit HARD out of nowhere... sucking on peppermints is helping a ton, thanks Lexi Shyne!! Some major stretching of my tummy muscles and ligaments the last two weeks, of course I need to pee like....well, a pregnant woman I suppose lol! Also naps are my new best friend and wow do my arms and back and legs, etc. get tired out fast!
Belly Button in or out? IN!
Wedding rings on or off? ON!

 Happy or Moody most of the time: Ummm, I'm happy I think. Lol I definitely am experiencing the mood swings, and poor Jesse gets the worst of it :( I also will be much happier when the first trimester is over so I can relax a bit more. I'm so on edge these days worrying that I am going to do something wrong!!
Looking forward to: The second trimester!!! Going to NY, Moving, dance show, meeting baby etc. but let's take it one thing at a time haha :)

Jesse is working 40 hours every week now and I am busy with summer camp teaching and trying to keep the dishes and laundry to a minimum. New this week is wooziness like crazy, but keeping it pretty much at bay with peppermints, yummm! I also got WAY too excited when I heard pluots are back at Cub foods!!!

This weekend we have rehearsals, volunteering outside of Avalon for Grandma's marathon, a movie and hopefully sweet potato sushi also on Saturday, and *drumroll please*, FATHER'S DAY!!! We actually got our crap together and sent out cards today, I have my little surprise for Jesse, and we have a romantic dinner planned  at J.J. Astor to celebrate Jesse's first Father's Day. We especially wanted to do this because Jesse can't make it down to his parent's house :-/ So, I'm hoping it'll still be special even though he won't see his family for a bit longer...

Also.... Jesse's brother's girlfriend told me about "Elephant Skin" color paint! It is PERFECT! I can already see it in Baby's room, it would look sooo pretty!!! :-D
