Here We Go...

So, my post will start becoming more detailed once we return home from California. There, I will be better set up to take weekly baby bump pictures, and keep everyone a bit more updated when we get back into our normal routine. But for now, I will do a little teeny weeny post.

That is a picture of me when I was about 10 weeks, 5 days along. I have been noticing though, that my belly size is still fluctuating. In other words, some days it is HUGE, and others, not so much. But one thing is for sure... my pants don't fit. I decided that it was a good idea to head to the store and invest in a few pieces of maternity clothes. I was right. I got a few shirts, but most importantly, my first pair of maternity pants! And let me tell you... they are the most comfortable things I own. They're just too long. Imagine that. My other favorite item was my Target BeBand. It is super comfortable!
Now onto some questions. Each week when I post a picture of my belly, along with my decorated chalkboard (an idea stemmed from Jessica Garvin's blog, Little Baby Garvin.) I will post these questions along with it. I think that it will b a fun way for myself and everyone else to really notice the changes that I am experiencing. After all, I will only do this for the first time, once!

How far along? (In this picture) 10 weeks
Total weight gain? Around 3 pounds, give or take.
Maternity Clothes? Sometimes!
Stretch Marks? No way, Jose!
Sleep? That's literally all I want to do. Ever.
Best moment this week? Probably going to pick out maternity clothes. It was fun!
Miss anything? Sushi, and not having acne.
Movement? None!
Food Cravings? Oh boy... Tuna, Sushi, Seafood, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Icecream... shall I go on?
Anything making you feel sick? Nothing specifically... but certain smells are still really getting to me.
Gender? Who knows! Only 10 more weeks to find out!
Labor Signs? My goodness, NO.
Symptoms: Still lethargic, occasionally nauseous, pimples EVERYWHERE, lots of belly (stretching!) pain, and sciatica pain out the wahzoo.
Wedding rings on or off? On!
Happy or moody most of the time? It depends on the day. These hormones and I are currently not friends.
Looking forward to: Baby appointment when we get home. Finally hearing the heartbeat! :) <3

At ten weeks along, baby was the size of a kumquat. (Who the heck uses that as a size comparison?!)
