10 Weeks

Double digits and one quarter of the way there! This week was a little surreal with getting our first peek at the baby during the ultrasound. My husband says he becomes even more shocked each time he looks the sonogram and can't get over how unbelievable it is that we created a life. Honestly it's a lot to grasp, even for me who has been housing the little thing. I can't believe there are little arms and legs just waving around in my body and I can't feel a thing! I assume it gets to feel a little more natural once my bump grows and when I feel the flutters and kicks.

Symptom-wise, no changes. Though I think the specific cravings are toning down a bit. I notice if I go too many hours between eating I get acid reflux. I'm really trying to work in more healthy items into my day -- not only for the sake of my baby, but also because my increasing size is troubling me.

Next weekend we're doing a little mini photoshoot for our official announcement. It will feel good to be "out"! Not that I'm too shy about telling people in person lately, but I'll feel a little less censored. :)

I did  buy a few maternity items last week including a pair of work pants. The full belly panel is a little tricky to get used to, especially because my blump doesn't fill it out!

  1. Congrats again!!!!! I refused to wear maternity pants until I was like 22 weeks. I thought they'd be horrible. Turns out they're super comfy. If you want to make your pre-preggo pants last a little longer, try using a hair tie around the button. There's also something you can get at Target called a Belly Band and you're supposed to be able to unbutton your pants and it'll keep them up. I never felt comfy with that, but I did use it to help smooth everything out when I looked more bloated than pregnant.
