Maternity clothes: Yay! Went shopping with Mom and Jen while in Florida and got a couple more things, and then a girl at work was cleaning out her closet and gave me a bunch of stuff too!
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: Not bad, usually. Last night was rough because of my sore throat and stuffy nose. Stupid dumb allergies.
Best moment this week: I got to see my mom!
Movement: Finally had a bowel movement after 3 days! Hahaha...
Food cravings/aversions: I still don't really want meat, except for the chicken in my lovely chicken pot pies.
Gender: Feeling boy this week.
What I miss: The small bit of motivation I used to have to clean up the kitchen or do a load of laundry.
What I am looking forward to: Getting my sense of smell and taste back so I can enjoy my food again!
What I have learned: I don't think I am a happy, glowy type of pregnant woman. I think I just have a good ability to put up with lots of crap.
Milestones: Full-on 2nd trimester!

12 weeks
Maternity clothes: I don't even bother to wear anything but maternity clothes. Why should I? Picked up a pair of jeans, a pair of capris, and a couple tents shirts from Target. Woot!
Stretch marks: Nope. *fingers crossed*
Sleep: Love sleep again! Going to bed at 9:30 is awesome, and the last few nights I didn't have to get up to pee!
Best moment this week: At doc appt #2, we heard the little heartbeat! 156 beats per minute puts our sweet pea just a tad on the higher side of the normal range, which is 120-180 bpm.
Movement: Not baby movement, but my uterus has now moved above my pelvic bone where I can FEEL IT! This is awesome and weird. Awesomely weird.
Food cravings/aversions: Cravings and aversions have calmed down quite a bit, most likely thanks to my new BFF, Zofran. It's a lovely little pill that takes away the nausea. *happy dance*
Gender: A girl wouldn't be so bad I guess...
What I miss: I miss NOT being tired.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing the baby? Check. Hearing the baby? Check. Now I want to feel the baby!
What I have learned: If you feel crappy, call the doctor's office and complain to the nurse. At the worst, she will tell you to come into the office to get checked out. At best, she will tell you what you're feeling is normal and not to worry, she will help you fix it. If the doctor is willing to prescribe you drugs, take them.
Milestones: Heartbeat!
Stretch marks: Nope. *fingers crossed*

10 weeks.
Maternity clothes: Ahh, Walmart. Got two pairs of pants for $9 each. And had to buy a new bra again.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: Still going to bed about 9:30 every night, cuz when I'm asleep I don't feel like poo.
Best moment this week: One day I felt good. For like, HOURS at a time. It was awesome.
Movement: Yeah my waistline is "moving".
Food cravings/aversions: Cravings change by the minute... but ususally include bread, soup, and fruit. Aversions = anything not currently on the crave list.
Gender: A lot of the old wives tales (and a few of the old bags themselves) have been telling me girl. So now I want a boy to prove the effers wrong.
What I miss: Still miss being able to eat normal meals without fear.
What I am looking forward to: Either my next doctor's appt or the one after that where we will get to hear the heartbeat. Also, end of 1st tri when hopefully all this gagging will stop.
What I have learned: If I thought Nick was awesome before, he's only proven it to me again and again. Run to the store for ginger ale? Sure! Drive out to taco bell/panera/chitty diner instead of eating the groceries we just got? No problem! (Love you bb)
Milestones: Fetus!

Sorry I didn't do a quiz for week 9. I was busy feeling seasick.
Here's the highlight:
Milestone: Baby is offically a fetus! No more embryo up in this bitch!
(Get it?)

8 weeks
Maternity clothes: Meh, need some. My fat pants don't even fit anymore.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: Going to bed early, waking up a lot.
Best moment this week: Well, I guess the best thing about my week of constant nausea is that I haven't actually thrown up...
Movement: Nope
Food cravings/aversions: Ugggghhhh no food. Food bad.
Gender: *sigh* I don't know.
What I miss: FOOD! I miss being able to eat!!
What I am looking forward to: Um, food!
What I have learned: I'm not going to be able to tell people I was one of the lucky ones who "never got sick", even though I think when people say that it's a load of crap and they either forgot about how crappy they felt or they for some reason want everyone to think they had the most perfect pregnancy ever and can do nothing but feel sorry for me and offer some crappy home remedy shit that doesn't work.
Milestones: I guess the start of morning sickness. First time I called out of work sick due to pregnancy.
Wow, so that post revolved around food. Good grief.

7 weeks
How far along: 7 weeks
Maternity clothes: Got one of those Be Bands from Target. It's like a tube top that you wear around your waist to cover up the fact that your pants are unbuttoned.
Stretch marks: Nope.
Sleep: I still love sleep, but I've been having trouble staying asleep. Seems like I wake up at least twice a night, wide awake, and have to lay there and try to get my comfy spot back without waking Nick up.
Best moment this week: I got a picture of you, baby blob! Also... Movement: None that I could feel, but we saw the flutter of a heartbeat!!!
Food cravings/aversions: Still craving pizza/I discovered this morning that I want nothing to do with tuna fish.
Gender: I think I want a girl too, but I've been feeling boy.
What I miss: Can't think of a single thing right now.
What I am looking forward to: going to Chicago this weekend! Yeah, we decided to go even with everything that's going on at work, we still felt like we deserved a little baby-moon. So, Sears Tower, Navy Pier and Lincoln Park Zoo here we come!
What I have learned: When it comes to doctor's appointments, you must be willing to WAIT.
Milestones: First prenatal appt, first ultrasound (which was free - love that doc), first official pounds gained due to pregnancy, not just due to being a hog.
Also, I changed the color scheme from pink to green because we don't know if sweet pea is a boy or a girl, but I do know that sweet peas are green.

My beautiful blob
Here's sweet pea's first photo:
Click to enlarge!
Yeah, I know. We don't know which end is which either. But it's real and it's ours and we love you, blob.
