Fruit Size? This is always my absolute favorite thing in pregnancy, comparing the baby (babies?) to food. This week they are 1-1.25 inches, or the size of a grape, or a green olive.
Due Date: According to the IVF calculators November 7. According to my OB basing it on my LMP it's November 9. And of course with twins, and with my history of pre-eclampsia probably more like September or hopefully October.
How far along: 9 weeks today.
Genders: We are not going to find out. With P I begged my husband to let us find out, he was really against it. So I have promised him that if we got another chance it would be a surprise...
Total Weight Gain: 2-3 lbs. With P I was down 2 lbs at 16 weeks, doesn't seem I am on that track this time....
Stretch Marks: My white faded ones from my first pregnancy immediately got darker as soon as I got a bfp. Hormonal maybe?
Swelling: Not yet!
Movement: Too early! Although these last couple days I could've sworn I felt tiny, tiny flutters. But both times I felt them I had flatulence right afterwards. LOL
Maternity Clothes: Haven't worn any yet but I did buy some bottoms! I can still wear some regular jeans/shorts but waistbands make me feel sick. I am showing MUCH more quickly this time, which I know happens with a second pregnancy and with twins.
Sleep: Ugh, I have been having insomnia. And of course the sinus infection isn't helping. I am sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night, then trying to take a nap everyday.
Cravings: All the food. Seriously I am hungry all the time. I wake up with my stomach growling. I go to bed and my stomach is growling. Specifically been craving milk, pasta, oranges, and fried chicken.
Symptoms: Nausea, but not every day, and so far not as bad as my last pregnancy. I think it may be because I am not constipated this time. Which I think is because this time I am on rectal suppositories instead of vaginal ones. You're welcome for this information. Also a little boob tenderness, urinary frequency and weird dreams.
What I miss: Just sushi. I have been craving raw salmon intensely. But of course I am happy to forgo it.
What I'm loving: Surprising people with our news! Don't worry, we haven't told everyone. Just family and very close friends. I know it is still early.
I've talked to my husband several times since he left. He and Pipsqueak are having a great time in Florida. I can't believe I am missing Easter with my family :( But I am getting better, and I know she is having a blast.
Okay, so you know what's funny? The IVF due date calculator puts my due date at November 25, but the PA said November 27. Is adding two days a thing?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the sinus infection is better? You sound better, even though I know you're missing your family.
I'm actually going to ask about switching the suppositories to the back door. Especially if the spotting persists.
Happy 9 weeks!
Thanks! And yes the sinus crap is about 50% better, thank God!!!!!!!
DeleteI bet one of the best things is TELLING people!!! Hooray :)
