10 weeks- 25% DONE!!!
(I thought these would look more impressive than they actually do, lol. I feel a LOT bigger!) I weighed myself today and was at 119. (I am down 1 lb- at this point I was down 2 lbs w/ Venily so I'm not worried about it at all)
Things seem to be going fast now. I was reading that nausea usually peaks at 9 weeks. I am hoping this is the case! I am feeling better sometimes, but still feel awful at others, especially at night! I haven't thrown up in a while, just a bit of dry heaving now and then. I definitely feel a heaviness now in my uterus and can see a bump starting to come!! :) I am also experiencing a lot of pulling sensations and if I bend the wrong way, some pain. I guess round ligament pain is fairly common for second pregnancies, I don't remember it being this noticeable with Venily.
I absolutely HATE having my pants buttoned right now- not because I can't physically button them anymore (because I can) but because the pressure on my stomach makes me even more nauseous. My pants aren't too small yet that I can rubber-band them (it just falls out). I just bought a new belly band and started wearing it yesterday. I had ZERO luck finding any maternity pants that I would even consider wearing (they all looked like ridiculous clown pants on me) so...... maybe I will not be wearing them this pregnancy either! Even the smallest sizes are WAY too big on the butt and thighs and they are all way too short! I am disappointed... I looked in a million different stores too, but they are all the same!
I've been so proud of myself for being so laid-back this pregnancy, but am starting to get slight anxiety attacks at times regarding the health of the new baby. With Venily I was a nervous wreck through my entire 1st trimester and some of my 2nd and then I was constantly worried the baby was going to come too early. Now I am confident everything is going to go fine and am grateful for my nausea as a constant reminder of that, but when I think of my next doctor appointment, I get a little nervous. I just want to hear the heartbeat so badly and will feel SOOOO much better once I hear it! 20 more days!!
At 10 weeks my baby....
*Has completed all its most critical developments!!
*Is growing bones this week! Pretty scary! I still can't drink milk so I am trying to get calcium everywhere else I can!
*Is nearly an inch and a half long!!
*'s Brain is making 250,000 new neurons per minute this week!!
*Is making me very emotional!! It is getting harder and harder to watch anything on TLC without crying constantly, lol! And if I see that Pampers commercial where they sing Happy Birthday one more time... I'm going to lose it! :)
Oh, and also I still have full-blown baby-craziness!!! It's quite unhealthy, but I can't seem to tone it down!

Look at your tiny little bump! How cute! lol. You can definatly see a difference between 5 weeks and 10 weeks in the pics. Whats even crazier is the difference there will be between that 10 week pic and when you're 20 weeks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacki! When I was trying on clothes yesterday I seriously thought I looked like 4 months pregnant! But I was looking back through pictures of when I was pregnant w/ Venily and BOY do I still have a long way to go, lol!
