Anything making you queasy or sick: Everything. And it sucks because something that was good one day is lousy the nexy

Introducing . . .

Baby Christian! We think it looks like B - stretched out on its back, arms up and ankles crossed. Heartbeat was a nice 176. The doc says its an old wives' tale that high heartbeat equals a girl. I was 9w5d and the Baby was measuring 9w3d so that's pretty good. We're scheduled for another pic between 18 and 22 weeks to find out the gender.

9 Weeks!

How far along? 9 weeks

Weight gain/loss? Still down but telling myself I’ll make it up soon enough. Last “pre-pregnancy” weight was 157.5 but now I’m down 3 to 154.5

Maternity clothes? Nope
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: I am so tired. I get a window from about 4 PM to 7 PM when I am not nauseous and awake enough to eat.
Best moment this week: Figuring out the few foods that help: mashed potatoes, green apples, baby carrots, ginger snaps and, of course, club crackers
Have you told family and friends: Yep
Miss anything? Nope.
Movement: Nope.
Food cravings: Juice and mashed potatoes
Anything making you queasy or sick: Everything – strong smells, food cooking, especially.
Have you started to show yet: You decide. I’m saying it’s just bloat
Gender prediction: Boy!
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? In.
Wedding rings on or off? On. And I’m going to have to be really suffering to take them off.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy but exhausted.
Looking forward to: Next drs apt on March 12
