10 Weeks!

I finally feel like there's a light at the end of the first trimester tunnel!  Although I still have nausea all day, every day, I feel like there's a little glimmer of hope with only 3 more weeks in the first trimester.  As of today, I am 10w, 2d, my weeks turn over on Saturdays. 

This week, I started taking my weekly belly shot pictures, which I did with Elijah also.  Dustin questioned me, asking why I would be doing this again, but I feel like it's only fair...if you document EVERYTHING with one child, the same has to be done with the next.  In fact, I'm so grateful that I wrote everything down weekly with Elijah because it's been nice to go back and read how I was feeling each week.

A friend of mine had given me this journal, so I decided to turn it into my pregnancy journal.  With Elijah, I wrote in it each week of my pregnancy.  I'm trying to be faithful and do the same this time, but it doesn't always happen.  I also include my weekly pregnancy pics in the journal, so it looks something like this:

26, 27 & 28 weeks!

 It's fun to go back and compare how I'm feeling now to how I was feeling that same week with Elijah.  So, here's 10 weeks back then and 10 weeks now...

I'm still dealing with the bleed, which I thought was done, but it came back again!  This was my main concern at 10 weeks with Elijah too.  But, we have had many ultrasounds and baby is fine!  We had also bought an at home fetal doppler last pregnancy and I've been able to find the heartbeat for about a week now!  Always a reassuring thing!

So far, I haven't gained/lost any weight since I weighed myself when we found out 7 weeks ago.  I still have pretty strong aversions to pizza, ice cream and poultry.  Haven't had any strong cravings, but yesterday, I had to restrict my consumption of tuna.  : )  We have one more appointment before we leave for WI; it's hard to believe that by the time I get back to Arizona, we'll only be about a week away from finding out this little one's gender.  I have no inclination one way or the other, and I'd be extremely happy with either a boy or a girl.
