the update

How far along: 9 weeks

Maternity clothes: not yet, but i am thinking about getting a belly band thingy for my pants

Stretch marks: not yet, but i will definitely get them. i'm prone to them

Sleep: .what's that? they tell you to get plenty of rest b4 the baby comes, bc you won't get any sleep after. well that's a bunch of bull bc i have not slept through the night yet, since i found out i was knocked up. and i all i want to do during the day is nap. :)

Best moment this week: telling the parents (soon to be GRANDparents) & seeing the little baby for the first time on an ultrasound

Movement: just bowel movements. haha ew. sorry. no, i do not feel the actual baby moving yet.

Food cravings/aversions: i crave fruit that's nice & juicy, cottage cheese (random), ice cream, clam chowder, and sushi (i MISS IT! so i have to settle for veggie rolls). I can't stand red meat (other than burgers), BBQ sauce makes me nauseous.

Gender: .don't know, also don't know if i want to find out yet.

What I miss: SUSHI, dippy-doo eggs, hot tubs, good night's sleep, wine, and volleyball (soon)

What I am looking forward to: my baby bump & feeling it kick, registering for baby stuff, decorating the room, and of course meeting the baby, duh.

What I have learned: stuff you CAN'T eat, when the 1st trimester is over, and how hard it is to keep a secret like this.

Milestones: first prenatal visit & food aversions. it was funny walking into the grocery store & almost puking bc of the smell of red meat
