Week October 20 – October 26
Week October 18 – 24
How far along am I?
I thought I was 10 weeks this week based on my LMP and the previous doctor that said I had a blighted ovum, but my due date got pushed from May 18th to May 23rd which is a 5 day difference which keeps me at 9 weeks! That’s fine with me as long as my baby is fine!
How big is the baby?
The size of a grape.
How much weight have I gained?
None at all. My appetite still isn’t that great at the moment, but midwife said it should get better soon.
How am I sleeping?
I’m sleeping a little better. I haven’t had to get up and throw up so that’s great. I usually throw up first thing in the morning if I throw up at all these days.
My best moment this week
Seeing my wiggly baby on the ultrasound. We weren’t expecting Baby Chambers to be wiggling around and all or even be as big as we saw on the ultrasound. We were pleasantly surprised and totally relieved that the spotting was pretty much nothing. The midwife told me not to worry about the spotting any longer so I won’t! The ultrasound tech looked around to see where the bleeding could be coming from and she didn’t see anything near the baby or anywhere for that matter. They think it might be coming from my cervix, but nothing serious. The spotting was pretty much only when I wiped and either really light pink or brown. So no worries! Baby measured fine and heart beat was 169! Strong little warrior! You can see the baby wiggling around in our announcement video. We will have more ultrasound footage in one of our vlogs coming soon.
Baby Chambers first photos. Picture perfect!
Do I miss anything?
I miss not barfin’ my brains out, but I’m feeling much better now that I have meds. I barely throw up now…I just feel nauseous here and there for the most part. The doc said it should ease up soon. I sure hope so! Some people experience it throughout pregnancy though…hopefully I don’t!
Food cravings?
WAFFLES & GRITS! Mmmm!
What am I eating?
I’m eating cereal, grits, waffles, fruit, veggies, bagels, chicken, veggie burgers, and pizza.
How do I feel?
I’m feeling somewhat better thank God!
Have I started to show yet:
I think it’s still bloat.
Am I happy or moody most of the time?
Happy because I keep watching the recording of my baby on ultrasound. So AMAZING!
What am I looking forward to?
My baby bump to be more than just bloat and finding out the sex of our baby!

Now the baby will be a little Gemini!! Not a stubborn Taurus 😉 (my apologies to anyone reading this that might be a Taurus) 🙂

Hey, I had a similar experience. I went to the doc for an ultrasound when I was 14 weeks along and he said we have to change the due date in order to the baby’s size. It was a little big too big. So my due date is a week earlier now. Can’t wait to hold him/her. 🙂

Cool! I wonder if mine will change again because that was earlier in the pregnancy. We shall see. I can’t wait to hold him/her either!
