10 weeks and going strong!

We are 10 weeks along!!!

Here is my baby bump... I think I look bigger in this photo than in real life! but oh well!!

As I said in my past blog I want salty and spicy! Well I bought Flamming Hot Cheetos and that was a bad idea... I ate the whole bag in two sittings and Trent was very disappointed that he didn't get any! Haha I told him "Too bad.... I'm building a human here!"

Therefore... this is my new excuse for everything! :)

Also I have been going to bed before 9 pm everyday this week which Trent doesn't like very much. Monday (i blame on the time change) I went to bed before 8 o'clock! Well I woke up several times with the TV being so loud. One time Trent was laying next to me, the next he was walking out the bedroom door, and another time I couldn't find him but I heard crinkling and was super confused! (turns out he was eating oreos and milk on the floor because he didn't want crumbs in the bed, so sweet) and then I woke up again when he finally turned off the TV. Then the next couple of nights he was up late studying and I was dead to the world and he would come in and wake me up and say its too early to go to bed! lol It was about 9 o'clock :) Oh well I am enjoying all of this extra sleep... and I need it... I AM BUILDING A BABY HERE!!!

Well I officially joined the pregnancy club this week! Tuesday morning I woke up at 7:20 (my normal time for Tuesdays) and started getting ready but noticed I was feeling a little more nauseous than normal but kind of pushed it off. Well then I went to brush my teeth... and oops not a good idea! I started gagging! and ended up throwing up some stomach acid but because I hadn't eaten anything it didn't last long at all (maybe a minute) and I was good. So I rebrushed my teeth and headed to school. I think this was again because of the time change! Usually I am at school by 8 so I eat when I get to school and since it was already "8:30" with the time change my stomach really wanted to eat! Oh well it hasn't happened again so that's good!

Today was our first SONOGRAM!!! :)

Here is Pebble's first photo!

According to measurements Pebble is 9 weeks and 4 days which is right on par for our June 11th due date!

First the doctor told us about the fact that I have a negative blood type so I may have to get some extra shots later in the pregnancy and after the baby is born to make sure my body doesn't build up antibodies against my future babies! But she said since we aren't stuck in the 50's its no big deal these days!

Then she asked if I wanted to get a blood test to check for "CSV" which is actually just the Cold Virus. So we actually want a positive on this blood test because that way my body already has the antibodies for it. If it comes back "neutral or negative" we will have to keep a closer watch since I work around kids if I get sick. It could be super harmful if Pebble catches CSV! so let's hope I test positive!

Then she revealed all of my previous blood test results for all of the possible genetic traits I could pass to my baby that may cause birth defects. Luckily, I have very low risk for any of these traits! So we are in the clear so far! Yay!

Then of course we had the sonogram!!!! and it was so AMAZING!!! Pebble's head is definitely bigger than his body! but while we were watching he started kicking around and waving his arms around!!! it was the coolest thing getting to see how active Pebble already is!! (Trent then felt the need to call his sister and tell her that our baby could beat up her baby since ours is such a fighter! haha)

Our next appointment is December 10th for our 14 week appointment!
