Well, I've been a very bad blogger as I skipped both my 9 and 10 week posts! I don't even have a good excuse other than I just didn't feel like it. lol I'll blame the fact that Steven has been gone for almost 4 weeks for work and I missed him terribly.
Three Saturday's ago (April 27th) Phoenix and I spent the day with two of my girlfriends (one is expecting in October). Our first stop was a huge indoor baby/kids swap meet. I didn't buy much, mostly took it all in, but I did buy a complete Baby Bullet set for $25 which was something I wanted but would never have bought new as it's not essential enough for the pricetag. We then spent the day store hopping, some baby oriented others just normal. We had a delicious lunch at a place called The Mongolie Grill - I'd never been but Phoenix and I loved it. Then hit a few more stores and headed home.
The following weekend I bought a travel system off of Craigslist. Now, I already have a car seat and base from my sister but I realized recently that the carseat would definitely not pass the hospital inspection since it's "expired" now. So, since I didn't have a stroller yet I decided to try getting an entire travel system. I managed to find a beautiful Cosco Juvenile system (these are amazing since they havea useful life of 9 years instead of the usual 5/6 years) for $50. The carseat was manufactured in 2010 and has never been in an accident (the lady I bought it from had still been using it a bit - when I met her her little girl had just woken up in it).
I also bought a baby monitor - the Graco one with the 2000ft extended range since our property in Smithers will a fair bit larger and I'd like the ability even if I never use it. lol
Oh and I ordered myself 4 new bras in the next cup size up (from www.AdoreMe.com) since mine are becoming a bit snug. Fortunately this area of pregnancy seems to be playing out like my pregnancy with Phoenix which hopefully means I won't need to upgrade my bras again until I buy nursing bras. ;) They arrived today and I can't wait to start wearing them!
That pretty much covers the couple of weeks I didn't post about.
Weekly Update:
How far along? - 11 weeks
Total weight gain? - 5lbs...
Sleep? - Not too bad, just waking up to pee in the night a couple of times and am often too hot even though I've switched to our summer comforter.
Food cravings? - Hot Dogs (which is okay since I boil them), milk, fruit roll-ups and watermelon.
Anything making you queasy or sick? - Nothing lately except waiting too long to eat oh and the pork roast I made last week and then nearly threw up all over. lol
Symptoms? - My rather mild "morning" sickness seems to have mostly gone away...I only start to feel really icky if I wait to long to eat or if I don't keep a constant glass/bottle of water on the go (severe metal mouth makes this a necessity). Exhausted, gassy and peeing lots are my other main symptoms.
Gender prediction? - I have no idea now...part of me is still thinking boy but part of me has gone back to thinking girl again so we'll see. My dd thinks it's a girl. lol
Happy or Moody most of the time? - I'd say it's been 50/50 the last few weeks but I'm getting back to being more happy...I think DH being out of town for almost 4 weeks played a huge roll in my moods.
Best moment this week? - DH coming home a night earlier than expected and taking an exra couple of days off! Mother's Day was pretty awesome too! :D
Looking forward to? - Tuesday, May 21st - my next midwife appointment - hoping to hear baby's heartbeat! :D
Miss Anything? - Wishing I didn't feel quite so tired still, really need to start packing!
Nervous about? - Gaining too much weight and then having to lose it again. I think this is mostly due to my having spent the last year and half losing 40lbs and since I hope to have another baby fairly close in age to this one and my PCOS/IF history will already make that more difficult. Most I've mentioned this concern to say things like "it's worth it in the end" etc which is basically true but they've clearly never struggled with their weight or they'd at least be more understanding. lol
Maternity clothes? - It's getting right around the corner...my favorite pair of pants are a maternity pair but with the weather heating up they're too hot and while my capris from last summer still have room in them I'm going to need to upgrade very soon!
Movement? - Possibly. I know it's crazy early but two days ago I sat down at the computer just to sit and wasn't doing anything and I felt this swishing sort of flutter in my uterus. In fact, I felt it twice in one day and I've read it's possible but I'm not for sure on if it was really baby yet. :)
Stretch marks? - Just the ones from my first PG with Phoenix. lol
Wedding rings on or off? - On!
Belly Button in or out? - In!
Labor Signs? - No way! lol
