9 weeks (and 1 day)

I'm going to start doing my weekly pregnancy updates here. I fizzled out last time on them. But I'll try again.

How far along?  9 weeks and 1 day. (Holy buckets!!!)

Symptoms?  Still super nauseous on and off through the whole day. Small appetite. Very little sounds good to me so I pretty much choke down anything I can. The fatigue I insane.  It is so much more difficult to deal with any of it with a 7 month old. I want to still be able to play with him so I've been sucking it up. Another weird symptom that I've been dealing with is a rash. Its not super itchy or anything. But I broke out in bumps all over !y body! So weird! I make such a terrible pregnant person.

Baby this week?  Baby is the size of a green olive. His/her hands are less like paddles and more like hands and feet with fingers and toes!  Its embryonic tail is gone and it's looking more human!  Its eyes are done developing and are fused shut for the next 16 weeks or so.

Cravings/Aversions?  I was craving pudding this week. And pickles for about 5 minutes.  Aversions include everything else. Haha!  Garrett made popcorn the other day and the smell was TERRIBLE! Smaller like straight up barf. Lol. I can't wait to be done with this phase...

Sleep?  Between waking up to pee and waking up for Mason, it's been pretty terrible. However, I'm super thankful I've been doing PT because my back has actually been feeling pretty damn good! So that has been a nice change!

Goals for the week?  Our first OB appointment is tomorrow so I think my first goal is to get some sort of game plan for this pregnancy.  Find out my restrictions for working out and if I get cleared for swimming, I will most likely rejoin the Peak so I can start swimming again.  I'm super busy at work this week so my other goal is to just make it through this week of work without having to cancel on anyone. Oh and I'm going to ask for some anti nausea stuff. Because I just can't do it this time around. If I didn't have a 7 month old and such a busy schedule at work, I could. But it's been a task to work through the sick feeling. So I'm giving in this time.
