Baby Collier and I have successfully hit the double digit mark! 10 weeks! Baby is the size of a kumquat or a prune. Baby is developing bones and cartilage. It's teeth are forming under gums. It's muscles are working well enough that it can close its' little hand to make a fist and it's digestive system is beginning to work! That's all on the inside. On the outside I just feel like a fat cow! My clothes are too tight and I'm growing by the pound almost daily. I need to get my eating under control, but pregnancy cravings, food aversions, and total appetite change are no joke! I have been cooking more which is good. Now I need to start getting exercise. I'm going to take Andy's advice and possibly start walking around on my lunch breaks. No reason not to unless it's raining. The weather is good now that it is fall. I'm also still super exhausted and can get nauseated from time to time if I don't eat enough or if I eat too much. I really need to try harder to find a happy medium at meal times. The hormones are insane! I started crying, literally bawling my eyes out on Friday at work because I was told I had to take an hour lunch break instead of my promised 30 minutes. Granted the person who told me said it kind of snappy and rude which hurt my feelings, but still...Normally I would not break down sobbing.
Anyways due to my massive weight gain that is probably more fat than baby, I went ahead and purchased some maternity clothes. 2 pairs of leggings, a pair of jeans and some larger sized button down shirts. The leggings are fantastic! So comfy! The Jeans fit alright but are too big at the waist...probably due to lack of baby bump. Hopefully as baby grows they will fit better.
Today is an exciting day for Andy and I!!! We are going to the pumpkin patch to take our pregnancy announcement photos! I can't wait! I will post them later today! We have also decided to go ahead and post them on Facebook and share with the world our fantastic news. It's a little early, but we have decided that every life, now matter how short or how small should be celebrated and so we will celebrate! Plus pretty much everyone already knows.
