9 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  9 weeks!

Size of baby:
about the size of a grape!

Total Weight Gain:  8 lbs.  I can't believe it.   I have got to eat better, or I'm going to be as big as a house!

Maternity Clothes:
Nothing, yet.  But I'm getting close, really, really close.

Gender: We aren't finding out.  We think it's a boy. Murrays only have boys!

Movement: Way too early to feel movement.  I didn't feel Jack until 21 or 22 weeks.

Sleep: Sleep is ok.  I have to get up to go to the bathroom at least once a night and once in a while I have a hard time getting back to sleep.

What I miss:
Being able to wear clothes.  I'm in such an inbetween stage right now.

Cravings: Watermelon. 

Symptoms: Random pregnancy sickness, fatigue, round ligament pain, clogged ears, vivid dreams

Best Moment this week: My first prenatal appointment was today!   My midwife suggested an ultrasound to check my dates, and I was shocked, I didn't have an ultrasound til 18 weeks with Jack.  It was awesome!  Our little baby is a BABY!  He/she has a cute little head, with little arms waving all over the place!   And we could see the heartbeat!  A little tiny baby the size of  a grape!  so so cute!  The size of the baby indicates I'm likely 9 weeks and 4 or 5 days, but I'm not sure about that :)  Anyway, until they actually change my due date, I'm sticking with this.   I'm always for moving the due date up.  I'm not going to get to 40 weeks anyway.
