Week 10

 

Welp, SURPRISE. As of right now, only a few of you know. So to those who may see this in the weeks to come and who have not already guessed from my insanely clever blog title: WE ARE HAVING A BABY. For anyone who has seen my recent attempts at blogging, it is not really my thing, and I'm not exactly consistent, but this is a huge event in our life and I will try to stay on top of it.  I would also like to note that there is no exaggeration in the title of "There's Something In The Water". It seems that everyone I know is expecting, which is great! We have a trio group of couples here at BYU-H and you could say we are all best buds..and coincidentally, all three wives have found out we/they are pregnant. So here is what has happened so far: We had our first prenatal appointment a couple weeks ago. I might be a week behind what we think we are, based on the size of the baby at the time of the appointment, so a more accurate due date will be confirmed at our next appointment! Besides that, everything was fine and dandy. We were able to see and hear the heart beat. That is a miracle all on it's own. Words cannot describe how excited and anxious Daniel and I are for what is happening. This is a blessing greater than we could have imagined.

So here we go with the "up-to-date" preggo questions everything is dying to see answered:

(I'm sorry if they seem monotomous from week to week, but they are more or less for me to track progress)

 

How far along: 10 weeks, we think...

Due date: June 02, 2014

Total weight gain: None.

Maternity clothes: Nope, bring on the skinny jeans.

Stretch marks: Hopefully never.

Sleep: I can't remember what it feels like to sleep through the night. I wake up about six times on average.

Best moment of this week: Just talking pregnant bizz with Daniel. He's the cutest when he talks about our baby :)

Miss anything: Sleep, and not feeling tired all the time. And crab legs, don't even get me started on the fact that I can't eat crab legs for the next long while...

Movement: Negative.

Food cravings: I want salty things, and buffalo wings, all the time.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing in particular, but the morning sickness that seems to stick around all day kind of stinks.

Have you started to show yet: I feel fatter, but no.

Gender: The world may never know.

Labor signs: That's a looong ways off.

Belly button in or out: Inny, but I'm rooting for an outty towards the end.

Wedding ring on or off: On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Tired, so I don't know which category to classify that in. I am overly happy about everything that is happening, but being exhausted all the time takes it's toll on my mood at times as well. Sorry Daniel.

 

So, that's what is going on in the life of the Barnes family. I probably won't start doing pictures until week 12 or 13, so stay posted for those!
