Pregnancy: 10 Weeks Bump Update

The summer is off with a big bang and boy is it a busy one. I had my kids this week so I tried my best to take them on as many adventures as I could. Needless to say, we had a blast and I am going to miss them so much tomorrow when they leave. On the weeks they are not here, I stay busy with work and now planning on this babys arrival. I still have to get a nursery ready! Nothing really new this week-still planning our Disney trip and trucking along. I pretty much just focused on the kiddos the whole time as I typically do when I have them every other week. I got to stop my Progesterone in Oil shots and Estrogen patches this week becasue the placenta started kicking in and creating its own hormones for the pregnancy. I did ask the nurse if I could wean off though instead of quitting cold turkey because that gave me a bit of anxiety. It was a very fun, busy week for us!

How far along? 10 weeks

Baby size: a strawberry

Total weight gain: 128.5lbs

Maternity clothes? Nope but I have a feeling I will need some soon.

Stretch marks? No.

Sleep: I am still tired! Started having insomnia this week.. but I think its because I switched to Zoloft and my body is getting used to that.

Workouts: Back to normal, lifting heavier and going on daily walks.

Diet: My tastes have been weird this week-I have not had many cravings or really wanted anything at all.

Best moment this week:  Taking my kids on various adventures to Urban Air, children’s park, movies, arcade, swimming in our pool, making bracelets with Evie, doing a 300 piece 3D puzzle, and paint by numbers. We have been so busy but my heart is full and I want to make the most out of my summer with my babies. We also had our new chicken coop built this week!

Miss anything? My energy for sure.

Food cravings: Not much this week. Oddly not wanting things I have been craving.

Anything making you queasy or sick? My body still hates being hungry-I have to snack often or I will feel sick.

Gender: We will find out at 15 weeks. I scheduled our appointment for July 20. Kids are coming!! 🙂

Labour signs: No!

Symptoms: Extreme fatigue. Food aversions.

Belly button in or out? In! It never popped out the last 2 times.

Wedding rings on or off: On.

Notes:

I found out I was pregnant at just 3 weeks of pregnancy after we did our frozen embryo transfer. If you haven’t followed my IVF journey, check out my frozen embryo transfer blog and my egg retrieval blog. Long story short, my husband was infertile due to the structure of his reproductive system-his vas deferens were missing so IVF was the only way and it worked the first try!

I have not been pregnant in 8 years almost so it is wild that I am doing it all over again and hope to do it only fourth and final time in another two-three years. Wish us luck and love! I will be doing these pregnancy progression bump updates weekly so you can “grow” with me along with a bump photo + questions about my pregnancy.
