Pregnancy Quiz

I feel like I have to guard myself in case the worst happens, but on the other hand I don't want to remember my pregnancy as being a miserable and stressful 9 months. I have to remind myself (sometimes several times a day) "Worrying will not change the outcome". I religiously check the toilet paper for blood each time I wipe. I panic with every twinge of pain. I can't even tell you the last time my hubby and I have done the deed, for fear it will cause a miscarriage (poor hubby). I know it's silly, but I just lost a baby a few months ago! The pain is still fresh in my mind. I pray to God everyday that he will not allow that to ever happen to me again!

I feel like I am testing my luck by getting so excited about this baby growing inside of me, but I saw this quiz on another blog so I wanted to give it a try.

How far along: 7 weeks today

Who knows: You do! We haven't made an official announcement, but we plan to after next week's ultrasound. My mom and BFF know and a few of my ex coworkers. I'm not very good at secrets.

Symptoms: Nausea (more so when I allow myself to get hungry) and headaches. The same symptoms as my previous pregnancies sans the tender/ sore breasts.


Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself and I don't want to right now since I didn't lose all the weight from my previous pregnancy!

Maternity clothes: I'm not wearing any maternity clothes yet, but I did buy some shirts recently from Old Navy.

Stretch marks: Nothing new!

Sleep: By 9 o'clock I can barely keep my eyes open, but my previous 2 pregnancies I was much more tired. I'm wondering if it just hasn't hit yet.

Best moment last week: I don't think there was any. I started a new position at work, so I have lots of training classes, applications to learn and coworkers to get to know. My grandma passed away and my friend had brain surgery. But if I had to pick something, I would say Olivia deciding (for herself) that she will go on the potty now. All the candy, stickers and bribes didn't work. She just started going on the toilet and has been going since Wednesday. Ha!

Movement: The baby is the size of a blueberry, but I have those feelings like a butterfly is tickling my insides.

Food cravings: Varies, but I've been thinking about fresh fruit lately!

Belly Button in or out: IN!

What I miss: Cappuccino and Coke (I'm trying to not drink any caffeine)

What I am looking forward to: My ultrasound March 11th!

Milestones: Hoping to hear the heartbeat next week.

How is daddy? He is so excited about the baby and is looking forward to the ultrasound next week. Although he is usually guarded and doesn't allow himself to get too excited about things, I can tell he is hopeful that this pregnancy will go as planned. He's already planning and figuring things out.
