10 Weeks (Catch-Up)

Written August 23-27

I am starting to feel SO much better this week. I haven't been nauseous at all this week so far and it's made a world of a difference. Morale is boosted and life is good around the casa. I got in a 7 mile run on Sunday morning, and it was the best long run I've had in weeks. Guessing that not wanting to vom on the side of the trail had something to do with it? ;)

ALSO- every time Grace wakes up from a nap or in the morning, I will ask her if she had sweet dreams and what they were about. A lot of the time she just looks at me funny and smiles, like "No clue what you're talking about mom..." On Saturday after her nap, she looked at me, smiled and said "Baby." I about died. I asked her if she was a really good big sister and she nodded and said "uh-huh." And then I died again. So sweet. :)

Survey says...

How far along?: 10 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Not sure. Are you guys dying to know? Maybe I'll dig out the scale this week. Normal clothes still fit.

Maternity clothes?: Nope.

Sleep: Up 3-4x per night.

Best moment of the week: My top moment early on in the week was eating my first veggie/hummus wrap in WEEKS and loving it. Grace's nap comment totally topped that.

Movement: Nope.

Food Cravings: Cereal with almond milk. Jolly Ranchers. Still having some serious food aversions, but dealing.

Gender: Def no twinnie jokes anymore. I must have been really bloated a few weeks ago. Still thinking girl.

Belly Button: Innie.

Stretchmarks?: Nope.

What I miss: Not much.

What I am looking forward to: Getting seriously back on the running/workout train. Registration appointment next week and scheduling regular appointments from there.

Weekly Wisdom: Morning/mid-day workouts are much easier to stick to than trying to wait until Grace goes to bed around 8pm. By then I'm ready to rest myself and lose steam. Trying to plan accordingly.

Milestones: Feeling pretty normal aside from some mid afternoon exhaustion. Here's to finishing up the next few weeks of the first tri feeling good! (Hopefully...)
