Week #10 Update

It's weird to me to think I'm almost out of the 1st trimester. It's gone so quickly, yet it's also been slow. I still have not yet gotten super sick but I did experience some different symptoms this week that I noted below.

I know I won't completely decorate the nursery until we get much closer, but it hasn't stopped me from thinking of the theme as well as acquiring a few items that go with my theme :) My theme is Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes and I've had a pretty good vision of how I want the nursery to look when it's time.

I pondered over one item for quite a few weeks before I actually purchased it on eBay. It arrived this week and I'm excited because it kind of summarizes the overarching visual aspect that I'm going for :)

Here is the switch plate I bought:


I have a few other decor items from Jim Shore. I need to purchase one or two more before I'm satisfied with the set. Once I'm complete with those I'll post pictures.

How far along: 10 weeks, 6 days
Total Weight Gain/LossUp 1 or 2 this week
Maternity clothes: Not really. Tested out my Bella Bands again this week.
Major SymptomsHad a persistent headache for a few days this week. It was NOT fun. I gave in and actually had some Diet Coke one day while at a training conference and it provided only temporary relief. I definitely felt like I was going through some hormonal changes because the headache was also accopmanied by an acne breakout. I'd also say I'm sicker to my stomach this week but I'm able to relieve it through being gassy hehe. I've also had a few incidents where  some throw up has come up my throat, but it's never been enough to make me actually throw up. I've got some pretty big food aversions but they change every day and pretty much every hour. I find hardly anything appetizing. I also get full extremely fast, which is disappointing.
Stretch marksNope
SleepSleeping better this week. Last night I even slept all the way until 6:30am without having to get up to pee! 
Best moment last weekFeeling better after the headache.
MovementI *thought* I felt a weird flutter this week - and I'm CERTAIN it wasn't gas. I think it's too early to be anything though.
Food cravings/aversions: I finally bought some gummy candies. I NEVER eat that stuff, but I just had to have some.
Belly button - in or out? In
Labor signs: Not yet
What I miss: Having energy to do things around the house that I want. I'm lucky I did the laundry and vacuumed the upstairs today :P Oh, and I went grocery shopping. If it was a normal Sunday I'd also have energy to do some crafting, but most of my day today was spent in front of the TV :P
What I am looking forward to: The next appointment with the midwives on the 23rd!
MilestonesNone at this time.
