10 weeks today :) and A Happy Birthday greeting!

I'm starting up the pregnancy questionaire again for baby #2, so here we go :)

How far along? 10 weeks today

Total weight gain/loss:  I think a couple lbs...I haven't weighed myself recently lol

Maternity clothes?  Not yet, I hope to avoid them again this time...I fortunately have normal clothes that are pretty flowy and when I get bigger, they still fit just fine (just not as flowy) lol  I have a feeling that I'm going to have to cave in when the weather gets colder though because I don't really have warm pregnancy friendly clothing

Stretch marks? Just the ones from Adrian...I hope that he stretched me out enough that I won't get any new ones ;)

Sleep: Sleep is pretty good still.  I have been getting some hip pain if I'm laying on one side too long.  Also, I get up I think twice a night to use the restroom...baby already pushing on the bladder lol

Best moment this week: I'd have to say that tomorrow will probably be the best moment because we finally get to go to our first prenatal visit and hear the baby's heartbeat, so I am really looking forward to that :)

Movement: None yet, but I'm hoping that by 14 weeks I'll be able to feel something...that's when I felt Adrian moving, so we'll see

Cravings: I think my biggest craving has been pizza...not sure why, but it always sounds good LOL 

Gender: Won't know for another 10 weeks, but I'm hoping the nausea & face breakouts are signs pointing towards a girl :)

Labor Signs:  None, and lets keep it that way for 30 more weeks!

Belly Button in or out? Still in, but my belly sure looks different at this point than when I was pregnant with Adrian

Rings on or off? Still on...I have a feeling that I may have to take them off at some point this time because my engagement ring is smaller than my promise ring.

What I miss: I miss feeling normal, and not so nauseous most of the time :P  and I guess the occassional summer-time drink haha, but I've gladly given that up for a healthy baby :)

What I am looking forward to: I am looking forward to listening to the heartbeat for sure!  I'm also looking forward to our family reunion coming up on Thursday...we're going to Montana :)  Hoping that the weather is a little more friendly outside than here haha

Weekly Wisdom: Manny and I went to the Bodies exhibit, and seeing the fetal development exhibit was pretty cool in that we got to see where our baby is in development, and at this stage, the baby actually looks like a baby and not so alien anymore :) And it is bigger than I thought at this point too!  Below is a picture I found that shows the size of a 10 week baby

Milestones: 10 weeks...almost the end of the 1st trimester and hopefully the end of nausea goes along with it!  Can't believe it's already been 5 weeks since we announced our pregnancy!  Time flies!

Here's the newest pic of my "baby bump"...we're growing :)




I also wanted to wish Ava Kathryn a very Happy (Belated) Birthday!  Since she was born when I was in Oregon (June 26th!!), I didn't get to make a special post for her.  She is such a sweet little baby :)  She wasn't too happy the first day we met her, but she was a pretty hungry girl with an upset tummy too.  I'm so glad we were able to spend some time with her a couple days later though!  Congrats Jessica & Justin, you have a beautiful baby and a beautiful family!
