10 weeks 4 days today! We saw my IVF doctor for the last time yesterday. I am going to miss them there, they were so great and so on top of everything that it gave me such piece of mind, even in a high stress time period. I really felt like I was in the best hands. I know anything could have happened but they’ve been so quick to move on things that Its felt good!

Friday we meet our new OB doctor. I’ve decided to switch practices because I didn’t like how some of the miscarriages and stuff were handled, even when they had reason to suspect I had some fertility issues going on. I just felt like a lot of things went ignored and I needed a clean slate with someone new! They see you at 10 weeks for the first time, which I feel like is super late,  but I’m going into it with a head start, so its exciting!

I got some REALLY exciting news late last week, that my BEST FRIEND is 4 weeks ahead of me, so I am sooooo excited to share in our pregnancy journey together and that our kids will be so close in age! Its always nice to have someone going through the same thing as you, and we’ll be on maternity leave together!! It just further proves my point that everything happens for a reason and exactly when it’s supposed to, now I can share this pregnancy with her!

Here is my 10 week Recap!

How far along? 10 weeks 4 days

Total weight gain/loss: 3.1 pounds

Maternity Clothes? Not yet, will be considering maternity jeans soon though perhaps.

Stretch marks? No

Sleep: Good, as long as Ada doesn’t wake up. Still need to go to bed by 10pm, and when I wake up I still sometimes feel as though I could use another couple hours. I still wake up on my stomach some mornings, which is not the most comfortable way anymore.

Best moment this week: Our last sonogram with the IVF doc yesterday, any excuse to see pictures! Another one on Friday too, AND we FINALLY sold our house!! It will be official this evening after they finish the home inspection, but its a cash offer, so we don’t have to deal with the bank or any assessments and stuff which feels AMAZING! We also put an offer in on my dream home, it was slightly over budget, but has everything we want! Waiting to hear if they are accepting our offer or not! Fingers Crossed!!

Have you told family and friends: We have told most of our immediate family and closest friends. Both Dan and I have let it slip a couple times to people who we interact with on a daily basis, co-workers and such! But after yetserday’s doctor appointment I feel much more confident that everything is just fine, and we can start telling more people. Its going to be hard to hide soon enough!

Miss Anything? I’ve been fairly good lately, the smell of alcohol is a major turn off so I haven’t had too much trouble with that. The tailbone pain that I had with Ada is slowly creeping back, which is disappointing because I remember that being my biggest complaint with her early on. Its showing up much later this time around, so hopefully it won’t last too long!

Movement: The baby was moving like crazy in our sonogram yesterday, flailing arms and legs all over the place, it was so cute! I love the early sonos because the baby is still small enough to see everything. I swear when I was laying still on the table during the sono that I felt a small pulse or heart beat in there, and they told me I was probably feeling it move since it was going crazy! (I can’t wait till I don’t have to call it an “IT” anymore!)

Food cravings:  I have a major sweet tooth which I hate, buying candy in the checkout line is not like me and I don’t like eating that kinda garbage, but I just want it so much! Mostly fruity things, like airheads, starbursts, sour patch kids! Doesn’t help that Ada always asks for it, so I’m just like “yeah, throw it in”.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really, I haven’t had too much nausea at all in the past week or so. Once in awhile (when I’m hungry) as usual, and I’m pretty much always hungry, but I’ll basically eat just about anything!

Have you started to show yet: A little bit, definitely at night, and I can push my stomach out and make it look really big, or when I suck it in, only the top goes in and the lower abs don’t move anymore! Ada loves when I push my tummy out.

Gender prediction: I’m still inclined to say boy by timing, Dan thinks Girl because he’s just going to get all girls, Ada still flip flops. The heart beat was 169 yesterday which would suggest girl, but they also said with the amount of moving it was doing, its not a surprise that it was so high. She said they like to see anything over 120 bpm. My face has been breaking out a little and the sweet tooth would suggest girl too, so most signs pointing to girl right now!

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off?  On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Pretty happy, the moodiness of last week has subsided, thankfully, I’m definitely more patient with Ada again (for the most part). It helps that we have an offer on the house, so we haven’t had to do showings and stuff which has taken another layer of stress off. The search for our house has been a bit stressful, but now I am just super hopeful that we found our perfect place and we can move on!

Looking forward to: Friday will be our first appt. with the new doctor, another sonogram (and probably our last until the gender one). Excited to hear back about our house offer, the home inspection on our place is today, which I hope goes well. If we hear back from our offer, we’ll probably try to do a home inspection Friday or Saturday before we leave for Vacation, and of course, I am looking forward to vacation next week, hopefully all the house stress will be behind us, I am confident about the baby being well and we’ll be able to relax and have fun as a family! Lot’s and lot’s to look forward to right now!!

Here is our latest sonogram from yesterday, and I’ll skip the baby bump picture this week since it doesn’t look much different from last week and instead leave with a picture of an amazing rainbow from last night. I think it was a sign that our Rainbow baby is giving us a new life to look forward to and good luck in our near future!!
