10 weeks!

10 weeks today! Apparently baby is now considered a fetus (instead of an embryo), has completed the most critical period of development and is now about the size of a prune.

I've been feeling mostly okay the past week. I have good days and bad days. There is always that lingering nausea/yucky feeling, but it's been more in the background. Mostly. Other times I feel well and truly crap, like last night where all I could do was lie on the couch feeling sorry for myself and moaning. I tend to feel pretty bad first thing in the morning, usually before I've eaten. I had a spew through the week one morning - though because it was early in the morning the only thing I had to spew was water and stomach fluid. Gross. I am working out what sets me off though, so am being a bit more strategic. I have to try and eat first thing and not breath in the smells around our kitchen, especially the fridge and pantry. Hopefully though, I am over the worst of it and things will continue to improve. I am still needing a nap most days though. I mean, I'm sure I could probably get by without them if I had to, but while hubby is home I am making the most of it. And I do actually fall asleep, so I must need them to some degree.

I have my doctor's appointment this morning, in about two hours actually. I think it's just to organise my 12 week scan - thank goodness. I am hanging out for it. Even though things seem to be developing normally this pregnancy, I still can't shake that niggle of worry that something is wrong, or the baby has died. Normal to worry though, and nothing I can do about it anyway. Hopefully once I've had the scan I can allow myself to actually feel excited about this pregnancy - cause so far all I feel is sick.

I weighed myself this morning as I do every week, and again I've lost a little bit of weight - now sitting at 68.8kg. I'm kind of surprised actually, as I am managing to eat a lot more these days. Still, not healthy weight loss. Exercise is still non-existent, and my food consumption is gradually starting to move more and more into the unhealthy region. I seem to be able to eat that stuff easier than anything though! I'm not giving up though. I will start going walking more as I start getting more energy, and eating better once I feel less sick. I caught a whiff of the little man eating an apple before and it smelt okay, so I may even attempt an apple sometime.

Bloating has been pretty phenomenal this week... as you can see:

I look way more pregnant than I am! But not all the time... though it is becoming a more regular thing. Considering how small baby is, I doubt it's much of my actually baby belly.

And my belly pic for 10 weeks:

I think I can see a difference this week... but then again, I think I'm wearing a smaller sized singlet, so that may have something to do with it too.
