As a way to chronicle this pregnancy, I thought I’d follow along the footsteps of one of my favorite bloggers, Little Baby Garvin, and create a chalkboard every week from now on to see how big this baby bump gets. Yeah, I know its cheesy, but really, this blog has always been a way that I’ve kept my memories in one place from our engagement, wedding, and married life up until now. I think Baby Bump Monday will be the perfect idea!
How far along: I am 10 weeks along this week!
Gender: Not sure yet.
Weight gain: I honestly haven’t looked at a scale since we went to the first doctor appointment 3 weeks ago. Just trying to eat healthy!
Maternity clothes: Just bought my first maternity pants for work this week, a maternity top for the baby bump pictures, and a couple tops from an adorable maternity boutique online. I may or may not have had a meltdown about shopping for maternity clothes- not because I was buying them, but because I had no clue where to begin and the clothes just look so elastic-y. It scared me.
Stretch marks: None yet!
Belly button in or out: Innie fo’ shizzy
Sleep: Sleeping is pretty good this week. I get up about 4 times a night to pee, and I have really vivid dreams, but otherwise I am sleeping pretty well. I’m starting to get hot at night though, and I’m starting to freeze Mathew at night.
Best moment this week: Mathew came home and put his head right by my tummy and told the baby “hello”. I thought it was incredibly sweet, especially because I don’t even think it has ears yet! Haha!
Miss anything: Iced tea. Man, I had no idea how much I really love iced tea! I used to have a glass every day for lunch, and pretty much would order it whenever I’d go out to eat. Now I find myself ordering water or Sprite, and I’m kind of getting sick of it. Blah.
Movement: None yet! I can’t wait for that week, though!
Cravings: I’ve really been wanting ice cream or limes. Not together, but they just sound really good. I also saw a recipe on The Chew with Nutella and I’ve been wanting it now for a couple days. It’s probably good that I don’t keep Nutella in the house.
Queasy or sick: I get queasy pretty easily right now. Any kind of remotely bad smell sends me to the other room to dry heave or throw up. Also not eating for a few hours makes me nauseated too.
Looking forward to: Our next baby appointment next week! By then the baby will be 11 weeks and hopefully he or she won’t look like a little blueberry anymore!

Congrats on the new addition!
You can make homemade ice tea that is decaf. My fav is Moroccan Mint by Stash tea. Its much more tasty than water. Adding sliced fruit to water is another yummy way to make it tasty. Raspberries, oranges, kiwi, blueberries, pineapple. just about any fruit is good.

I missed sweet tea too but I still would drink through my pregnancy. They say you can have a certain amount (can’t remember how much exactly) and a medium sweet tea is perfectly fine to have so let yourself have that craving every once in a while, you deserve it!
