9 weeks: This week baby is working up to the size of a prune. Teeth buds are forming and it is moving it's very tiny arms and legs.
Symptoms: I have had nausea since early on, luckily with very little vomiting. Things are finally starting to ease up and I can eat fairly normally. I do find myself getting full pretty easily and can rarely finish everything I put on my plate. That never used to be a problem! My skin is bad. I look like a teenager. It's seems that during pregnancy I am prone to zits right on the end of my nose! I wake up looking like Rudolph. I have some pulling sensations in my abdomen which are caused by everything growing and stretching. I have to pee all the time. I thought this came later when the baby is jumping on your bladder but evidently pregnancy makes your kidneys work more efficiently and you begin running to the bathroom fairly early on. Finally, this might be TMI but hey, you ARE reading a pregnancy blog, my boobs hurt. Even the seatbelt brushing across them causes me to tense!
Cravings/Aversions: The other night I was craving a cheese sandwich (tasted awesome!), love tangerines, juice of any kind, Chinese food (but I crave that normally so maybe that's not a baby thing). I hate the smell of coconut and I currently don't like onion rings. Nothing to crazy so far!
I hope to start posting bump pictures soon. I'm ashamed to say I have a bit of a belly already. I wasn't skinny before and since I've been pregnant I have lost all ability to suck in my gut. I know whatever bump I had is just bloat at this point but the fact of the matter is my pants are tight and I just don't care what's causing it. Interestingly enough, I have actually lost weight but you'd never be able to tell it!
