Rainbow Baby | Week 7

1. Number of weeks: 7 weeks, 1 day 

2. Due Date: April 1, 2016 

3. Gender: Nope. Not finding out this time :) The Chinese Gender Prediction Charts {laugh if you want!} says a girl... it was correct with John & Ellie! So, we'll see lol. Obviously, we don't have a preference. 

4. Baby size:  roughly the size of a blueberry.

5. Weight gain/loss: none

6. Maternity Clothes?: Nope. Just first trimester bloat. 

7. Stretch marks?: No

8. How's the sleep?:  I have no problems napping during the day. Sleeping at night though is a different story. 

9. Best moment this week?:  Nothing really specific that I can think of? The kids have generally been good & happy. I was feeling like crap yesterday and Nathan took care of the kids for me after work and went to the store. I really appreciated that.

10. Missing anything?:  No, not really. I'm thankful for every pregnancy symptom.

11. Baby Movements?:  No. Just some round ligament pains if I bend or roll over too quickly.

12. Cravings:  Watermelon & Ice cold drinks. I've been drinking a lot of gatorade because sometimes water makes me sick. 

13. What makes you sick or queasy?:  Meat. Lily (our puppy). Dirty diapers. Dirty dishes. Trash can. Any drinks that aren't practically frozen. Water, sometimes.

14. Any pregnancy symptoms?: 

+ fatigue
+ bloated
+ acid reflux
+ crying/mood swings
+ acne
+ nausea/vomiting
+ some round ligament pains

15. Labor signs?:  no... 

16. Your mood is...?:  Trying to stay positive. My Sonogram is on Monday & more than anything I want to see or hear a heartbeat. I've been having awful nightmare this past week when I do sleep, that I'm sitting in a chair or a couch and when I get up I'm soaked in blood. I woke myself up the first time crying. Hoping once Monday comes those nightmares will stop. Its also tough this week because sometime in the 7th/8th week, I lost the 'baby a' last time. So, I feel like I have to hold my breath until week 8.. 9 really since that's the week the miscarriage actually took place.

17. Looking forward to?:  The sonogram on August 17th. I am just praying to see a healthy little baby with n o subchrionic {sp} hemorrhaging {all the free moving blood that was in my uterus} like with my last pregnancy.
