How far along:10 weeks and 1 day ;)
Total weight gain/loss: +7 #'s since my last recorded pre preg weight
Maternity clothes: I bought 1 pair of capris from target for $6.50- they fit a little funny in the thighs but my belly has room to breath and doesn't make a bigger muffin top!
Stretch marks: No, and hopefully never.
Sleep: have been more tired lately but working 12's so that takes a lot out... usually up a few times during the night because my feet or legs fell asleep... this is only gonna get worse too :(
Best moment last week: Seeing our HUGE baby!
Movement: Still too early.
Food cravings: hmmm I am liking everything... I see or think it I want it... I was really bummed when I didn't have my lemonade iced tea this morning... but I will survive!
Gender: I think it's a he :)
Labor Signs: Heck NO!
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: I have really wanted an Amarretto sour lately..... :(
What I am looking forward to: Going to see my OB in a few weeks.
Milestones: seeing how big he has gotten in 2.5 weeks!!
Here is what babycenter says he is up to this week :)
Although he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Ultrasound #2
We now have a gummy bear ;) The picture doesn't really do it justice at all.... but there is a big head a big ole belly and cute little stumpy arms and legs :)
Everything looked good heartbeat was there... this was a quick down and dirty appointment- apparently they forgot that I have my own OB so we did the standard testing stuff-- pap, culture, pee test and such and he did an ultrasound (obviously) just to make sure everything was going well- and then I was out the door- I haven't called my OB yet- I have my annual scheduled for June sometime- so I just have to call and get that switched to a prenatal. Still feeling pretty good- tired... stuffed my face and then layed on the couch and fell asleep for almost 2 hours until mom called and woke me up! and now of course my tummy isn't feeling the greatest... It always feels gross after I nap... gonna go in search of some food... made all the phone calls today so everyone is happy.... back to work tomorrow through monday-- yeah for a holiday weekend! :)
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend... work shouldn't be too horrendous! till next time!
oh and ps I think Adam was totally robbed last night on idol!!! now on to so you think you can dance :)

9 weeks and counting...
Here is what lil sticky is up to this week....
How your baby's growing:Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.
Still feeling pretty good... have some moments of "ugh"ness but pretty much just feeling fat... Next doctors appointment is on Thursday... anxiously awaiting....
Other than that-- we were busy in the yard this weekend which was awesome but we both have been paying for it dearly since.... the side yard bed is done- just have to plant a few more plants I picked up yesterday. Nick dug out the burn pit so now we have a nice huge pile of stuff behind the shed. But it looks beautiful! Our next weekend off together isn't until the begining of June and then we are tackling the front side bed- that if full of little white rocks and a bunch of weeds... My vision is to lay a small square of patio blocks and put a little bistro set out there and have it surrounded by a bunch of climbing stuff :) we will take what we can get-- if we can get the rocks out and get dirt and mulch down I will be a happy camper :)
I should probably get back to work....

sooo sleepy.....
I am stuck at work-- again-- of course by my own scheduling... I ate a huge lunch-chinese- it was delish!- and now I am sooooo tired! Didn't sleep very well last night- got home shortly after 9 finished watching the Brewers kick the Cubbies butt! and then off to bed.. but of course the thunderstorms rolled in... and there were some HUGE booms and BRIGHT light-which made it even harder to fall asleep.... and then of course was up at 1230 to go to pee... and then 0525 to get to work....
and now I should do some work... feeling well today-- I am sure now that I said that something will pop up!
oh yeah and today marks 8 weeks! I can't believe it!- it feels like it is taking forever though!! Lil sticky is about the size of a raspberry(or a kidney bean depending on the site you look at) now -
from baby center:
New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways.

Better....
Well I have been feeling better.. I am definitly more tired now! Still getting a few waves through out the day.. but nothing last too long- mornings are the worse- nothing sounds or tastes very good- tried cinnamon & spice oatmeal... didn't get very far with that- yogurt going better... Sleeping has been a feat though- I can't get comfortable and when I do it's not long before I have to move because some appandage fell asleep!and then of course the bathroom breaks- so far just once a night and then usually right away in the morning...
We have been enjoying our beautiful weather this weekend! Did some yardwork and chores on saturday then off to a wedding reception.. Sunday we went to the Brewer game with another couple and did some tailgating! We had some pretty good seats - they were in the sun almost 100% of the time- so it was a tad warm- but we heard people in the shade were freezing!! And of course no sunscreen! So my face is a little painful!! But we WON so that is all that matters!!
Home today then back to work tomorrow and then thursday through sunday- it's gonna be a long week! Both dogs have managed to start my day off well- Briggs chewed up one of my slippers during the early morning hours... and then started heaving during breakfast... got him out in time- then Gracie just started a few minutes ago... who knew that pine needles aren't easily digested?! Crazy dogs.
