This week Matt and I shared the happy news with some extended family members--aunts, uncles, and cousins. And I even spilled the beans to a few of my closer friends who I knew would give me heck when they noticed I wasn't indulging in alcohol while being around them. My father-in-law told our family during dinner prayer on Memorial Day and the news really stunned everyone! And to tell my aunt and uncle and cousins who lives in Newfoundland, Canada, we were able to Skype with them. All in all, it felt great to finally share news of Baby Sehner to our closet family members.
How far along: 10
1/2 weeks
Gender: Don’t
know yet
Total weight gain:
Haven’t checked since last time
Movement: Still
too early
Food cravings: Macaroni
and cheese
Signs of pregnancy:
Still dealing with my superhuman sense of smell when it comes to fragrances. I’ve
been getting more nauseous over it, too. But I’m always equipped with Saltines!
Sleep: Not too
tired in the late afternoons anymore. But I’m going to bed pretty early—bedtime
is usually by 10pm.
Labor signs: Nope
Happy or moody? I’ve
gotten a better handle on my emotions as I’m trying to avoid becoming the “crazy-psycho
pregnant lady” towards my hubby and family.
Stretch marks?
None
Maternity clothes?
Not yet
Wedding rings on or
off? On
Miss anything? Strawberries.
They have a really fragrant sweet smell that clashes with my sense of smell.
Best moment of the
week: Hhmm-ing and haw-ing with Matt over whether we’re having a girl or a
boy. He firmly believes he’s produced a boy. But because of his overconfidence,
I’m thinking God has other plans in store for us J
Looking forward to:
Our next doctor’s visit, which will be our 12-week check-up. This time Matt
will get to go to the appointment (he missed the first one due to work) and I’m
excited for him to see Baby Sehner on the sonogram and hear baby’s heartbeat!
