He or she is so little, you can see the little arms and legs. Almost looks like a hamster! My what to expect when your expecting app told me its only the size of an olive, turning into the size of a prune this week. It seems to be going by pretty fast already. thinking im 9 weeks. I cant wait to start showing. i have always wanted a baby bump! Its funny because when I get full, or just bloated, i look like i have a baby bump. Its like it has nowhere to go except for out.
During the ultra sound we also heard the heartbeat. A very strong heartbeat it was at 170bpm. Also, after the ultra sound i had a check up with my dr. to have my lab results back and she was looking at the ultrasound, and the size and what nots. She said "Wow, you are only 9 weeks? You got a good size baby for only 9 weeks" The ultra sound lady also said everything looks perfect so far.
I had my first weird craving last week (at 8 weeks) I was making myself a baked potato for lunch and all of a sudden i got this craving to put cinnamon sugar on it. weird. I didnt end up putting it on, but i was sure thinking about it. Then just yesterday (at 9 weeks) I was eating cheetos puffs and saw a jar of peanut butter and i really wanted to dip my cheetos in the peanut butter. Again I did not induldge but the thought was there. I am wondering if the further i get along if the cravings become more unbearable that I will NEED IT. Lol we will see.
Now I have heard about having vivid weird dreams while pregnant (I already had vivid weird dreams since i was little, so i didnt think that would be effected) but this week it has sure hit.
One dream was about high class prosititutes that cost $50,000 a night that all lived in a house, and a man fell in love with one, and she fell in love back. and he found out they were kept there in chains when they werent being used. then all of a sudden i was in the body of the girl and andy was in the body of the man and he was trying to plan the escape of his love and the rest of the girls. We had to go through chest deep water still in chains, and i remember walking over bodies. ew. and we exited around my dads house by the pool and andy was helping all the girls out then chopping down trees. and my uncle paul came out and helped him chop down the trees and setting them on fire to block the exit. yeah that was strange.
another dream. it was me, but i was a man, and i had a bunch of antiques that i had collected over the years and i wanted to open my own shop. so i found an open spot in downtown rockford that happened to be on the third floor. i opened my own store selling snakes, butterflies and antiques. but i only filled up half the store. so i went to the second floor of the building where i found another man opening up an antique store selling snakes. so i told him to join stores with me and we had an antique store also selling snakes and butterflies.
And last night i dreamt i was driving to chicago in a jeep and then all of a sudden ALL the traffic stopped and a big loud noise said. traffic will be stopped for about an hour due to them filming kung fu panda 3 (which i didnt think in my dream that it was animated lol) so i made a sharp turn (and in this dream i am really pregnant, big belly everything.) and i found an open road, i then started going over this HUGE bridge (like the size of the san fransisco bridge, but still in chicago) well then the car breaks down. i get out of the car and the bridge shook and the jeep was halfway hanging off the bridge. Then i started going into labor and andy comes running towards me and picks me up and starts running cuz i dont want to give birth on a bridge. and he ran me all the way to the hospital.
The really weird thing about that last dream is i was talking to andy this morning and i was asking him how his day was going and he said good but his arms were really sore, like his biceps up to his shoulders and i said was it because you carried a pregnant woman across a huge bridge in chicago all the way to the hospital. he laughed and was like WHAT?! lol it was pretty funny.
So far that is my week 9. I'll let you know if anything else happens.
