<\/a><\/p>\nHow Far Along:<\/strong> 9 weeks (pic 9w5d)<\/p>\n Size of Baby as Relative to Common Household Fruit or Vegetable:<\/strong> Blackberry<\/p>\n Total Weight Gain:<\/strong> As of my OB appointment last week, I\u2019m down at least 5 lbs. from pre-pregnancy weight. Not really surprised given I\u2019ve barely been able to eat for the last few weeks.<\/p>\n Sex:<\/strong>\u00a0Panorama screening is next week. We should know a couple of weeks after that.<\/p>\n Movement:\u00a0<\/strong>Long ways off, and I found out I\u2019ll probably have an anterior placenta, so maybe even further off than usual.<\/p>\n Sleep:<\/strong> I\u2019m tired all the time, but wake up constantly to pee and have been having vivid dreams.<\/p>\n What I miss:<\/strong> Caffeine<\/p>\n Cravings:<\/strong>\u00a0I\u2019m mostly off food, but cakeballs always sound good.<\/p>\n Symptoms:<\/strong>\u00a0The fatigue and aversions are lightening up, but SI joint paint has stepped up in its place. I\u2019m doing exercises to try to get everything realigned, but I foresee support belts, chiropractors, and acupuncturists in my future. This all lines up pretty closely with my pregnancy with Isla.<\/p>\n Emotions:\u00a0<\/strong>Back and forth\u00a0between excited and worried.<\/p>\n PgAL Thoughts: <\/strong>We\u2019ve started moving forward a little with planning. I pulled out my old maternity clothes, washed them, and started sorting through what I can wear and what I can\u2019t. (My pre-pregnancy weight this time around is a lot less than it was with Isla, so a lot of the clothes are too big.) I\u2019ve started looking at ideas for announcements, since we\u2019ve discussed doing that on my husband\u2019s birthday. I\u2019ll be 12 weeks. We\u2019 also started talking about names. I\u2019m eager to start planning, eager to be excited and further into the pregnancy and feeling more comfortable, but at the same time, every time we start to talk about it or I start to make plans, I feel like a fraud. Some nasty part of me starts thinking things like, \u201cWho do you think you\u2019re kidding? This baby won\u2019t stick. Making these plans is a fool\u2019s errand. You\u2019ll never have a baby again. Why are you even wasting your time and emotional energy? This is never. going. to. happen.\u201d I don\u2019t have another ultrasound until October 15, and I\u2019ve been debating whether to cave and ask for another u\/s before then just for peace of mind. At the same time, I know that the reassurance from a u\/s lasts all of 24 hours, so it\u2019s really not useful. Trying to take deep breaths, enjoy this pregnancy, and stop worrying so much. It\u2019s not productive.<\/p>\n Maternity Clothes:<\/strong>\u00a0In the mornings, I don\u2019t need them, but by the evenings, I do\u2013thanks, blump\u2013so I\u2019ve been doing a lot of loose-fitting clothing and belly bands.<\/p>\n Best Moment This Week:<\/strong>\u00a0Maternity clothes shopping with my best friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Check in and see how pregnancy #2 is going at 9 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5307,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[13,65,27,12],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5306","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-belly-pics","8":"category-ian","9":"category-pregnancy","10":"category-surveys","11":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5306"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5306"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5306\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5356,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5306\/revisions\/5356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.mominleggings.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
