Sweet Pea: 10 Weeks
Weight: 130 (Time to bring up those maternity clothes. Momma is getting a bump!)
Signs of pregnancy: This is going to sound so crazy but I feel Sweet Pea moving already. Seriously, I do. It isn’t gas or a hungry stomach. I thought I felt moving last week but attributed it to gas. When I got my weekly email this week it mentioned that second time moms can start feeling their baby move this early! There was a whole message board of women who were nine weeks pregnant and feeling their babies move already. Friday night I was burning the midnight oil on a work project. I had just gotten done eating dinner and while I was reading a legal document I had my hand on my belly. Sweet Pea kept moving around on my right side! I completely lost concentration and probably wrote the wrong legal verbiage to my client! Feeling a baby move inside of you is out of this world.
In addition, I also realized I have signs of pregnancy but I wasn’t attributing them to pregnancy. Polite way to say it: I am releasing hot air. Honest way to say it: Momma has some serious gas. WOOH! This gas is silent, but deadly. It is so bad sometimes that it wakes me up in the middle of the night. I’m so glad that Mary Rene doesn’t have a super sniffer like me or else she would wake up crying. Sometimes I smell it, but dont’ feel it, so I can’t tell if it was me or if Mary Rene pooped. Frank has even walked in the room and made a comment about the smell. When I told him that I didn’t know if it was me or Mary Rene pooping, he just doesn’t get it.
Baby Developments: Sweet Pea is over an inch long and now the size of a kumquat. Sweet Pea is busy building his/her tissues and organs and working hard to grown into a full-size baby. What has he/she built? His/her kidneys, intestines, brain and liver, just to name a few.
Just for grins, here is what Sweet Pea might look like right now.
Looks like a baby to me!
Thoughts: Sweet Pea is starting to mess up my good sleep. We finally got Mary Rene to sleep through the night…and now I am peeing in the night. Every night I have woken up to pee, and on two occasions, it happened to be while Mary Rene was stirring. I tried, tried, tried, my hardest to hold my bladder until she settled back down but I just couldn’t. So on two occasions, she woke up crying when she heard me thumping out of bed. Sweet Pea, be a sweetie and let me sleep.
Concerns: No concerns this week since I feel little Sweet Pea moving around!

Feeling the baby was by far the greatest thing about being pregnant! Oh how I would love to feel that again.
