Total weight gain?: About 3 pounds (although it looks like 15)
Wearing Maternity clothes?: Not yet but on the weekend I am going shopping for mat jeans. I can't take this anymore. All my pants fit too tight from the bloat and it hurts. I can't wear yoga pants to work, nor can I wear them in the winter so it's time.
Any movement?: Not yet

Guess on the sex of the baby?:  I think it's a Girl.

Best moment of the week?: Telling DH's one sister & BIL. They're so excited! We're telling his other sister tonight.
What do you miss the most?:  CHEESE & WINE! lol
What are you most looking forward to?:  Our first ultrasound on November 17th. Praying everything is okay and we see a heartbeat. I don't have many symptoms so I worry myself that something is wrong. I just can't wait for that reassurance (at least for that day anyway) that everything is fine and there really is a baby in here.
Any milestones this week?: Got my 2nd round of HCG numbers back. They were drawn at 21 DPO (Friday) and they were 5,550!! My first one was drawn at 10 DPO and was 38. Makes my doubling time approximately 36 hours. BIG RELIEF! I celebrated by eating 4 slices of pizza and then waking up in pain from the cheese at 2am. lol Damn you dairy!
