I have seen several different books and cute crafty things where moms do a week by week of their pregnancy. Now normally this involves pictures and cute pages put together in a book. I am not that dedicated but I saw a cute blog today where she just posted it and then saved them all in order and I thought that is simple enough. So I am going to test it out and see how much I actually keep up on it ha ha.
WEEK 1-4: Prayed and hoped for you but didn't know you existed.
WEEK 5: Took a pregnancy test. It came back negative, I was very disappointed and confused.
WEEK 6: Was convinced you were here, took another pregnancy test came back negative again.
WEEK 7: Pregnancy test finally came back positive. Due date late Aug.
WEEK 8: Getting my hopes up that the nausea would be really mild this time around. I was wrong, nausea started full force this week.
WEEK 9: Nausea gets really bad the doctors put me on Zofran. BLAH.
WEEK 10: Had my first doctors appointment. The doctors tried to find your heart beat and couldn't so he pulled out an old ultra sound machine and said you were measuring small. Everything else looked good.
WEEK 11: Had another ultra sound on a new machine, heard your heart beat and your were measuring small. He said I was two and a half weeks behind. I am really only 8 weeks. BOO. This explains why my pregnancy tests came back negative. I took them too early, but I heard your heart beat and you were healthy. We got our first picture of you and the nurse kept calling you a gummy bear, dad thought that was funny! Due date Sept. 10th.
WEEK 9 and 10:(because I got pushed back): More nausea. Your big sister knows something is up and constantly lays her head on my belly, I think she likes to hear you swim in there.
WEEK 11: We had a scare and thought you were coming early.
WEEK 12: The doctor tells me I have a prolapsed cervix but that you are healthy and doing great, which was a big relief! I am put on a 'gravity is not your friend and take it easy regiment' but we were pretty much doing that already anyway. Thought the nausea was going away, Mom Was WRONG!
WEEK 13: Had my second official doctors appointment, heard your heart beat again. It was nice and strong this time. You are growing the way you should be and momma is hanging in there. We spend the week at grandma Robertson's and she takes good care of us!
WEEK 14-15: Mom has her first emotional break down. Don't worry these happened a lot with big sister, only having one so far is a accomplishment.(Don't let mom watch 'A baby story' while emotional!). Dad came home a surprised mom with an hour massage gift package! That cheered mom up quick! Mom is still sick, hoping to get better quick so I can get my massage!
Cravings/Things I can actually eat thus far: Root Beer, cinnamon toast, ritz crackers, apples, water(lots), otter pops, grapefruit, and frozen bean and cheese burritos.
WEEK 16: Found out you were a boy! We are so excited to add a little boy to our family! Daddy and mom decided your name will Joel Zike Robertson. Mom also felt you moving around this week and you started kicking too. Your big sister loves to say your name, it sounds more like YOL when she says it.
WEEK 17: Mom is still sick but Loving all the movement she is feeling from you! You kick her a lot when she lays on her back. Mom is worried because she is contracting and has had a lot of pain this week.
WEEK 18: Finally half way through this week mom started to feel better! YAY! We got our first boy items for you this week! So many cute things to make and buy. Had another doctors appointment this week, the doctor said preterm labor doesn't usually coincide with a prolapsed cervix. That was a big relief to mom! He also told me pain was going to happen because you are so low, I will have a lot of pressure and stretching a pains. He told me to take it easy. I try but I am not very good at that. Both of your grandmas get mad at me for that ha ha.
WEEK 19: Dad felt you for the first time this week! He loves rubbing my belly now that he can feel you! You tend to be stubborn and stop kicking when he touches my belly. If he is patient he can usually feel you. You got another cousin this week! Baby Addie was born and you two will only be 4 months apart growing up!
Cravings/Things I can actually eat thus far: Root beer, Cinnamon Toast, Authentic Mexican food (no taco bell or junk like that and no more frozen burritos), Ice water!, Curly Fries, Milk and Oreos.
NOTE: just because I crave these doesn't mean I eat them everyday!
I am 20 weeks today! Lets see what happens the next few weeks! Half way there!

This is a really great idea!
Thanks!
That is a great idea! Too bad I didn't think of it almost 9 years ago, ha ha. Glad you are doing okay. What a crazy pregnancy so far! I hope all turns out well. I had to have a hystarectomy with Elden. I hope your situation doesn't come to that. But it's nice knowing that whatever happens the Lord has a wonderful plan!
That's very true! Thanks Ruth!
Oh, and Elden was 28 weeks when he was born. 28 weeks was the 1st benchmark they wanted me to get to and we made it. He weighed 2 pounds 9 ounces. I hope this week goes well for you!
