11 weeks



How far along? 11 weeks and 4 days.

Baby's size? Sweet pea is the size of a fig. About 1.5 inch long.  However, at our 10 week appointment, baby measured 10 weeks 5 days… so we may be slightly ahead of the curve.

Weight Gain? This morning the scale showed 2 lbs.  Oy!

Maternity clothes? None yet.  :)

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep? I had one really rough night this week, but other than that I’ve just been getting up once a night to pee.

Best moment this week? Anytime I have a moment to myself where I can just put my hands on my stomach and pour my gratitude out to God for giving me this opportunity.

Movement? I can’t feel anything yet.  But I think about what we saw at our 10 week ultrasound every. single. day. and I imagine those perfect little arms and legs just dancing away.

Food cravings? I still haven’t had any genuine cravings.  But I have begun to feel hungry ALL THE TIME!  It’s driving me crazy.  I need to stock up on some healthy snacks so I can just graze all day long.

Symptoms? Insane hunger and occasional headaches (usually when I haven’t gotten enough sleep).

Gender? Still dying to know.  Hubby better hide my credit cards once we find out.  I’m pretty sure I will go on a baby clothes spending spree.

What I miss? Feeling thin and Starbucks white mochas.  (This still holds true from last time)

What I'm looking forward to? My appointment on February 5th.  Ultrasounds are my new favorite thing in the world.

Weekly Wisdom: This week’s lesson is called “Round Ligament Pain: You’re Not Dying”.  Every so often when I sneeze or go from sitting to standing too quickly, I will get these *shooting pains* in my stomach (sometimes to the point where I have to scream).  It only lasts for 2 or 3 seconds, but as you can imagine it was very concerning.  My quick google search assured me that this is normal.  You can read about it here if you’re curious.

Milestones: We’re completing the first trimester!  Praise the Lord!! 

Emotions: Happy, grateful, excited for what is to come!
