11 Weeks (Catch-Up)

Written August 29-September 4

You guys. I can't believe I've held out on spilling the beans to you this long. Honestly, the only thing that's helping me hang in there is that I have told a couple of people and can blab about it all day long if necessary. At this point, we are so close to 12 weeks and our first ultrasound that I'm gonna make everyone wait a little longer. Why not at this point, you know?

Today I had my first doctors appointment, which was essentially just OB Registration...aka herded like cattle into a room with other moms and doing paperwork, then lab work, etc. The girl next to me was 22 weeks and didn't know she was pregnant for the first 3 months. A few more were very young first time moms. I felt old....but also super wise. ;) Baby number 2 is so laid back compared to doing everything the first time. I sort of love it.

How far along?: 11 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Ready for it?! Found out today I'm up 1.5 lbs. In clothes. So without? Maybe 0? At this point with Grace I was up 5, so I'm just a little thrilled. To celebrate I ate french fries.

Maternity clothes?: Nope.

Sleep: Up 3-4x per night.

Best moment of the week: First appointment! Nothing really to show for it except for two sparkly bandaids from the lab work, but I'm pumped to have two more appointments on the books for next week. OB physical on Wednesday and 1st ultrasound on Friday. Then I'll pimp this pregnancy all over the blog/internet. ;)

Movement: Nope.

Food Cravings: Caesar salad, cheese pizza. The thought of meat still makes me gag.

Gender: Still thinking Girl. Dying to hear the heartrate and guess based on that.

Belly Button: Innie.

Stretchmarks?: Nope.

What I miss: Having an appetite for healthy food.

What I am looking forward to: Seeing my little nug for the first time next week.

Weekly Wisdom: I got nothing.

Milestones: I read that this week my baby is the size of a lime. I was sort of shocked. I mean, that seems like it's getting to be a pretty substancial size in there! I'll be eating my words when it compares to a watermelon in 7 months.

Alright...told you I was showing early...brace yo' selves.

BAM!

Note the line where I have to pull my pants up to Urkel height.
