Week 11

Week 11

I will try and do these posts once a week, preferably on the same day. For now I will jump right in and do week 11. 

How far along? 11 weeks and 2 days

Total weight gain: I currently don't own a scale, so this is a hard question. I am thinking about getting a scale this weekend and then I can check weekly. As of Sunday there was no weight gain from the weight I was a few months ago. 


Showing? I have had some major bloat bump for the last couple weeks. It hasn't gotten any bigger, but practically everyday I can feel it getting harder.  I feel like any day now it will be all baby and no bloat. 

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity pants from goodwill and a couple shirts from goodwill. I just bought a couple normal shirts, in a style with some room to grow. My goal is to by normal clothes in flowy styles as long as possible, because then I can at least wear them afterward. 


Baby Items bought? I still have only bought the little pair of shoes and the one onsie I bought the week we found out. This week, however, my grandma went shopping with me and bought me some baby stuff! Two onsies and a pant set, as well as a super soft baby blanket. 

Stretch marks? none yet, but it would be pretty scary if I did already. I am currently trying to find some coconut oil to see if I can prevent any. 

Sleep: This last week it has kinda gone to crap. I am tired pretty much from the minute I wake up until I hit the sack about 2 hours earlier than I used to. I feel like I could sleep forever, but I wake up about 20 times between 3:00 and whenever I get up, sometime between 7:00-8:00. Sometimes I pee and then I feel better, but sometimes it doesn't really matter and I still fall asleep and wake up and fall asleep and wake up. I also have the most intense and vivid dreams and I think that those wake me up sometimes. uggghhhh... it is so frustrating. 

Best moment this week:  I think that making everything public was one of the best parts of this whole pregnancy. It is super fun having everyone know about how crazy our lives are going to be. 

Miss Anything? hmmm... I could really go for a Saturday night glass of wine. (but I will live) I mostly just miss being able to sleep solidly through the night and not feeling like the walking dead all day. 

Movement: haven't felt anything yet, although during our ultrasound we definitely saw the little guy moving around like crazy. 

Food cravings: Taco Bell and anything else sweet like doughnuts and ice cream. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: the thought of most meat, although tonight I had 2 venison hot dogs and they were the best thing ever. I also try and brush my teeth as fast as I can, because I get pretty gaggy after a minute. 

Gender: don't know for another couple months, but we are so excited to find out!

Labor Signs: I hope I don't have any of these for another 6 months or so.  

Symptoms: thankfully the nausea has just been getting better and better and better. now it is usually only the VERY first thing in the morning and still every once and awhile right before I go to bed. I am experiencing some heartburn, some round ligament pain and a lot of fatigue. 

Belly Button in or out? very much in

Wedding rings on or off? totally on

Happy or Moody most of the time:  hmmm, about 50/50. Being tired all the time has been making me pretty grumpy because I can never get everything done and I am afraid it is hurting my schoolwork and the rest of my life. 

Looking forward to: the end of the 1st trimester!
