11 weeks

written March 27, 2011....11 weeks, 3 days

Whoa, time is moving fast! Another week has come and gone and I'm starting feel more "normal." I've had it pretty easy so far but getting closer to the end of the first trimester, I can tell that I'm getting back to my old self physically. I've still had quite a bit of trouble with gagging and smells are still a strong trigger but just in the last few days things are improving. I seem to have a bit of my energy back as well but that may be because I've been sleeping better. I wake up more refreshed rather than exhausted like I have been. I'm still sleeping 9+ hours every night though so who can complain! :)



I've had a few people ask me if I'm craving anything and before this week, I've said no. I still don't think I'm craving anything that significant but after this weeks solo trip to the grocery store, Joe might disagree. I went with a small list of things for our planned dinners and lunches for the week and walked out with soup crackers, parmesan goldfish, toasted wheat thins, fritos and baked lays. I guess you could say I'm craving salty carbs.


I look extra big this week. I'm blaming it on camera zoom.



Baby is the size of a lime this week. My weekly email says that the babies head is the same size as the body. I don't know why but this image makes me laugh. The babe is supposedly doing flips and somersaults like crazy at this point. Suh-weet! The skin is still transparent so the blood vessels show right through. (EW!) The bones have been formed but are now starting to harden. All in all, nothing major happening this week....just growing and getting stronger.

Next up on the agenda is another doctor appointment in a few days. We will do more bloodwork and the genetic testing. I'm excited for another ultrasound too and I'm hopeful I will actually get to hear the heartbeat rather than just seeing it on screen.
