11 weeks!

How far along: 11 weeks 3 days

Baby Growth:  Baby is just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig and is now almost fully formed. Baby's hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under the gums, and some of the bones are beginning to harden. Baby is already busy kicking and stretching and I wish I could fee it!

My Symptoms: I've been feeling pretty good lately. Most of my symptoms have gone. I have more energy now,  but still get tired easily. If I don't eat or if I drink chocolate milk or eat something sweet sometimes i'll get nauseous. 

Gender:  I still am not sure. With Lakelyn I knew by now in my gut she was a girl, but I still feel like this is a boy, but i'm not certain like I was with her.  

Weight gain:  Maybe a pound or two. I really want to do good with weight gain this time and since i'm starting to feel better and will be heading into the second trimester soon, I want to at least get out and start walking more.

Maternity clothes: Here and there still. I mostly wear scrubs to work which most of those are not fitting or I wear like yoga pants or shorts and a t-shirt during the day. My t-shirts are getting tight on my belly though so I'm sure it wont be long until its all maternity stuff. However, I don't have many maternity shirts. I can never find cute stuff :/

Stretch marks: No new ones..

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Still sleeping great! Still having crazy dreams.

Best moment this week: A couple of good things. I have been looking for the baby's heartbeat on the Doppler on and off for a couple of weeks now and haven't been able to find it. I didn't really freak that much because I didn't think my Doppler was that great of one anyway, plus I just didn't have a bad feeling. Well I found the baby's heartbeat today!!! Turns out I have been looking in the wrong spot. This baby is literally on my left side down basically on my pubic bone. With Lakelyn I found her on my right side midway between hip bone and belly button (diagonally). It felt so good to hear it because like I mentioned i'm feeling really good lately so there isn't anything to really remind me i'm pregnant (other than the belly of course) but no movements anything like that.

Also, in other good news.. we booked a cruise for the end of August! Totally in the middle of hurricane season, but i'm still super excited.

Worst moment this week: I don't think we have had any bad moments this week really. The weather is ridiculously hot, we did have an inmate escape from the prison a few miles down the road from me (he has been caught).

Miss anything:  Not going to lie, I miss not looking fat. My belly is at that stage where its not fat, but it looks like its fat. :(
Movement: nope, but I thought I might have felt something today, but I think it was just gas.. hoping soon!

Cravings: No, not really. I have been wanting coffee, but not able to have it because it made me nauseous and I got some today and it was fine! I need to drink more water and lay off the drinks with sugar! I need to break out my oils and add them to my water for flavor!

Queasy or sick: queasy if I don't eat, but feeling fairly good. I did have a bad day yesterday I think it was where I felt nauseous, but I drank a whole cup of chocolate milk and then later could only find chocolate cereal to eat. That was probably what triggered it.

Questions/Concerns: none at the moment

Looking forward to:  Our ultrasound is on the 20th of this month so about 2 weeks away. I'll be 13 weeks and 2 days. I'm hoping they will peak between the legs at this one like they did with Lakelyn. I want to say I wasn't quite as far with lakelyn at this ultrasound so the tech claimed she was 50/50, but ya know.. Of course I am looking forward to finding out the gender and our cruise! I am also looking forward to cooler weather! It is just so hot some days you walk outside and just can't breathe! ugh.

Belly Pictures:  I know I said I was going to do something cuter, but I forgot. Lakelyn is napping right now so I might go do a chalkboard.. Let's be honest.. i'm probably going to take a nap. But I have to update with belly pictures before week 12!
