Baby Update

How Far Along? 11 weeks 6 days (but I say I'm in my 12th week)

Symptoms: Nausea nausea nausea. I haven't thrown up but my stomach never feels settled. I hate that feeling. So far today, I have been okay. Praying that it stays that way.

Total Weight Gain: So I'm still holding at 163. I really need to go work out though. I haven't been to the gym in a while. We have just been so busy, but I am going to have to fit in time to make it happen.

Measurement: I am measuring 34.5 inches.
Maternity Clothes: I now have a few new maternity tops and I have some of my sisters old maternity clothes, but I haven't worn any yet. Mentally I'm not ready for that yet. lol

Stretch Marks: none yet. I'm using my new cream sporadically. I like how it smells but just haven't gotten in the habit of using it every day yet

Sleep: still very tired. It takes a minute to get comfortable, but once I am, I am dead to the world until i have to go to the bathroom or it's time to get up.

Food Cravings: Not really having any cravings. I do have an aversion though to beef and pork. Not really sure about seafood. Also I can't eat as much as I would normally eat during a meal. And It's weird to eat even when I'm not hungry cause I know I will start getting nauseous if I don't.

Best Moment This Week: Ending the first trimester! yay!

Movement: none yet. excitedly waiting on that

Labor Signs: none! prayerfully not for at least another 27 weeks

Belly Button In Or Out? In, but feels like its a little more shallow than normal.

What I Miss: having energy to do things. having a clean house. lol. Nothing has changed here. lol

What I Am Looking Forward To: feeling movement

Milestones: I guess it would be ending the first trimester :)

Weekly Wisdom: Get rest! Don't over-exert yourself. Even though it's early on in my pregnancy, I get tired alot faster and don't have as much energy, so I need to make sure I don't push myself too hard.

So I know you are wondering how I skipped a whole week, well my doctor says I am measuring 8 days earlier than what my LMP calculates. So hes saying my due date is January 26th. So that makes me about to enter week 13. I'm excited for the 2nd trimester. that makes me that much closer to having my baby, and also prayerfully the end of nausea and fatigue. Not to mention all the fun stuff happens in the 2nd trimester. You start showing, you start to feel movement, and you get to find out the gender of your baby. Every thing I've read online says that the 2nd trimester is the best trimester in pregnancy. So I'm excited to see what it will bring for me.

Baby is growing fine. I may have another ultrasound next week, depending on if I decide to get the NT scan. I'm considering it, depending on how much my insurance covers since its non-invasive with virtually no risk, but we will see. I need to make a decision by Monday since I have an appointment on Thursday.

Mommy and Daddy are good. We are still in the pre-qualifying stage of home buying. So Hopefully sometime next week I can find out how much we qualify for so we can go see whats in our price range. We probably won't move until close to the end of the year, even though I will be big and pregnant by that time because we have so much going on in these next few months.  

Here is my week 12 pic:

I guess maybe I am starting to show a little bit.
