11 Week Picture

Here is the belly (still all bloat) at 11 weeks 4 days.


I'm also going to try and post my letters to the baby- if I can type them out without turning into a total wreck. We feel such a connection already and have so much to say (like, I am mentally preparing the chores for you to do since you made me throw up popcorn- which is pretty painful, just think about it).

My job will hopefully be more certain come this week when I have a serious "sit down" with the boss man. Please continue to pray for us. We love you!

Eleven Weeks and Counting

How far along? 11 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain/loss: up 7 pounds
Maternity clothes? I wore my first maternity shirt this weekend (thanks to my sisters in law for giving me their maternity clothes)
Stretch marks? no- I'm using stretch mark oil every day to prevent this
Sleep? Yes, please- You would think 10 hours a night is enough but I'm exhausted growing this baby
Best moment this week: Finding out that Bella is coming April 15th!
Movement: No, but I had some gas that could have been confused as movement
Food cravings: Still peanut butter, and now milk (really cold)
Gender: Since the heartbeat was 175 bpm, everyone is guessing girl
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? Still in
What I miss: a regular bra, I've been condemned to sports bras
What I am looking forward to: getting my teeth cleaned on Tuesday- I know I'm weird but I like the dentist
Weekly Wisdom: Trust God- He is in control.
Milestones: Wearing maternity clothes

11 Weeks - Here we come!

Here is what thebump.com has to say about baby this week.

Week 11: Lime

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.



I still can't beleive I am more than 25% done! October still can't come fast enough!
