11 Weeks (Yesterday)



Yesterday I moved on up to 11 weeks. I never thought I would love Monday, but I do! I haven't written in a few days but here's the major updates:

Mike and I scheduled our NT scan and blood work for Sept. 4th at 3:00pm. Our next OB appt. is on Sept 14th at 3:15 where I will be 14 weeks. I weighted myself on Saturday and I was 131.6 pounds. So I am up .4 lbs which is nothing. When I went to the doctors last weeks they said I was up 2.5 pounds but I think it must have been water weight. I am going by my weekly weight-in.

How far along: 11 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: As of Saturday up .4 pounds, not bad.

Sleep: I have noticed that if I wake up in the morning (either 4am when Mike gets up or 6am when I have to pee) if I don't eat something small I cannot go back to sleep.

Best moment this week: Enjoying my last few days of sleeping in before I am back to work tomorrow!

Movement: Nope

Food cravings: Nothing really, just hungry more often

Food aversions: Still not into grease/fast food. Which is a good thing!

Gender: Not sure

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? Innie

What I miss: Medium Rare steak!

What I am looking forward to: My NT scan next Friday.

Weekly Wisdom: Working out actually makes me feel better!

Milestones: I made it to 11 weeks!

How your baby's growing:
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
