All of your vital organs are now formed and working, which is a huge relief. Your risk of defects is less now that that stage is complete. Yay! Your ears are finding their proper place and finger and toenails are beginning to form. You now weigh a whopping 1/3 of an ounce, which is about the size of two small packets of sugar and you are 2 inches long. It is SO cool watching how fast babies change in just a matter of a week. It is also a fun feeling to know that baby is moving more now...so excited to finally be able to feel it!
And here are some pregnancy stats. I'm thinking I will try to be more regular about this as a fun way of keeping track of some milestones!
How far along? 11 weeks
Maternity clothes? No, but I'm thinking they sound pretty comfortable already! Pretty excited to wear some of the pants I got while shopping this week!
Stretch marks? Nope!
Sleep: Hasn't been great pretty much the past 8 weeks. Fall asleep instantly now which is nice, but have a hard time staying asleep. Also rountinely go to the bathroom at 4:00 am. Can't get comfortable...ever.
Best moment this week: Shopping for maternity clothes
Miss anything? WINE. I knew I would miss it, but didn't know it would be this bad! You could probably add Diet Pepsi to the list...have only had 2 small ones since!
Movement: Much too early
Food cravings: Really just sweets, which isn't anything new from before. And wine...did I mention that already?
Anything making you queasy or sick: No, but I did have a dream about fish (like the smell of fish in a pond) that made me really sick
Gender: I think Boy
Labor Signs: N/A
Symptoms: Feeling awesome! Hardly more fatigued than normal, too! Pretty sure I can finally start to feel my uterus creeping up farther into my belly...that's kinda fun! It's been awhile since I've put on jeans, but I would imagine they would be a big more snug. And now looking back, I would imagine that all of the itching that I was having from about weeks 5-9, especially on my legs and back, was pregnancy related. It was pretty bad for several weeks, but it's been a couple since it has really bothered me. I have also had 2 headaches this past week that 1 Tylenol wouldn't fix that lasted for about 12 hours both times. Really, nothing I can complain about though!
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, and content
Looking forward to: Actually feeling pregnant, right now it feels like it's all sacrifices for nothing! Feeling baby move will be pretty cool, too.
