11 Weeks: Lime!

My mornings: I've stopped sleeping. Sleep is for the weak.

My nights: Shut eyes. Wake up. Pee. Over and over and over ... You get the idea.

How far along: 11w, 5d

How big is baby: Baby is the size of a lime and a little less than 2 inches. My uterus is now the size of a grapefruit. Add that to the cantaloupe sized bloat belly and I basically am a walking fruit salad.

Weight: 

Starting weight: 125

Total weight gain: 5

This week: 130

How I’m changing: I'm starting to get a little bump that's noticeable to me. My bloat belly is noticeable in shirts and I am wearing maternity pants to work. The others are just too uncomfortable after 12 hours. 

What I miss: I miss sleeping. A lot. 

Symptoms: My symptoms have taken a leave of absence which scares me. I have had a few moments of heartburn and some cramps but nothing that's persistent. 

Cravings: Nothing in particular. Some days I really want a certain food but nothing makes me scream that I HAVE TO HAVE THIS NOW!!!

Food Aversions: Nothing yet but smelling leftovers or old food makes me gag.

Highlights this week: I update my registry some. I've looked into buying a Doppler for myself to hear the HB but I haven't been able to pull the trigger.

Maternity clothes: I can still fit into pants and wear them when I'm only going to have them on for a couple hours. I have to have stretchy pants for work now. The bloat is too painful at the end of the day to not have stretch pants.

Stretch marks: None.

Sleep: At the advice of some of my TTGP grads, I got some Tylenol PM. I've take it twice and it does help. It's basically Tylenol and Benadryl and it had helped me sleep a little longer. 

Movement: Nothing but gas.

Gender: HB is still predicting girl.

Labor signs: Nope. Way too soon.

Belly button: I will still be an innie for a while.

What I am looking forward to: My OB appointment will be Oct 15. I can't wait!!!

Milestones: Getting closer and closer to the end of first Tri. I can't wait to be done with it and hopefully not worry as much. I doubt that will happen but it's nice to dream about.
