11 Weeks

How far along:  11 weeks 

Total weight gain: 3 pounds total (half pound this week, but it may be water retention…see below food cravings). 

Food craving: Chinese/Japanese food (specifically anything with fried rice and a lot of soy sauce) and Papa John’s Pizza.  I know, healthy right. But I did have a fruit smoothie to make up for it and I still can’t eat a lot in one sitting.

Food aversions: These seem to be dying down some though I still can’t eat steak (not that I was a huge steak eater before). 

Maternity Clothes: nope

What I’m looking forward to:  Finally being able to tell everyone at work! We decided to wait until after our 12 week ultrasound on 11/14 and I’m tired of being in the closet.  Luckily I only have to hide my 400 trips to the bathroom and constant snacking one more week.

Milestones:  The baby is the size of a lime this week. The head is half the size of the body and the baby has hands that can close into fists (for calling the Dawgs, I assume).

Best moment this week:  GA beating FL and AR beating USC 

I’m very much ready for the first trimester to be over!  I’m awake okay at work, but once I get home I crash. I just can’t say awake past 8:30pm, but the bad part is that I am wide awake at 5:00am and can’t go back to sleep. My stomach has been bothering me after dinner and I get indigestion. Still nothing like some of the horror stories I heard before getting pregnant, but it’s annoying.
