From BabyCenter: 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.
How far along: 11 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Still down 4 1/2 lbs (gained 1/2 lb this week)
Maternity clothes: Not yet! One pair of work pants were tight after lunch, but a bella band will solve that problem next week I wear them again! I did buy 3 pair of pants this week, just to have when I need them! They were on sale and they had some long enough for me in the store - couldn't pass them up!
Stretch marks: Nope! Hoping I can keep the marks down to a minimum. :-)
Sleeping: Still really tired. I'm taking less naps during the week, which is nice, but going to bed between 9 and 9:30. Last night I didn't get to bed until 9:45 and today was NOT fun.
Best moment last week: Scoring a bunch of almost-new baby stuff from a friend at over 1/2 the price of brand new in the store! I'm picking it all up on Sunday, so be prepared for pictures!
Symptoms: Boobs are still sore, but not as often - more just when I get cold; nausea is getting better, but still there, especially when I'm hungry; still tired; constipation is starting to come, but still clears itself out within 24 hrs.
Food cravings: Mexican, cereal, and waffles with peanut butter
Gender: Way too early to tell, but I don't want to find out! David does, so we'll have to see what happens... The Chinese gender predictor says boy. I say boy because what girl would take away Mommy's sweet tooth?
What I am looking forward to: I'm starting to tell my students and parents, which is fun. We also have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday - I don't know if my OB does ultrasounds every visit or not, but I hope so! I want to see my little squishy again!!!!
