11 Weeks


***Please excuse the glare on the board! This was my favorite photo after a long and tiring weekend and I was too lazy to re-take the pic to make the board look better!***)

How far along: 11 weeks 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: .5 lbs last week so 1.5 lbs total so far

Maternity clothes? None officially. Have been sporting lots o' t-shirt dresses since the weather has been so nice and warm.

Sleep: Getting comfortable is becoming a little more difficult. My hips are usually sore by the end of the day so finding a comfy sleep position is difficult. I bought a maternity pillow from Babys R Us which has helped a lot. (Thanks Les for that great tip!!)

Best moment this week: Around last Tuesday, a baby bump popped out all of a sudden. People at work noticed too. That was really fun and made it feel more real :)

Hubby's best moment of the week: Getting to hang out with our friends we haven't seen in a while and getting to talk to them about Baby J.

Movement: Have felt a flutter once or twice, but I know all the books and Dr. Google say it is gas. It makes me happy to think it is the lil one moving around in there though :)
Food cravings: Nothing really this week.

Anything making you queasy or sick? As much as I hate to admit it, I couldn't eat the crawfish this weekend. They sounded gross to me. WHAT?! So sad...

Gender: Too soon to tell but have really been thinking the lil fig is a boy lately...
Symptoms: Really none this week. Had a really good week.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy and feeling more and more like myself...must be because I'm nearing the end of the dreaded 1st trimester...

Looking forward to: Seeing my family this weekend and getting to "meet" baby Braxton. Hoping he gives his Aunt Lili a kick or two!

I also decided I would get Hubby to take some pictures of me and the lil bump near the end of each trimester. He did a GREAT job at our "side of the road, impromptu photo shoot" on Sunday on our way home from Austin! Stay tuned for those pictures very soon!

Glare? I don't see a glare! Too bad about the crawfish - that's a pretty bad thing to suddenly start disliking.

Whoo Hoo . . . a 'baby bump'!!! Lil Fig, Lil Red Bean, Baby J - let's see what other names we can come up with?!?! Lil Roach - just an inspiration from above :)

Yes seriously! It was really sad :( I ate all the extras just couldn't eat the crawfish. That better go away or this lil one will be in big trouble!! :)

Janie- I can't even imagine the nicknames this lil one would have if nanny and boo were still here but I think roach jr would be a top runner! :)
