11 weeks and counting...

Pregnancy Highlights: (GB stands for Gummy Bear)

How Far Along: 11 weeks


Fruit: Fig





Size: 1 and 1/2 inches long


Baby changes: Our baby is now almost fully formed!
* hands will soon open and close into fists
* tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under its gums
* some of its bones are beginning to harden
GB is already busy kicking and stretching, and its tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet


Total Weight Gain/Loss: no gain / loss since last week


Best Moment this week: Umm…the weekend and getting to sleep (sorry I’m reaching here). Johnny and I did have a realtor open house on Wednesday and that was very successful. We got lots of great comments on our home and hopefully that will bring a buyer soon!


Gender: We are due to find out in late July / early August, but we’ve chosen to be SURPRISED!


Movement: not yet, though I have felt stitches / cramps in my abdomen occasionally this week.


Food Craving: frozen purple grapes (skin peeled), cereal


What I miss: exercising – I know I didn’t do lots before, but I hope to pick it back up.


Sleep: sleeping well, but I can’t seem to get enough this week.


What I am looking forward to: listening to GB’s heartbeat and NO MORE SICKNESS!


Symptoms: Sad to report I’m still getting sick, but mostly just feeling exhausted this week. My doctor told me to try Benadryl at night to suppress my cough. That isn’t cutting it during the day, so she then suggested Delsym. We’ll see if that helps!
