11 Weeks

How Far Along: I don't know how it's possible, but I'm already 11 weeks along!

Size of Baby: He/she is the size of a lime! I smiled when I passed the limes in the produce section this week. :)

Picture of Baby: None this week. My next ultrasound is scheduled for Monday, June 6th.

11 Weeks: Baby Johnson, about 2 inches long, is now almost fully formed. His/Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under his/her gums, and some of his/her bones are beginning to harden.  He/She is already busy kicking and stretching, and his/her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as his/her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. I won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that his/her diaphragm is forming. (Information from BabyCenter's website).

Maternity Clothes: Still need to get more. I know, I lied about getting some last weekend. I just didn't get around to it!

Weight Gain: Same as before.

Belly Pic: No belly pic this week. Not enough of a change to document.

Stretch Marks: None from this pregnancy...yet!

Sleep: I love it, but this past week my sleep was intermittent and not too enjoyable. I'd have to pee, then I wouldn't be able to fall back asleep. And, I consistently woke up at 4:00 a.m., and didn't fall back asleep until Aaron's alarm went off!

Best Moment of the Week: Hmmmm...there was no true pregnancy highlight this week. I believe I felt the baby move this morning because I felt a tickle / flutter right where the baby is that lasted 15 seconds or so. And, the only reason I would recognize this sensation is because I've been pregnant before. I remember Ella's first movements feeling similar. I realize it's really early, but hey...you never know! :)

Movement: Read above.

Symptoms: Energy is slowly coming back. I don't remember being this energy-less with my first pregnancy, but I think it's because I didn't have a 4-year old to keep up with then. The main symptom I'm still experiencing is nausea and throwing up. I can just think about tasting or smelling something and I will throw up. Aaron calls it, "Throw up on demand." He thinks it's so funny that he brought something to my mind last night, and I literally ran to the kitchen sing and threw up a bit. Also, one morning at work, I spent a good portion of the morning running back and forth from my office to the bathroom. Thank goodness I work in a small office with a bathroom nearby! :)

Food Cravings: Corn dogs. I don't know why.

Gender: Can't wait to find out! :) We have names picked out for both genders.

What I Miss: Coffee! While making my boss coffee in the morning, the smell totally reminds me of how much I miss my morning cup of coffee.

What I'm Looking Forward to: A day without throwing up once. Has yet to happen since I've been about 5 weeks pregnant.

Weekly Wisdom: Even when craving a food that you just gotta have, chances are you won't be able to finish it and you'll just throw it up. :)

Milestones: I'm just feeling really good about this pregnancy, and each day that passes brings me one day closer to meeting our child! I'm just so excited!

Emotions: Happy and tired, but mostly happy. :)
