Today we are 11 weeks pregnant! I am so excited to almost be out of the first trimester. Not that it has been horrible, but I am excited for what is to come. I can't wait to get a bump. I am not showing---at all. I know this is normal for a first pregnancy, but it is so hard to talk about being pregnant without looking the part! I can't wait until I am showing enough that it is obvious that I'm pregnant, and not something people will wonder about :)
Weeks 9 and 10 were about the same as one another, and were overall uneventful. I took nausea medicine on a few different days, but I am certainly not feeling bad every day as I had been earlier on. I have some aches and pains (probably related to uterine stretching), but nothing I can't tolerate. Week 9 I seemed to crave all healthy foods...I was taking all fruits and vegetables to work with me for my lunch. When Week 10 rolled around, I just wanted junk! Donuts, ice cream, anything sugary was exactly what I wanted. For the last few days, I have felt more "back to normal" as far as diet and food cravings.
We worked on the baby's nursery this week. We painted trim and started to gather a few things, and we also got a GREAT deal on nursery furniture from another mom who decided to get a new set :) I also added to my diaper stockpile...my goal is to not need to buy any diapers until the baby is wearing size 4.
I drove 9 hours today to visit family, and boy was that uncomfortable. I felt like I had to shift positions a few times an hour, and I stopped to get out and stretch a few more times than I normally do when I make this drive. In one week we will have our next appointment, can't wait to see how our baby is doing!
