Baby, Baby: 11 Week Bumpdate

How Far Along? 

I am 11 weeks today!  

Gender/s?

Still don't know...

How Big are They? 

They should be about 2 inches long, and weigh about a third of an ounce :-)  Different sources compare them to small limes, figs, and brussels sprouts. 

Changing Momma

Have You Started to Show Yet?  

Yay!  I was showing a little bit last week, but I "popped" this week.  We went out on a date on Thursday, and I TOTALLY looked and felt like a pregnant woman!  

Weight Gain?

Finally increasing a little bit.  Not quite on track, but then... I'm still not eating a lot. 

Maternity Clothes? 

I'm thinking at this rate, I probably only have another two or three weeks in my sweats, and some of the non-maternity shirts I've been wearing...

Stretch Marks?  

No new ones :-)

Belly Button In or Out?

Still in. 

 

Momma's Feeling

Cravings:

Pork roast!!!  My MIL let us take leftovers home earlier in the week, and I've been eating it cold every day since.  Yumm!

Anything Making You Queasy or Sick?  

I've been less nauseated, but I've had almost constant heartburn and indigestion. 

Happy or Moody Most of the Time?   

Happy little momma!

Movement:

Not that I can feel...

Sleep:

Actually getting a little better! Once I find a position, I'm only getting up once or twice to use the restroom :-)

What I miss:

Hot baths and my heating pad! 

Other Symptoms: 

Aching back, constipation (sorry)... and...  let's just say I have more than one set of twins making their presence known! 

Highlights and Coming Soon

Best Moment of the Week?  

Had an AWESOME doctor's visit!  The doctor and nurse were amazed by how great my blood sugar control has been, and said not to change a thing I'm doing!!  The doctor also told us that he figures my odds of having a baby/babies with the sort of birth defects that are common in children of diabetics are about the same as a non-diabetic's odds!  Yippee!!  The crazy hard work was worth it to hear those words :-) Second place: finding both heartbeats separately on our doppler! They were on complete opposite sides of my body, one tucked almost behind each hipbone.  <3

Looking Forward To? 

My first trimester screen got moved to week 13.... I'm bummed we have to wait a little longer, BUT it's not unheard of to be able to find out genders at that point!
