11 Weeks

How Far Along: Today I am 11 weeks along. Due date September 4th, 2013. 

Baby's Size/Other Info: Baby is the size of a lime! Around 11 weeks, you’ll probably notice some subtle changes, a dark, vertical line appearing down the center of your belly (known as the linea nigra). It’s probably tough to feel calm right now, since your hormones are still haywire and you may still be feeling pretty nauseated. But know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel -- just two more weeks left in trimester one! 

Baby at 11 weeks

• You can't see it, but she's moving fluidly and gracefully in there.
• Her skin is see-through, but she's on her way to looking more like a baby.
• Her fingers and toes aren't webbed anymore.
• Tooth buds, hair follicles and nail beds are forming.

Symptoms: Some nausea(the gaggy feeling), sleepy, sore back/neck, stress and depression(I haven't mentioned the depression much to anyone and I actually debated about mentioning it here. Basically because I didn't want people to judge me. I didn't want people to think that couldn't handle things or that I'm a horrible Mom/Wife/person and since I plan on talking to my doctor about it next week, I've been considering on trying some anti-depressants. Now, I certainly am NOT a fan of taking those drugs, especially while pregnant. But I can't keep doing this to my family and myself. I don't go anywhere, I don't play with the girls :(, I lay on the couch all day, down in the dumps feeling, just hard to smile and joke around. I really DO believe things have gotten better the past few days. I've been feeling good and have felt happier then I have in months!). 
I've also been able to eat really good at dinner the past few days, so that has been nice! I have been only able to have a few bites then be done eating, so its been a nice change! :) I've also been able to FINALLY take my prenatal vitamins without feeling yucky afterward, so that is a plus plus!  

Food Cravings: None really this week.

What I'm Excited About: 2nd trimester!!!!!! Couple more weeks! :) and doctor's appointment next week!

Something I've done to Prepare for Baby: Since I KNOW she's a girl, I bought a little sister onesie. :) 

Weight Gain: Pre-pregnancy weight: 120lbs  Today's weight: 117lbs Yay for not losing weight! :)

Gender Prediction: GIRL! 

Maternity Clothes: Not yet. 
NOTES: (You all may not care about this part..lol) Last week was a horrible week for me. I was (TMI) severely constipated on Wednesday. It got so bad that I actually called my doctor, which I VERY rarely do. Then of course the constipation turned into diarrhea for a few days after. I have never experienced that much pain in my life and I do not wish that upon anyone!
