I'm "stealing" the wonderful idea of updates about certain things from Hannah Harshman over on her blog Dash Of Sparkle. I will answer most questions people ask as well. So let's get started:
How far along? 11.5 weeks
Weight gain? 5 pounds last time I weighed myself
Maternity Clothes? Not yet, but I'm using the rubber band trick
Size of baby? a little over 1.5 inches about the size of fig
Boy or Girl? We won't know for quite a while (20 weeks). Stephen and I will be happy with either. Our 3 year-old niece thinks it will be either a girl or a unicorn. :)
Movement? I don't feel any yet, but the ultrasound tech said Baby is dancing around a lot.
Sleep? I often have dreams or nightmares that wake me up in the middle of the night at least 1, but usually 2-3 times a night. There have been a few nights where that glass of water late at night has woken me up and sent me to the bathroom, but overall besides the dreams, I sleep well.
Food Cravings? I want to eat everything that I liked before and crave just like I used to. Nothing new here. Thankfully I still want food!
What I miss? Medium Rare Steak! Boy did it smell good at the restaurant on V-day, but the chicken was great too.
Symptoms? Praise the Lord I have felt great! No nausea for me. I have been more tired, I feel exhausted the second I start my workout, but plush through it. I get random lower back (right where love handles are)pains that don't last long at all.
Looking forward to? Getting a baby bump! I know that sounds funny, but I just can't wait 'til I can feel Baby moving around.
If you have any questions feel free to ask or if I missed something that is fun to keep track of just let me know. :)
We are all very excited for both of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for the unicorn!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark! Eric, I'd rather not have a unicorn. That would be highly uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun! Enjoy every second :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Rachel!!! I am so thrilled for both of you!!
