11 Weeks

I can hardly believe it! I know I say that all the time, but this still doesn't feel real to me. I've made it to 11 weeks!! A few updates: I still feel sick to my stomach quite a bit (almost constantly). I'm actually getting used to it...there are only a few times when it really bothers me. I have to admit, those times I think of how nice it will be to not feel sick all the time. Much of the time I'm grateful to have a permanent symptom to remind me that I'm pregnant and all is well, but there are times I feel tired of that same symptom!

I'm definitely starting to get a belly (I'm going to post a picture below). Bending is getting harder and harder. It feels all squished in there. I was bending over to shave my legs earlier and was very uncomfortable. Imagine what it will be like when I'm even bigger! I don't know if I'll be able to do it. lol I may just have to go most of my pregnancy with hairy gorilla legs. Poor Matt! My stomach has been much firmer the past couple of weeks, which is how I know this isn't bloat, it's my uterus pushing all of my intestines out and up. And I imagine some of it is just my uterus starting to poke out! I think that it pushes past the pelvis around 12 weeks? So I'm getting close to a baby bump. :-)

My belly band is still working pretty well although I try to spend as little time as possible in jeans because it's still not as comfortable as it used to be. I suppose I should start looking at maternity clothes soon. I don't want to wake up one day and not be able to wear anything and have to go buy a bunch all at once. I feel very lost when it comes to buying maternity stuff.

Matt is out of town again and will be until Friday evening. I'll spend tomorrow night with my mom and sister, but tonight I went out and got Chinese and ate it while watching TV. I'm about to go watch a movie and enjoy the night by myself.

So here's my 10W6D picture (which is horrible, I look like I have a mullet, ugg! I'm trying to grow out my hair, btw). You can kind of see a little bump...sort of. I can tell! I suck in during my pictures. I figure when it's a real bump it will pop out even when I'm trying to suck it in. lol
