Today I am 11 weeks pregnant, which officially means it's been FOREVER since I blogged about this. The most important news is that I went to my first ultrasound at 8 and a half weeks and there was a perfect little bean in there! Heart rate was 165 and they were measuring one day ahead of schedule. It was SUCH A RELIEF. I'm so so so happy.
Right around 9 weeks I started getting really nauseous and threw up sometimes in the mornings. Brushing my teeth has been SO hard, it always makes me gag. I didn't want to eat anything for like two weeks, and I was weak all the time and super grouchy. It was a rough two weeks. And then Monday morning I woke up and felt totally fine???? And I haven't really been nauseous since then. I've been back to eating a ton of food and craving sweets and pickles. I'm still exhausted all the time, but that's letting up some as well. I still go to bed around 10 every night, with Milo, and then wake up around 7, but for the most part I don't fall asleep at work, so I consider that a win!
I definitely have a little bump now! For awhile I mostly just looked really fat, but now there's a definite distinction between my belly fat and my actual baby bump. haha And it's definitely more round than my regular belly fat. So I'm all about it!
I've been nervous lately about the health of the baby, only because my nausea disappeared SO fast after it was so bad. But I'm just going to trust my body and hope for the best, because that's all I can do.
Overall time has been moving pretty fast! I can't believe the first trimester is almost over! We find out the gender in early October sometime. I'm really leaning girl on this one. Which, I know I did that with Milo too- but now I have something to compare it to. And this pregnancy has been super different from Milo's. I haven't been as sick overall, and when I was sick it was earlier on in the pregnancy. With Milo I was sick right around 10-12 weeks, which is when I stopped being sick this time. Also this baby's heart rate is higher AND my cravings have been way different. With Milo all I wanted was mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. With this one all I want is ice cream and gummy bears and cake... and sometimes pickles. :) Obviously we have no idea, and I will truly be happy with either, but just based on how different everything has been, I'm super Team Girl. We'll see soon though!!!!
It's interesting, I don't really think Milo gets what's going on... but he must be sensing some sort of change or something. Or maybe he understands what I tell him about the baby more than I realize. But regardless, he's always saying "I baby. Mi-yo a baby" and really just... wanting to be a baby. haha So I think he knows change is coming and he's trying to be my baby as long as he can. Which I'm totally fine with. :) I think he'll actually be pretty excited once the baby comes. I'm sure it will be some adjusting and he'll have some issues initially- but I think it's going to be a fairly smooth transition for him. He's so easy-going and he looooves other kids and babies. We'll see though. haha
SO that's basically it. I think. Baby is a brussel sprout today. Or maybe a lime. I have two apps and they are a little conflicting. But baby somewhere in between those two, and hopefully they're a cute little healthy fetus with a perfect heartbeat. My next appointment is Sept 14, where I'll get to finally hear their heartbeat with the doppler. It's gonna be a good time. :)
