Weekly Wednesday Update 11/40













How far along? 11 weeks
Weight gain/loss: As of my weigh-in last week, I gained another lb so that brings our total weight gain to 8.2lbs...and thank you Babycenter for throwing it in my face that most women only gain 2-5lbs in the first trimester.
Sleep? I've found great comfort in Phenergan. I tried to fight it as it's a Class C drug but considering Squishy's organs are now completely formed & the neural tubes are closed, I had to give in. I'm still a little salty that Wallace keeps waking me up 5-15min before the alarm goes off, but I'll take what I can get.
Best moment this week? Our NT scan & getting to see Squishy again!
Movement: Unless you count gas, none.
Food cravings: I'm thankful that aside from my Red Velvet Cheesecake incident, I've been craving healthy foods this week (mostly apples, salads).
Belly button in or out? In, for awhile I hope. But at the rate this weight gain is going, I have my doubts.
What I miss? Not feeling like I'm going to puke all day and night, sleeping soundly for a full 8 hours, & not having the acne-ridden face of a teenager.
What I am looking forward to? The all day sickness going away, the end of the first trimester is so close I can feel it!
Milestones: Squishy's now almost fully formed. His/her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under the gums, and some of his/her bones are beginning to harden..
What I'm nervous about: Now that our NT scan is over, knowing we won't see Squishy for another 2 months is a little nerve-racking.
