Maternity Clothes

I officially can no longer at all (and it's been over a week) fit in my old jeans. Maybe with a couple of rubber bands it would work, but maternity jeans are just so much easier, so i've made the switch. I'm also finding my t-shirts less roomy, so time to dig out the shirts as well. Which is nice, I look more pregnant now than just fat ;) I obviously can't fill a whole belly panel yet but the ones with the band all the way around fit nicely :) I'm just a *little* to small to hold them perfectly, but I'm sure it won't be long (I predict next week). Besides I think I want to dawn these clothes while I can :)

I'm feeling it!

So other signs that I'm growing something in there:

I can no longer suck my tummy in.

When I lay down I still have the hump (think whale, lol).

I'm quickly loosing what little curve I had in my waist.

I have a constant bloated feeling since things are pushing on other things.

I think I have felt the kiddo move a few times, they are light still and not constant.

My tummy is definitely larger than before.

And the depth of my belly button is beginning to shrink :\ ( ;) )



SECOND TRIMESTER is just around the corner!!! YAY!

Government Has Just Gone Too Far

Okay seriously I would LOVE to know how many large name children's companies had a hand in this one! Thrift stores, Consignment Shops, Homemade Toy Makers and Homemade Baby Clothing Makers will no longer be able to see anything meant for a child under the age of 12 on February 10th of this year!

Seriously! Read it all here

Docs Appointment

So had a routine appointment this morning. Nothing really to report. We didn't even get a heartbeat since the baby wasn't in the greatest position to read it, but it's still beating. The hemorrhage is still there, but with no more discharge as of recent Doc thinks it's probably reabsorbing. Or at any rate they take awhile to correct themselves.

Asked about using my inhaler since my asthma seems to be kicking it in high gear recently. Between the cats and the dust around here, i've had a to use it a number of times. But we were given the green light on that one too :)

The only thing that came up wrong at the appointment is that they have me at 10 weeks and 4 days...which I don't know how thats possible. It's not based on an ultrasound measurement but on the wheelies they have that do the calculations for them. According to EVERY Internet thing I've check I'm 11 weeks 2 days. Doc said it's doesn't make that much of a difference so not to worry about it. Since everything I have is based on what I've already found I'm sticking to the 11 weeks 2 days. Due date is still July 29th from both cases (which is why I'm SO confused!)

11 Weeks Preggo!

Size : 2 inches
Weight: 1/3 ounce

All of your baby's vital organs are now formed and functioning, so the risk of defects decreases this week as your baby becomes less susceptible to outside influences.

Baby's ears are assuming their proper place this week and the fingernail and toenail beds are beginning to form. Your little "pumpkin head" really lives up to his nickname as his head is nearly as big as the rest of his body.

Your baby now weighs a third of an ounce, about the same as two small, Starbucks-sized packets of sugar, is about 2 inches long, the length of one of those sugar packets.


11 Weeks Pregnant

Sharp Pain

Last night I thought I had gotten a sharp pain in my right side, but since I can't ever seem to remember what's reality and what's a dream in the middle of the night I didn't think much of it. Then today I went to grab something and got it again in my right side, low by my uterus. I'm not worried about it since it very much is acting like a pulled muscle or ligament pain, since it doesn't hurt unless I move.

Even though it hurts is a good sign that the baby is growing :)

Tomorrow I'm 11 weeks :) almost done the first trimester! :) Yay!

Chips and Dip...NO THANK YOU!

So I've discovered something, me and chips with French Onion dip no longer get along. Tonight has been the closest I've come to puking and it's not because my tummy is upset but I can't stand all the burping and the nasty taste of the dip :\ I've tried EVERYTHING to mask it, nothing seems to be working, I wish it would just get out of my stomach. BLAH!
