11 Weeks!!

Four weeks is an eternity in between doctors appointments in the first trimester...or maybe any "mester" for that matter. I was so excited for our doctors appointment Monday afternoon, only to have it canceled because my OB had a family emergency. After sulking  and whining to Nick for a few minutes the guilt set in as I realized I am being very selfish and feel terrible that the doctor I adore is going through a tough time. Reminder....doctors have lives too!
I quickly persuaded the sweet receptionist to fit me into any time slot the next day with any doctor available.
Today we went for our appointment and got to meet another doctor in the practice. Probably not a terrible situation since depending on when Baby Groves decides to come he could be the doctor delivering. I did learn that if baby picks a Tuesday, I will for sure get my regular doc for delivery :)
Everything looked great! Strong heartbeat of 160bpm, good blood pressure, and weight gain of 1 pound (with heels on).  Doctors instructions were to "keep doing what you are doing, baby is great". YAY!!!

How far along? 11 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain: 1 pound

Maternity clothes? nope-but noticing normal clothes are getting snug

Stretch marks? No

Sleep:  Sleeping well most nights...excited to start using the giant boppy maternity pillow that Kelli bought me. I think I will name it :)

Best moment this week:  Hearing the heartbeat again today!

Miss Anything?  Caffeine!!

Movement:  strange bubbles....possibly gas! ha! 

Food cravings:  Nothing special this week. I am on a yogurt kick!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  McDonald's Fish Fillet didn't stick with me long yesterday...gross, sorry!

Gender:  Any guesses?

Labor Signs:  We aren't even close. :) 

Symptoms:  Exhausted, slight nausea...but it is much better.

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Finding out the sex at the end of the month!
