Week 11

So much to report! I will give you a summary and from now on, I plan on updating this regularly.

How far along- 11 weeks 6 days!

Heartbeat? YUP! My dad sent us an old doppler that we use. I started hearing the heartbeat about 2 weeks ago. That (because you usually start hearing it 10.5 week+), my second ultrasound, and the dates, all lead me to believe I am further along by about 5 days, but my OB for now doesn't want to change the dates (which is totally ok, I would rather the baby cook for longer, I am not bringing it up with her agin, but it still drives my "OCD" self a little crazy).

Symptoms- Ok, so here we go. That's the main reason why I haven't been posting a ton. I haven't felt good. I have had some extreme nausea. Throwing up as well. I have had some silent reflux at night, which causes my nausea to be the worst at night. The all day everyday nausea has subsided, and I am currently just getting it BAD at night. I have days of being exhausted and then the next day am ok. So I think my energy may be coming back. I have to drink a lot of gatorade and water or my back gets a little sore. I have been doing yoga which helps as well. I am having some post nasal drip and on and off dry coughs. I got pretty sick at the beginning of December and had to go on some atibiotics. I went on some more because my asthma was still acting up (which I think is another symptom of pregnancy). That's better, but every now and again I still cough. I am going back to my dr next week  but I am almost positive it's because my extra post nasal drip at this point. I have gotten lightheaded two times, so not to bad at all! Sleep is not amazing, but that started pretty much the day I found out I was pregnant. That's about all I can think of at this time.

Cravings- well at first, I didn't want anything and it was hard because I didn't know what I wanted until the last minute when something might sound good. So a lot of times someone had to mention it and then I would want it. I was nauseas so pretty much everything was out of the question. But that seems to be subsiding. I only wanted sour for a while, but now, sweet sound better. I am always telling Ned that if I didn't have my gluten and dairy intolerances I would have gained so much weight by now! I am eating lots of fruit! I am craving Asian food and Mexican. That's been a constant this whole pregnancy so far.

Weight gain- No. I lost some weight, then gained it back. I am about even.

Life in general has been good. The cough and asthma issues have been quite annoying, but it's getting better. We did a lot over the holidays (went to the Grand Cayman, Went to FL, my mom came here to visit). It was hard because I wasn't feeling well, but I did fine. I have been taking belly pictures, so I will post those in a little bit:) Our 12-13 week test is next Thursday so I am very excited! Our good friends told us that we may get a guess in on the sex of the baby. Of course it's not that accurate, but still fun!

We have built up quite an accumulation of baby things and I will make sure to post pictures.

I have been working on sewing again, and I may be a little obsessed. It's kind of rediculous. I mean how many burp cloths does one really need?

I hope you have a wonderful day!
