12 weeks

Size of baby:
A plum

Total Weight Gain:
Down 5lbs

Stretch Marks: 
None

Maternity Clothes:
nope, other than feeling bloated I don't feel like I've started to show much of anything yet, Doctor said I should start showing anytime now though.  I have been browsing e-bay and the second hand stores cause if you know my cheap ass, I'm not spending a ton on a new maternity wardrobe!  

Gender:
Dunno

Movement:
nothing I've felt yet

Sleep:
yes please

Having some motivation.

Food Cravings:

Food Aversions: 
smells are getting to me big time this week, if the food stinks I completely lose my appetite.

Symptoms:
Still nauseous but fortunately I've had more feeling good moments this week than not, still lazy, tired, food aversions

Best Moment This Week:
finished telling all the required people at work of my pregnancy (yes it's on FB and I am friends with work people but word only travels so fast I guess)

What I’m looking forward to:  
next doctors appointment on the 23rd

 Addison:
nothing new on the Addison front this week, She will probably go with me to my Dr. appointment next week so hopefully she will get to hear the heartbeat when they do the doppler to get her a little excited.

Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 11

a little late but I just haven't forced myself to sit at the computer all weekend and I missed Wednesday!



How Far Along:  
11 weeks

Size of baby:
A Lime

Total Weight Gain:
Still down 3.5lbs, not sure how that's possible seeing how if I'm sitting at work not busy I am constantly chomping on something to keep the nausea away.

Stretch Marks: 
None

Maternity Clothes:
nope  

Gender:
Dunno

Movement:
None.

Sleep:
no problems here still, I just want more of it

What I miss:  
feeling normal, come one 2nd tri!

Food Cravings:   
still really loving the fresh fruits and veggies, otherwise salty stuff or sweet stuff.  Not a huge meat fan, which with Addison it was chicken that I couldn't even force myself to eat.  

Food Aversions: 
still a ton of stuff, most recently bacon (sad, sad day)

Symptoms:
Still nauseous, still lazy, food aversions, easily annoyed.

Best Moment This Week:
Surviving a full work week...ugh.  I don't know what my deal is lately I just don't wanna do the whole work thing.

What I’m looking forward to:  
second trimester!

 Addison:
still wishy-washy on if I'll be having a baby brother or baby sister for her, one minute she says girl the next she says boy.
