[week eleven]


Ta-da! I have returned to the bump-picture world. Thanks to your lovely comments about just being happy with my body the way it is and relishing in each stage of my pregnancy I have been inspired to take bump-photos. So here I am... week 11. Sans bump, just pudge...but happy!

Symptoms with my fig-sized spud....
  • I am feeling less nauseated- yay!! Man, that was exhausting being sick 24-7.
  • I am still fatigued but looking forward to when I get that energy back.
  • Peeing all the time, even waking up to pee- that's unusual for me because I sleep o-so very hard.
  • And now I have some intermittent low back pain- sacrum pain. I hear it's the ligaments stretching. So if it enables me to push out a babe in 7 months- then great. Stretch on.
  • I stepped on the scale yesterday...I haven't gained a pound. Ha. I beg to differ. The weight must have re-distributed then...to my face, chest, and abdomen.
Goals-
  • Eat more protein. This one is hard for me- meat does not sound appetizing and I am normally not a huge fan of meat. Matt drew me a cute picture from spud-in-utero pleading with me- "mom"- to please eat more protein so he/she doesn't grow up to be a wuss. Ha! Breaks my heart. I need more protein.
  • Start up yoga at 2nd trimester (which is 3 weeks away!!) and continue with aqua fit weekly.
  • Focus on eating healthfully and at home now that I can adventure outside of my bland-carb diet.
  • No stress...I've been doing great with this one, perhaps it's all the sleeping and not worrying about getting pregnant.

  5. You look so cute! I am glad you decided to take and post pictures, you will be so thankful in the end. I am bummed I didn't get a picture of my belly from delivery, it was a quick decision and not really time for pictures. I am guessing girl if you have been feeling sick. Are you going to find out what you are having or are you going to keep it a surprise? Keep the bump pictures coming :)
