11 weeks

I know, I know....this pregnancy has turned me into a slacker blogger. If it makes you feel any better, it's not only blogging that isn't getting done lately, it's everything in my life. I am usually a very high energy person that likes to be constantly busy and doing something.....haha oh how THAT has changed! There have been more and more days lately that I have had more energy and some days I even feel almost normal again, but it's still the exception rather that the rule. 

I am 11 weeks and 3 days prego today! Which means I am less than a week away from my 2nd trimester!  Our little bean is measuring a little over 2 inches.  Our first appointment with my new OB was on 6-28-11 and we got to have our 2nd ultrasound! It was crazy how much had changed in just 3 weeks. Our be-be was complete with little legs that were kicking and waving arms. We could make out little features like eyes and mouth on the face and got to see the heartbeat. The doctor announced that everything looked perfect....our little overachiever!

My belly popped last week.....I still feel like I look like I just ate too much but I went from looking like I ate a little too much to looking like I cleared out a buffet restaurant. My husband says I look cute and I don't look fat, just pregnant, but I also know that he is secretly afraid of what might happen if he says the wrong thing. My friend Meghan saw me last Wednesday and then I went to her house a few days later early Saturday morning and her jaw literally dropped when she opened the front door.....ha ha which prompted instant tears for me. I'm going to be sooooo HUGE!! Yes I do have pictures and no I have not decided if I am okay posting them since I haven't found that perfect pose that doesn't make me look like a cow. I promise I'll post one very soon. ...............And yes, I realize I never posted my ultrasound pictures and that I am not only a slacker but a liar and I promise to redeem my blogging status this weekend.

We are in the process of picking out all our big ticket baby items so we can start to slowly accumulate. I am finding that I have expensive taste in baby items and since my husband seems to share my expensive baby taste it keeps the guilt at bay for what I add to our wish list on a daily basis but is costing us a pretty penny for "necessities".  I'm getting more and more anxious to know the sex of the baby everyday. I just want to go out and but a adorable baby outfit and as far as gender neutral stuff is concerned....it is very hard to find anything that is adorable.  Only 7 more weeks until we find out!
