Week 11: Happy Thanksgiving!

*Note: I'm currently 16 weeks, but going back and updating now that our little secret is out!

I saw my OB for the first time this week and heard baby's heartbeat on the doppler :) We also celebrated Thanksgiving at the very end of the week! We had yummy food and Dan even went out shopping late at night. I went to bed early! Friday late morning I finally crawled out of bed and went to Babies R Us to grab their buy one get one bottle deal. It was a very relaxing black Friday, no traffic, no lines, no crowds and everything was in stock! Guess everyone was over at Best Buy grabbing TVs :)

How far along: 11 weeks 

Maternity clothes: I've picked up quite a few but haven't started wearing them yet. 

Sleep: Sleeping well, and a lot!

Best moment this week: Getting to see Dr. Handle for the first time and feeling like a "normal" pregnant lady ;)

Miss anything? Holiday drinks and wine :(

Movement: nope

Cravings: none. I feel sick all the time. Peanut butter toast is one of the things I can consistently eat without getting sick.I definitely can NOT eat Chick Fil A anymore, it makes me so, so sick!

Sick or queasy? usually queasy and nauseated around 9-10 am and in the evenings.

Looking forward to: Finding out if Baby is a boy or a girl next week! 

No Black Friday Traffic :)

We made it to the double digits! I got to see baby again this week, and he/she was wiggling around! I got the official ok to "graduate" to my regular OB! I've had to add in a fourth meal consistantly now around 3pm. I affectionately call it linner, and it keeps me from getting sick in the afternoon :)

Pictures were really faint this ultrasound for some reason. Baby wasn't faint on the screen, but the pictures printed out that way. 

Week 9

*Note: I'm currently 16 weeks, but going back and updating now that our little secret is out!

We traveled to New Jersey this weekend for Greg and Mary Kate's wedding. Baby's first airplane ride and wedding :) The plane ride was NO FUN for me, but I made it puke-free both ways! My morning sickness had gotten a lot worse last week so my dr. prescribed medicine for me, and I'm wearing sea bands 24/7 too. We got to see lots of friends and family in NJ and take our Christmas card picture too!
