11 Weeks...

Now, I am 11 weeks along and here are some things (pregnancy-related) that happened this week.

• Cried for no apparent reason several times.


• Managed to catch an awful cold.


• Have had 3 fitful nights of sleep, since breathing is difficult.


• Watched my belly get fatter. Maybe I will post a belly picture. I always love looking at other peoples' belly pictures, but I feel self-conscious now that it's my belly. I just feel like it still just looks like I'm packing some extra pounds and not an extra person. Just telling you now: no bare belly pictures for me!


• Got a couple of pimples.


• Eaten like a horse.


• Baby is now 2 inches long (head to rump)


• is growing hair follicles


• is growing fingernail beds


• hands and feet are now in front of the body


• ears are in final location


• nasal passages have opened


• has a tongue and palate in its mouth


• has ovaries (obviously if it's a girl)

So, things have been busy! I haven't eaten as much ice cream as last week, but I have been enjoying saltine crackers with peanut butter. They sounded good, once my mother-in-law mentioned that she had eaten them when she was pregnant.

I haven't had any crazy cravings, but I like the taste of sweet things and cheese. Typically, I will choose savory over sweet, but not at the moment.

Life is good and I still can't believe this is happening!
