11 weeks

Since I turn a new week on Sundays I think I'm going to make this day a pregnancy and baby update from now on. :-) I haven't talked about it much because really, there's not much to talk about, but I WANT to! So, from now on, Sundays are dedicated to the alien growing in my uterus. Niiiice ;-).

Today I am 11 weeks! It's hard to believe that I'm nearly done with my third month, as the books would say. In my head I'm about to be three months but in the book it says I'm IN my third month. AHHH, it's so confusing. Haha. It's also hard to believe that I'm a quarter of the way through my pregnancy. I mean, I still have three quarters to go, but having one over with is nice. LOL.

I'm not nearly as gross feeling as I have been. I think I'm finally clearing that stage. I never got morning sickness, not even with AK, but I've definitely had my fair share of nauseating moments. I still do have some food aversions and such, like eggs. I want them but they smell gross and then when I force myself to eat them they taste gross. What's up with that! And cool ranch doritos, my old fave, are no longer faves anymore. :-( I guess the baby doesn't like them all that much. But it does like any and all bread products, chicken, pineapple and mexican food. I can go for all those things but it makes meal making quite unbearable at times. I HAVE to mix it up for my family so a lot of times I make something for Sean and then end up eating something completely different. Oh well.

My mood has been good lately. In the beginning I was quite irritable, not beyond normal though I guess, just more frequent. And when I'm hot, you better watch out. I think that's what trigures it all. The next pregnancy, we HAVE to be out of Texas! I started taking vitamin B12 a few months before I got pregnant because my mood swings were off the charts, especially around that time of month, but since I started taking it I haven't had any melt downs AT ALL (and I was having atleast one big every month)! And before I found out I was prego I upped it to B50-time release. I asked the doctor if I could continue taking it and he said sure. I told him good thing because when I don't have it for a long period of time I'm ready to commit murder and he laughed and I told him I wasn't joking. LOL. And it's the honest truth folks. Good thing vitamin B exists in the world. It's a natural mood stabilizer and it coats your nerve endings...or something like that. Works wonders I tell you. So, if you're having some issues with PMS or mood swings, this stuff will do it. AND it's cheap. You can get you a bottle at Wal-Mart for like $4-$5.

ANYWAYS, I got wwwaaaaayyy off there. Here is what the little (I need a unique name. Wanna help?) thing looked like in size back at 4 weeks:



And here's what it looks like now:


Isn't that amazing! And crazy. And mind blowing. What a cute little fig. HEY, maybe that's what I should call it. Fig! Any takers?
