11 weeks part 2

Here is a picture from 10 weeks---I look pretty much the same as before I was pregnant, so I'll probably hold off on lots of pictures until I start getting a bump! I am READY for a bump (I know, i'll regret saying that in about 6 months!). But I am excited to feel my baby move around my belly and let strangers know without me having to say anything! I haven't bought any maternity clothes yet, but my clothes aren't really getting tight. I don't feel very different from pre-pregnancy, thankfully! I am hoping I can still wear all of my clothes until at least 16-20 weeks. I will probably have to pull out the hairband trick soon, and maybe get a belly band or something. So far, so good. At the end of the day when I'm really bloated, I have to unbutton my pants, they are soooo uncomfortable! Ready for a belly!

11 weeks

Hi Sweet Pea!
I have been gone for quite a few weeks, haven't I? Well, I had good reason! You gave us quite the scare. I started bleeding from 6-8 weeks. It was really, really scary, and really hard to go to work everyday while being worried about you. Thanks to Heavenly Father, the bleeding completely stopped right at 8 weeks, and I haven't had any since. I hear your heartbeat at least 3 times a week. I rented a doppler to use. I knew I couldn't rush to the ER every time I got nervous, and it was only $20 for some peace of mind. I am going to return it soon, but I LOVE hearing your thumping, galloping heartbeat. It makes me melt! I love you sweet thing! Next Thursday I have my 12 week Dr. appointment. I am so excited! I don't think I'll get another ultrasound, but I'm sure I'll get to hear you again. This week some exciting things are happening:

• You are 1 1/2 inches long
• The size of a fig
• You are kicking and stretching like crazy
• Tiny teeth are forming
• All of your important parts are fully formed!

I pray everyday that you keep growing and developing correctly and STAY INSIDE ME for another 7 months! We cannot wait to see what you are (We both think you're a BOY!) and tell our families about you!

Love,

mama bear
