Breadcrumb Week 11

How far along: 11 weeks, 1 day

Total Weight Gain/Loss: -14 pounds

Symptoms: I feel like this week, my body was finally like "holy shit we're pregnant!" and decided to give me every symptom in the book.

• Periods of nausea 
• food aversions 
• tiredness 
• Loss of sex drive
• Nose bleeds
• sneezing (can sneezing be a symptom? I sneeze like 10-15 times a day!)
• Bloody gums
• Strange cramps/pains

I'm still having those cramps/pains every day. I'm undecided if it's growing pains or something else; however, they have decreased on the pain scale, so I haven't made an appointment with my OB. I have noticed that they increase when I've done a lot during the day, even if it's just walking around a store, so I've been trying to keep things low key. We did order a doppler so that we can check up on Breadcrumb's heartbeat during scary times like this.

Maternity clothes: Wearing maternity jeans more often than not; as soon as I get home, I'm either in yoga pants or PJ pants.

Stretch marks: Nothing new. I have a few on my stomach from when I gained weight in the past, but they're really light.

Sleep: Sleep is ok. A few times this week, I've woken up in the middle of the night to pee. Most nights I'm waking up throughout the night to reposition myself. 

Best moment last week: Unfortunately the cramps scare kind of overshadowed last week so I can't think of a "best moment," but as always, I'm beyond thankful to be in this place. 

 

Movement: Too early.

Food cravings: Milk! I'm really particular about my milk consumption (I won't drink it unless it's ice cold,) and I think I've drank more milk this week than I have in all of 2013. 

Gender: Don't know yet, though I have my suspicions. Keegan told me that he thinks we're having a girl.

Labor signs: Zilch, thank goodness.

Belly button? In, maybe getting shallower 

What I miss: Nothing, really.

What I am looking forward to: Seeing Breadcrumb at our next appointment on 2/6, starting to plan the nursery

Baby Buys: Bought a set of onesies from Kohls that were on sale.  

Milestones: Making it to 11 weeks!
