I'm happy to share that as of Wednesday, our little one has a strong heartbeat of 165 and is growing right on schedule. And, today I hit the 11 week mark!
Our baby is now the size of a lime and the head-to-body ratio is 1:1. Can you imagine that?! S/he looks quite adorable in our most recent sonogram photo, if I do say so myself! ;)
On this day last pregnancy, I was undergoing my MVA. That was one of, if not the, worst days of my life. All this past week I've been really nervous, and each little twinge or pain has my mind racing. I'm trying to stay calm and stay rational, but that has proven to be quite a challenge. Lucky for me, my hubby has enough patience and calmness for the both of us. And, he's a pretty darn good cook, too, so count me super-lucky!
In addition to being a bit nervous, the reason I've been MIA on the blog is because I've been feeling like total POOP. {Pardon my potty mouth.} I've been able to {barely} drag myself out of bed every morning, get my butt to work, and have tried to act like a semi-normal human while I'm there {since nobody except my boss know my little secret}. But that's where it ends. By the time I drag myself in the door at night I'm completely useless. As in I collapse on the couch inside the door and can't even get to the bedroom to get my pajamas on. Luckily, I've only physically gotten sick once, and I've been able to eat pretty well-balanced meals on most days. But, for a large part of every day I have this super gross feeling in my tummy that alters between nausea & pain, and disgusting taste in the back of my throat that makes functioning like a normal adult pretty darn hard. So this is why I haven't been blogging much. But, since I'm slowly nearing the end of my first trimester, I'm hoping I'll start feeling better soon and can do some more regular blog posts, because I have SO much to discuss with you all!
In the meanwhile, you know what Kelly Clarkson says.... what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! And in this case, I'm going through all of this for a VERY worthwhile cause. So, I'll keep the rest of my complaints to myself and leave you with this funny little laugh:
Happy November!
