I am 11ish weeks along and everything is looking great. Our little "bean" has definitely grown!! It has a strong heart beat and the doctor said everything is progressing well.
Last weekend, we were able to have a little getaway to see my family in Clearwater Beach, FL. (Congrats to my little sister who is now engaged! woot!!) The harsh reality of being pregnant struck me when I couldn't button any of my shorts from last year! The rubber band trick works wonders for keeping my pants up. http://diymaternity.com/pants-skirts/the-rubberband-maternity-trick/
I have also invested in a pair of maternity shorts and maternity jeans. However, I believe this summer I will be living in dresses!I have been extremely blessed with hardly any morning sickness. I am super tired, but for now I can handle that!! I miss Chick Fil A sweet tea the most...I don't really have any cravings, but the baby has ruled out Japanese food, hot dogs, and krispy kreme doughnuts. The list will grow I am sure!
We have exhausted all "options" to determine whether it will be a girl or a boy...any guesses? Let me just say this...the Chinese calendar, the Ramzi method, and the wedding ring on a string test...all proved to have the same result!! Of course we will find out what it will be...neither of us have the patience to wait until it is born!
Jon was able to join me at the doctor's office last week for the first time. It was so nice to finally have him there! The doctor didn't allow us to hear the heart beat, but he said seeing it was just as good (if not better) than hearing it. We really like our doctor. He is very blunt and shoots it straight with us anytime we have a question. My next appointment isn't until the middle of May. I am going to try to get better at updating this until then! (belly pictures to follow sometime this week...)
