11 Weeks

Here we are with a week left in the first trimester. Week 12 starts on Wednesday, and that’s when we’re going in for our 12-week NT scan. I’m so excited. I just want to see Smudge again. I get so paranoid and think about what could go wrong probably, as Joe says, because so much has gone wrong in our quest for a baby. It’s hard to imagine this going right.

Here I am at 11 weeks. I look more pregnant in my empire-waist shirts than I do in regular shirts, but it’s ok.

At 11 weeks, I’m:

  • Hungry ALL.THE.TIME. Seriously, it’s insane. I’ll eat breakfast or lunch, and a little while later I’m STARVING again. I’m sure ready for my appetite to go back to normal!
  • Peeing constantly. Apparently it’s because the baby is resting on my bladder. It’s insane. I’m usually up every hour during the night. Yikes.
  • In maternity pants. They are *so* much more comfortable than regular pants and, since everyone knows I’m pregnant, there’s no need to hide it. I might as well go for comfort.
  • Self-conscious about my stomach. I didn’t start out with a flat stomach, so now it’s just a lot larger. In empire-waist shirts I look pregnant (at least in my eyes), but in regular shirts I just look blubbery, like I’ve been hitting the cookies too much.
  • Incredibly paranoid and fearful. I have a week to go until I’m pretty much out of the dangerzone, and I’m so scared that when I go in for my u/s on Wednesday, I’m going to get bad news. Joe says that’s because the road to get here has been so rough. I honestly know deep down that things are fine, but there’s still that little bit of fear. I’m sure it’s normal.

    • I am counting down the days until Week 13 gets here.

      Everyone looks pregnant in empire waist shirts. 🙂

      Good luck with the scan. I’d think everything because REALLY really real when smudge starts looking more and more like you’re baby.
