11 Weeks

11 weeks: Baby is the size of a ~~fig~~ strawberry!

Yeah, I’m having issues with the “standard” fruit comparisons. My first issue was the kumquat: there were no kumquats at the commissary, and I don’t even really know what the heck a kumquat is. And this week is a fig, which I also didn’t have on hand. So I found a strawberry that was the right size. I think the next few weeks are fruits I would actually buy though, so I’ll get back on track. 🙂

How far along: 11 weeks

Gender: still kind of thinking girl

Weight gain: I have no idea anymore. We got a scale, and I weighed less than what I told the doctor that I thought I weighed before pregnancy. So I’ll base it on my current weight from now on, I guess. But yay! I must have lost weight at some point, haha!
Symptoms: Only one day of vomiting! But the nausea was worse this week, I think. We went out to dinner with some friends on Wednesday, and my appetite was just not there. So depressing.

Maternity clothes: not yet

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: in

Sleep: totally fine..except for my middle-of-the-night potty trips

Best moment this week: Celebrating with some close friends 🙂 They gave us a little orchid that will bloom again around the time the baby is born… how sweet!

Miss anything: Having a real appetite. And actually wanting to eat things.

Movement: not yet

Cravings: Nope. My diet has been really boring and repetitive. I seriously feel like I eat the same things all the time. I repeat: I really miss having a real appetite.
Looking forward to: Announcing our big news on Mother’s Day next weekend!

A few of our first things for Baby Kiel:

The first thing we got for the baby was the little lamb. And actually, it was Andrew who got the first gift for Baby! He picked it out himself and everything. 🙂 I randomly picked out the gender-neutral sleepers a week or so ago. But that little lamb has been sitting on the couch for about a month now, just reminding us of our little one growing every day!
