The other day I was thinking about the 2 digit milestone, but it's not really a milestone because you're essentially 2 digits for 30 weeks!
I really, really need to do my overflowing sink full of dishes, but I really, really don't have any motivation. Ugh I hate this feeling so much!
So here's the good news! Yesterday I noticed quite a bit more fullness in my lower belly, and a shirt that I haven't worn in a few weeks was fitting strangely as well (it fit perfectly a few weeks ago!) Justin touched my stomach and even though it's all fat right now it was a little harder than usual and he's like "Already?" and I was like "That's what I'm saying!" I even noticed some resistance while trying to put my shoes on, thank goodness summer and flip flop season is coming up!
Anyway we're in bed later that night and I just had this overwhelming feeling that we might actually get lucky if we used the doppler, so I broke it out and concentrated really hard! I noticed something strange right away, I wasn't getting the usual open air "nothingness" sounds like I have been the past two weeks, it almost sounded like there was something in there, something that was not holding still! I kept getting strange snatches of possibly a heartbeat that was very light, but then would move away right away. It wasn't even 5 minutes later when I found the heartbeat, no questions about it! It was very quick, but I was too excited to count it at the time. Justin got to listen too, it was awesome. I can't even describe the feeling of relief and happiness that comes over you to receive such great confirmation that everything is still going on down there! I've been scaring myself that this is too good to be true and I'm going to have a nightmare when I go in for my NT scan next Tuesday, but now I'm not worried a bit! I plan on breaking it out in just a little while and getting a heart rate just so I can listen to it again!
A snapshot of 11 weeks:
Symptoms - I've got greasy hair, a queasy stomach, sore boobs, a tired body and mind, and a burgeoning belly.
Food cravings - Food and I are still taking a break, not sure when this relationship status will change!
Size of baby - A lime! Baby should be about 2ish inches and 1/2 an ounce, seems like it's growing like a little baby weed!
