Pregnancy Update - 11 weeks

June 18, 2010

We had our final 2 week visit this week. We will now go back to a regular OB schedule of once every 4 weeks. I will definitely miss the regular ultrasounds but at least I know now that everything is going as planned and the baby looks great! 

We decide to wait to tell most of our friends and family until the last couple of weeks. By now, most everyone is expecting the Schmitt Family's newest addition! Although the due date is January 6th, 2011, this baby will be born in 2010. Since we already had a C-Section due to complications with Carson's pregnancy we opted to do a repeat C-section as we felt that was the best decision for us. So, given that we can schedule a C-Section at 39 weeks, this baby will either be born on New Year's Eve or earlier. My doctor is betting on the week of Christmas. We will see!!! God could  not bless us with a better gift to honor His son's birth.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along

11 weeks

Symptoms

- Fatigue

- Still feeling pretty icky with Morning, afternoon and evening sickness/nausea 

- Eating is getting a little easier

- My chocolate milk craving is back!!!

Maternity Clothes:

Dresses, dresses and more dresses. I can wear most of my non-maternity summer dresses. I also have a couple of maternity dresses that I am now wearing. Now that its 95+ degrees everyday, the less clothing I wear, the better. So the sun dresses work perfectly! I have one last pair of shorts that sit low enough on my hips that I can wear if I unbutton them when I sit down.

Movement:

None yet.

Sleep:

I am still sleeping pretty good. I wake up on average 1-2 times a night to go to the bathroom. Bedtime is still around 8pm.

I don't have any recent pictures of the belly for this post, however, this is where I was at 11 weeks with Carson. I have a 9 week comparison photo for you to imagine that I am definitely bigger this time at 11 weeks!
