Time Flies!

It's crazy to think we're already 11 weeks in!  Baby is the size of a small lime (about 2").  (Ok, I don't think I've ever seen a lime as small as 2", but that's what the baby apps on my phone say...)

Baby is the size of a lime this week.

Craig commenced some "light" construction in the baby's room.  We're turning the door around - it currently opens outward into the hallway, so he's flipping it around to open inward.  This is not as easy as it sounds with the way the old moulding is placed, so there will probably be a fresh plaster job in our future.  We also have plans to refinish the floors and add some more electrical outlets (plus replace the current old-style outlets).  Now, I say "we" but really it's mostly Craig!  Haha!  Oh, and a fresh coat of paint - our "favorite" stand-by, Navajo White, the color in most of the rest of the house.  I'm hoping for a calm, quiet atmosphere for the baby's room.  Neutral enough for either gender and relaxing enough to prompt smooth transitions to sleep!

Only another week and we get a fresh picture at the next ultrasound.  We're excited because the baby is supposed to look less like an alien and more like a human.  Plus, we're gearing up for sending out our pregnancy announcment - it has a cute Easter theme!

11 weeks pregnant

This week, I am finally feeling less nauseous (note the "less" and no sign of the word "gone").  It's mostly in the evening at this point, but I finally was able to eat dinner for the last few days.  Thankfully, because, as anyone who knows me knows, I hate when my meals are interrupted.  I still pee almost every hour on the hour, though luckily only 2-3 hours at night.  No sign of the "rack" I was hoping for yet - I still have my fingers crossed!  Also no baby bump in sight, which is fine with me.  Baby can stay hidden till May 31st if it was up to me!  Once work is out for the summer, s/he can happily make my feet disappear.

Craig and I have also been tossing names around.  I'll admit (though not to Craig!) that knowing the sex of the baby would make this decision much easier, but it'll be fun to be surprised.  It's still too early to pick one, but I have my favorites.  Of course, that might change in the next 6 months, but either way no one but us will know until baby shows his/her face in October.

Time is flying, and I'm nervously excited.  Less than 29 weeks to go!
