week 11

Week 11
36 days sober.
2 pillows still, but asking Kim for a body pillow.

So Kim and I skipped the prenatal class. I couldn’t get off work and Kim couldn’t miss football practice. So we rescheduled it for next month. The biggest problem with Tripler, is their scheduling. There are so many military families, many which are expecting, you really don’t get a lot of flexibility from them when making appointments. We rescheduled our prenatal class to Thursday October 9. Kim is taking his SATs that day, so who knows if we'll make that one either. We maybe rescheduling it yet again.
I can’t fit into my cute little summer shorts anymore. Or my size 4 jeans. Or my jean skirt. That was a little sad. I decided to pack them up into a box because I’m not going to fit them until we move to Arizona sometime next summer. So I have a box of skinny clothes that gets an article of clothing thrown into it about every 3-4 days. That’s ok, one day…..ah! one day, things will be the same again. I am not in need of maternity clothes yet, I’m putting that off as long as possible. That stuff is expensive, and I need toilet paper!
Labs were this week. Hopefully based on my hormone levels they will be able to help us figure out how far along I am, because we’re still questioning if I really am 11 weeks. If I am 11 weeks, the baby is a little more than an inch long and weighs about 4 grams. So basically the size of a paper clip, and the weight of 4 paper clips. So cute. Bad news, the tail is officially gone this week. As the baby upgrades itself from an embryo to a fetus. So now, I am “liz and fetus”. I also decided that I am going to start keeping track of my belly growth from now on, so I can tell my docs how much its grown since today.
This week my belly is measuring at: 29 inches around. I measured along my belly button line. So no new news, but the high risk doctor is this Thursday. Hopefully they tell me something meaningful and exciting because I’m really starting to get impatient.
