I'm 11 weeks! 11 weeks isn't as big of a milestone as 10 weeks but it's awfully close to 12 weeks - which some consider the start of the second trimester so it's pretty friggen awesome.
How Far Along: 11 weeks, 1 days (picture taken at 11 weeks)
Size of baby: Baby is the size of a lime
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Still down 9-10 pounds from retrieval day amazingly
Workouts: Traveled most of this week for Thanksgiving and still getting over cold so no
Maternity Clothes: Not yet
This week is the first week in November that I don't have a day off and H is unexpectedly out of town all week so I'm catching up on some "me" time, namely eating microwaved food and watching Teen Mom 2 on Netflix. I'm nearly done fighting the Cold of Death. Work is getting busier.
Yesterday was another milestone of sorts. I saw an old colleague I used to be close with on the street and randomly told her I was pregnant. I'm not sure what came over me. She proceeded to tell me all about her many miscarriages and how she hemorrhaged throughout her entire pregnancy with her son and had to be hospitalized for much of the pregnancy. Yikes!

What I miss: Wine! Thanksgiving with family was tough stone cold sober

Pregnancy is going well. I woke up yesterday to some blood tinged CM which was scary. It was followed by some killer cramps that had me panicked and Dr. Googling. I was annoyed that after being so Zen Calm about pregnancy so far I had reason to freak all of a sudden. I decided against calling the doctor because I didn't want to be "that patient." One of the things Dr. Google suggested was dehydration and even though I usually drink A TON of water at work I drank some more and eventually the cramps subsided. Today all is okay.
Thanksgiving we gathered twenty of my husbands family and friends in my inlaw's living room and told them the news about our pregnancy. I cried my eyes out, which is weird because I already knew the news. LOL
