11 weeks 3 days

11 weeks: Well, baby should be the size of a large plum by the end of the week. It has some reflexes at this point so if I push on my belly, supposedly it will respond and move around but I still can't feel it. Most systems are formed now so it's all about growing and getting all those new organs to work.

Symptoms: I seem to be getting more headaches than usual but that isn't a surprise since I'm sure my hormones are crazy. My extreme fatigue gave me a break the other day and I thought I might be turning a corner but it was back yesterday and today. I have also been having some significant round ligament pain when I stretch or sneeze.

Cravings/Aversions: Nothing too new. Eggs are kind of gross lately but I try to eat them just to get some protein. My appetite has improved since the nausea has worn off and I eat pretty much normally now, which is nice.

News for the week: Carl and I bought a dresser for the baby room. We wanted to buy the crib but it was out of stock. We also ordered a glider for the room for late night feedings! I can't wait to get some of the furniture set up in the room so it looks like a baby space.
We also bought a gender prediction test from the pharmacy. We know the likelihood that it is correct is probably 50/50 but it is fun. So today I took the test. I mixed my urine with some sort of crystals and waited 5 minutes. If it stayed yellow or turned sort of orange it meant girl. If it turned green it meant boy. And. . . . . it says boy. Carl was excited. So I guess we'll see!
