It has been 11 weeks already! The past 2 weeks have been exhausting for me. I haven't been doing any more than my normal routine, but I am always soooo tired. I have even been going to bed an hour earlier than I normally do. I wish my company would implement nap time, hehe! My body is definitely working overtime to grow a healthy baby :) At 11 weeks, our baby is now the size of a fig (1.5-2 inches long).
There is still no sign of a baby belly yet, and my waist is approximately the same size as weeks 9 and 10. The "thicker" belly in this picture is just new fat storage and water weight.
I did make my first maternity purchase last week. I bought a Bella Band that fits around the waist. The intent of the band is to hold up/cover up unbuttoned and unzippered pants I currently own. This way I can hold out as long as possible on buying real maternity pants. I am considering wearing this band beginning next week, since some of my pants are getting very uncomfortable while at work.
So excited for you guys! I just found out my brother in law and his wife are expecting again...due around the same time you are!
ReplyDeleteBella bands are awesome!I used them too.
Can I just say that I love the "baby is about the size of..." quotes and pictures! I am so glad you two started a blog!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your brother-in-law Tara!
ReplyDeleteI also love the baby size comparisons. I always say something to Shaun like, "Well, this week we are growing a fig!"
