Raising Steppe Sisters: Tummy Tuesday #1

I haven't been that anxious to document Tummy Tuesday yet this time....

mainly because I was shocked at what my belly has already become.

But then when I looked back at my TT posts from Harper,

I was just as huge then.....so today is the day.

How far along? 11 weeks

Yes, I'm really that big already. At least I'm consistent with last time though.

Sleep? Yes, I'm exhausted so I sleep often. Unfortunately, our family is A LOT busier this go around than we were the last time I was pregant, so I just sleep when I can....including my lunch break nap in my car. The good news is that we have been so busy with track and softball that time is actually flying by!

Maternity clothes? I'm already in my maternity pants...at first I was trying to avoid it, but then I realized that I already had them and they are comfty, so why not?!

Best moment this week? We had a 9 hour track meet this past Saturday, so I would say my best moment was actually getting home after that! Also, being strong enough to tell the nurse that I didn't want to know the gender, even though they officially know now!!

Miss anything? Running. For sure.

Movement? None that I can feel yet, but according to the 4 (yes, I really have had 4 already!!) ultrasounds, this little baby is a mover and a shaker!

Size of the baby? a lime. 0.25 ounces

Food cravings? None in particular. Although when I do crave something, it needs to happen immediatly.

Morning sickness? Not really....not enough to complain about. I feel nauseous kinda often, but no real problems.

Gender? I feel like it's a girl....but I'm not sure if I just think this because we have TONS of boy stuff and so I'm assuming that won't work out. Or if it's because I want a girl....I can't be sure. But either way, we aren't finding out anytime soon! And NO ONE is happy about this decision. I had no idea so many people would be annoyed with us for waiting....

Bed rest? Nope.

Limitations? None really to compain of....I can't really exercise, but I don't plan on doing that the entire pregnancy. I'd love to be a woman that could, but my focus is on growing this baby right now and nothing else.

Pregnancy Symptoms? My back kills me....and after looking at my last TT post #1, it looks like this is pretty consistent!

Wedding Rings? Still on.

Looking forward to? I'm just trying to enjoy every single minute of this pregnancy. I don't know if I will be more successful this time than I was last time, but I do know that I'm going to spend every second enjoying the miracle that is growing inside of me. :)

And just for fun, here's a comparison shot between Harper's 11 week bump pic and #4's bump pic.

A few people have said I look smaller now, I'm not sure, but I'll take it!
