11 Weeks!

Sunday, July 24, 2011 - Posted by Danielle at 4:49 PM
It's been a fun week!! We have had a great time shopping at baby stores and scoping out Craigslist for good deals to start filling the nursery! We've been finding as much as we can without knowing the gender. This week we got the stroller put together and we found a great deal on Craigslist for a video baby monitor for only $15!! The idea of a used breast pump completely grossed me out at first but when I really did my research in it, I learned that it's actually quite easy to make a used pump sterile. I found a set online - pump, everything to make it "sterile" again, and lots of little extras - about $400-$450 worth of stuff and we got it all for $150!! Even weirder was the fact that of everyone we could have bought this from, we showed up at the house to look at it and it was a lady I had interviewed with for a job several months back! Small world!!

Physically, I've been feeling better this week as far as nauseousness. The biggest thing for me this week is how incredibly exhausted I am. I feel like the tiniest little activity just makes me feel completely beat. Thursday, I came home for lunch and took a 25 minute nap, got home after work and napped for an hour, fell asleep on the couch at 8:00, Mark told me to head up to bed and I didn't wake up until my alarm went off the next morning! I'm hoping my energy will return soon; I look around the house and see so many things I need to get to but I just don't have the energy right now!!

Big events this week...we bought the crib yesterday (yay!! It's the one in the last post) and this coming Thursday is our midwife appointment where we will HOPEFULLY be hearing a heartbeat!!!

Belly-wise...yesterday I had a bit of a meltdown. I had been trying and trying to find something that would fit and look cute. I tried on so many outfits yesterday and between pants not buttoning and feeling like I was falling out of every top, it wasn't a fun event. After trying on one pair of tight capris and getting dry heaves and another pair actually making me throw up, Mark helped me find something that whether cute or not, wouldn't make me sick!!! It seems just crazy to me that my pants already don't fit, but...there's some that definitely do not!

As people have asked about twins, I remember that great Friends episode... have ya seen it?! I love Erica's reaction...


We'll keep you posted after the Thursday appointment! Thanks for stopping by!
