New baby pics!

We went to Winnie Palmer for our prenatal testing today; I'm 11 weeks and 5 days. Here are the latest pics we got at our appointment:

Our baby is currently measure 2.45 inches and we got to hear the heartbeat. It was amazing!! The nurse said the baby was just chillin', like he was relaxing in a hammock. We did get him to move around a bit so they could do testing and measurements, all of which turned out very good! Not sure if I'll have another u/s at my OB appointment next Wednesday, but we should get regular u/s up to 24 weeks due to my previous cone biopsy. They just want to be sure the cervix stays shut and our baby stays put for the long haul! The upside is we'll get to see our baby every two weeks!

Week 11...

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through. But, fingers and toes are no longer webbed, and hair follicles, tooth buds and nail beds are forming -- setting up a significantly more attractive future.

"Setting up a significantly more attractive future" - I found that to be very funny! Let's hope so!! :)

So far so good with the B6...

I started the B6 Tuesday at lunch time, I felt a bit better that night and then continued to feel good enough Wednesday morning to eat breakfast, which was nice for change. I felt okay yesterday and was good enough to eat breakfast again today. Nice! I definitely know what I can and cannot eat, and what sounds good...and a new thing, I can really only eat half of what I used to before feeling insanely full. And I know this gets worse once you're further along, so it's good that I'm starting to get to know this feeling now. Let's hope the B6 continues to do the trick. 8 days until we get to see the baby again via u/s at Winnie Palmer! YAY! :)

Holy Horrendous Morning Sickness Batman!

Okay, so gone are the 6 whole days without morning sickness. (So much for the stupid saltines.) No amount of crackers in the morning or during the day, is helping now. I wake up nauseated, gagging and dry-heaving...and the nausea is lasting all day and getting worse over the past two days. I left work early yesterday feeling absolutely the worst since the morning sickness started. I was gagging and dry-heaving at my desk. I could not take it. Shawn brought home some Emetrol for me, which did nothing. I got some B6 today, but you only take it once a day, so we'll see how long it takes for that to kick in. The whole idea of morning sickness should be that you get sick in the morning and it's over. Lasting all day is taking its toll and wearing me out! I hope it gets better in the next three weeks. :( I'm sure at my next visit on the 21st I will probably have again lost weight (which right now, is just fine by me). However, losing it this way...not so much fun. I keep reminding myself it's worth it and the end result will be amazing. I just think to myself, "how could anyone do this more than once." My mom was very smart. :)
