11 Weeks!

Whew. I am officially the MOST pregnant I have ever been. What a weight off my shoulders to have made it to this point (even if it is only a few hours more).
Sorry I never posted a 10 week picture...I was too darn sick to take one. This blasted Prometrium is a ginormous pain in the a$$. I couldn't keep any food down between Saturday and Tuesday! Hopefully I will get around to taking an 11 weeker tonight or tomorrow. But honestly there is no change (besides the bloating that goes up and down).
And even more, I hope and pray that my Dr. says I can quit taking this Prometrium when I see her on Thursday. If she makes me stay on another week or so I might strangle her. I can blame that on the hormones, right?

Yesterday I had a renal ultrasound to check for kidney problems. I don't have the results yet, but from what my untrained eye could see there didn't seem to be any glaring problems. God willing I've escaped this possibility of another birth defect. It was kind of cool to watch. I like to test my smarts and ask the techs stuff like "Is that a rib?". I identified several body parts correctly which made me proud. Mom on the other hand asked several times "Is that the baby?" despite the transducer being pushed up into under ribs and the tech saying "We won't see the baby". Once she even got a dry, "No, that's the liver". That made me chuckle. And the tech said I was skinny. That made my day.

I finally got Justin to start discussing names with me. But he won't take it seriously. He keeps suggesting off the wall and idiotic names that he KNOWS I would never even consider. And then he shoots down every single one of my suggestions. He even tried to say that he didn't like the boy name the HE picked out months ago! Luckliy I was able to shut that one down and we still have a boy name we agree on. ::SCOFF:: Finally I just said "If you can't agree on any of the 80+ girl names I've thrown out there then you are just SOL. I'll be the one filling out the birth certificate anyway, since no one can read your handwriting."

Otherwise, nothing new. I am happy to be feeling better today and I hope it stays that way. I am also looking forward to having the whole weekend off. We're planning on taking the jet ski out tomorrow (NO, I am not going to do anything other than veg out on the island) and Sunday I am looking forward to church. I haven't been in over a month and I hate that. So stay calm tummy.

OH! I almost forgot, I THINK I might have felt movement. I KNOW, I KNOW, it is way early for that. BUT I have never felt anything like this before and it seemed too far forward toward my skin to be gas bubbles. It felt like when you vibrate your tongue on the roof of your mouth, but softer. It was totally strange. I have felt it twice, days apart, but in the same place. Justin thinks I'm just crazy. Whatever though, baby or not it made me happy.

Lets have a good appointment on Thursday ok pixie? An end to Prometrium, a nice strong heartbeat and good looking growth.
Love you!
Mommy
