Baby: According to the pregnancy app on my phone, baby is about the size of a fig (just over 1 1/2 inches long. His or her bones are beginning to harden and hands will soon open and close into fists and he or she is already busy kicking and stretching. Can't wait to feel that in a few months! Still working on a little nickname for baby while on the inside.
Momma: My gagging and dry-heaving stopped just before 10 weeks. Now, I'm just gagging if I get a whiff of a gross or strong smell. This morning I woke up with some red blotches on my face that I thought were from crying last night, I'm a little emotional. However, my mom and Gav's mom informed me that I can expect changes to my skin, hair, nails, etc. from the hormones. I'm still counting down the days for the meds to be done, but other than that, I can't complain. Here is our first bump pic! Let's keep in mind the meds I've been on since the beginning of August before saying things like, "Do most gals have a belly at 11 weeks?" Also, don't worry, I'm getting a haircut this week.
Daddy: Cool and calm, still not getting too excited, just in case. He's keeping an eye out for houses and figuring the numbers, but the area we are looking in is very limited. Big daddy thinks a good "nick"name for the baby while on the inside would be Nick. He's hoping for a boy if you didn't know! Today he was reading a few pages from his expectant father book, pretty cute. Hopefully there was a chapter about dealing with your crying wife.
Thanks for checking in! Pretty excited to start some weekly posts, I wasn't sure if I'd ever have the chance. We are so blessed!
Your belly pic looks great! I had my little girl from donor egg almost 2.5 years ago and was just looking back at my belly pics and I was just about the same as you, I think. But, then again, I was on all the same hormones too! I remember counting down the shots. Ugh, the shots. But, obviously worth it! :) Abi
