11 weeks

Baby's now the size of a lime!

Your fetus currently enjoys a 1:1 ratio between body and head, and has skin so transparent that blood vessels show right through it. 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.





How Far Along: 11 weeks
Total Weight Gain/Loss: now 129 (which i think is unbelievable given how much Taco Bell I've had...)
Maternity Clothes: Wore my BellaBand for the first time- i love it! makes the 'uncomfy' pants bearable!
Gender: 7 weeks till we find out :)
Movement: nothin yet
What I miss: Coffee still. I also miss my normal moods - ive been getting a little angry lately :)
Sleep: Still restless. Tossing and turning - I had one night of sleep where I don't think I moved the entire night and that was wonderful. Every other night has been bleh.
Symptoms: Ok. I don't want to jinx this...however, for the past 6 days now...I have felt pretty good! No normal sickness! The fatigue has kicked it up several notches but no nausea at all! We will see if this lasts...
Cravings: Taco Bell :) Pizza, mainly salty things. Nothing sweet really.
Best Moment this week: my sickness subsiding!!

Poison update: I went to the dermatologist. I paid my specialist copay, I filled out my HUGE stack of papers, I waited in the waiting room (where I was the youngest person by at LEAST 50 years...), I waited in the little room, and then the Dr. came in. He said "Hey Cristy. So, I really can't do anything for you". Then proceeded to tell me his wife is pregnant and wouldn't trust her to take anything, which I am glad for I suppose but still...I just paid you and waited for you to tell me nothing. UGH.
So basically I have cream I rub on it 2 times a day and a huge wrap that is around my left arm for now to hid the disgustingness and keep the kids from calling me hideous names :) It IS looking better, however now my skin is having a reaction to it getting better and turning red AROUND the actual infected part. And this part itches worse than the other ever did. Not to be a Debbie Downer every week with this but c'mon haha

Ask about Zanfel over the counter topical scrub. It really helped mine. It says safe for pregers but I would ask your Dr. and or Pharmacist. I used it yesterday and last night now the itching is gone. It still looks terrible but that is everyone else' problem:)

Have fun!
