How Far Along: 11 weeks and 1 day!

Size of baby: A lime. Still sounds so tiny, but after googling pictures of babies at this size, it makes me kind of emotional. You can see a head and arms and legs and real person! And don't get my started on emotions. Got teary listening to a story on the radio this morning about a poor kid from Russia whose company went public and is now a billionaire, his new company is right next to where his mom and him got food stamps. Made me teary.. yes.

Sleep: So tired. All the time. I sometimes will go to bed too early and will wake up at 3am, and have a hard time going back to sleep, but overall sleeping great and waking up early. But pee ALL the time. At least 8 times throughout the night. And I love naps too. Short 30 minute bangers helps me function. 

Total Weight Gain: Actually haven't gained any weight at all since finding out I was pregnant, have actually lost a couple of pounds. But not worried, I was overweight when I started so I don't think the doctor would disagree.

Symptoms: A tiny bit of nausea, actually felt it more over the last week. But overall very grateful for how great I feel. Just tired. Easily wiped out.

Movement: No movement yet. But so excited for this day to come!

Maternity Clothes: Bought 2 pairs of maternity skinny jeans from old navy 2 weeks ago. I know super early, so decided to not put them on right away, but dove into them last week. And loved them. I better not wear them for too long after the baby is born ;) Still wearing leggings with flowly tops and dresses. Love maxi dresses. This will probably be my go-to during the summer  months.

Go-to eats: Smoothies, yum. Noodles, pickles, saltines (when feeling queasy they are life savers). Loving soup. Seems to go down great. Carbs really helps with queasiness too. And sweets, but trying to limit this. And don't want to get GD. Keep thinking about that...

Best moment of the week: Starting to feel like this is really happening. Went to the flea market yesterday with Brian and saw all these cute knit baby hats and clothes. Was drawn to them right away. Already wanted to buy some. Too early? Also starting to talk about baby names with Brian. His ideas are pretty silly right now so I can't take him seriously, but we are thinking of an Asian middle name. Kikue for a girl (after grandma) and Mamoru (after my dad) if it's a boy. Also after the Hiura kids who we love so much.

Gender: No clue. I feel like people keep asking me this. Am I a bad mom because I just don't know? I say boy, but sometimes deep down think girl. Also feel not too sick, so that says boy, but then I crave more sweets vs. salty so does that say girl? Who knows. Find out March 31st. 

Workout: Went to the gym 3 times last week, one day of yoga and 2 days of 1 hour of light cardio. Pretty good since the week before didn't go at all. Need to keep it up!

What I’m looking forward to: Second tri and not being so sleepy 

Milestones and stressors: Feeling more excited, telling more people about the baby. But also work is super busy. Figuring out life after baby and what's the best approach. How much time should I take?

Here  you are at 7 weeks!
