Hey everyone :) We are 11 Weeks and 6 Days Pregnant! Crazy how the time is flying. Life this past two Weeks have been crazy and hectic around here. We had a bad flood that happened in our basement on the 16th. So we were out of our home and staying with my In-Laws for a couple days. We came home on the 21st so we have been home since. But we all caught colds this past week :( So I really hope we can all feel better soon so we can finally start enjoying our home again and enjoying life! Lol. I was able to keep track of this past week though so I am happy that I can finally get an update done for our 11 Weeks...since we weren't able to do a 10 Week update! I had my Prenatal Appointment on Tuesday. It went really well...everything looks great on my part. The doctor talked to me about my numbing episodes that have happened. The way she described it was basically they are Migraines with Aura. Here is something I found in an article about what it is exactly. http://www.webmd.com/migraines-headaches/what-is-a-migraine-with-aura A migraine with aura comes with additional symptoms, which often begin about 30 minutes or less before the headache. These early symptoms are called a prodrome. The prodrome or aura may last for five to 20 minutes, or it may continue even after the headache subsides. Symptoms of aura include:
This is crazy...because I have experienced some of these things before the migraine occurs. This has happened to me twice this pregnancy. The Numbness (Prickling Skin) I would say is the worse part of it....well let's get real the worse part is the deadly migraine that occurs afterwards. My Doctor told me that if this happens again...as soon as I feel numbness starting to take 2 tylenol capsules to see if we can stop the migraine from starting once all these symptoms end...(the blurryness, numbness, weakness!) This is scary stuff...so I do hope it doesn't happen to me again. This past week was a good week, even though we are all with colds right now. Sore throat, coughing and our boys have it worse I think...with snotty noses and coughing. Oh how it sucks to have children who aren't feeling great :( Poor things. It felt like Jayden was a bit more busy with School this past week as well...and of course he has guitar lessons twice a week during the evenings....so it has been busy for this Mama. But my Hubby is so sweet and let me go have a ladies movie night with my Sister-In-Law Emma and a couple friends. It was so nice to just be able to go...eat yummy snacks and actually relax and sit through a whole movie without interruptions :) We watched "The Other Woman" I thought it was a good movie :) What a wonderful way to take some Mama time though :) Anyways I think those are the biggest things that happened this week. Here are my questions for the week. Enjoy! How far along? 11 Weeks & 6 Days Pregnant How big is baby? The size of a lime. 1.6 inches. 0.25 ounces. About baby? Baby is moving a lot in there, his/her skin is still see-through, fingers & toes are no longer webbed & tooth buds, hair follicles & nail beds are forming! Total weight gain and bump measurements: 4lbs total weight gain! (down a couple lbs) 38inch baby bump! (my bump measurement also went down an inch...so maybe that baby bloat is finally going away?) Maternity clothes? Maternity Stretch marks? None. Sleep: Sleep is amazing <3 Best moment this week: Going to Edmonton with my Sister-in-Law to get shopping done...although my date with my Hubby was pretty great too though! Miss anything? Jayden had a Crabbie's Ginger Beer on our date night...so definitely one of those :( Movement: Not at all this week! Food cravings: Big ol' plate of nachos with beef on them! I was lucky enough that Open Mic Night had some there for us to order....soooo...Goood!!!!! Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs :( Gender: Don't know yet. Labor signs: Nope. Symptoms: Headache's, Nausea a couple times this week, sore boobs! Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On. Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Looking forward to: Starting 2nd Trimester!!!!!! That's it for the week. There was definitely more to update on! Hope you enjoyed and thank you so much for stopping by.

(Blog post from December 27th, 2012- 11 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant) Hello All, Well I am writing to you from Mexico. Crazy that I am sitting in +25 Degree Weather, soaking up the sun in a bathing suit and drinking way to sweet drinks (non alcohol of course) I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that this is the weather here, and it's like -30 Degrees back hom in the mountains. Eeek. Isaiah got a pretty bad fever today. Last night it started actually, so it has been a rough night. Poor little man, he get's so hot that we have to dunk him in cool water...I am pretty sure he is going to hate baths/showers after this trip is over. I am hoping it wont' last long though, and he can feel better soon. I can feel a bit of a cold coming on for myself too. I have been waking up with a really soar throat lately, so this sucks. I feel really bloated lately, and I am not enjoying the food here. Oh well it is what it is I guess. It will all be over soon. Mexico is great though, I am having fun...even though there are some trials to go along with the trip. But God is good, and he will get us through these nasty bugs. I still feel so blessed that we are pregnant, it honestly still hasn't kicked in completely yet. I feel so lucky. Here are my Q's for the Week. Enjoy! How big is Baby for Week 11? About 2 Inches long. How far along? 11 Weeks 6 Days Pregnant Total weight gain and bump measurements: Didn't weigh myself :( Maternity clothes? Yup, My Maternity Skinny Jeans from Motherhood Maternity and my top is from Thyme Maternity, it doubles as a maternity shirt and a nursing top :) Stretch marks? Nope (and I have been slacking on my bio-oil) Sleep: Yeah but I am getting more and more uncomfortable. Best moment this week: leaving Minus 25 to plus 25!!! Oh yeah Mexico. Miss anything? Ok I might have missed on of those drinks on the beach...but not really. Movement: I kind of felt the baby doing some rolling on the airplane...I remember that feeling, but I guess it could have just been my tummy... Food cravings: Just a huge slice of pizza is all. Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. Gender: Don't know Labor signs: No. Symptoms: Crampy, Bloated Belly button in or out? In. Wedding rings on or off? On Happy or moody most of the time: A little bit moody, but mostly Happy Looking forward to: Going home and eating homecooked meals :) My 11 Week Bump (Thanks Honey for the shots) and yes my tummy does go flat at the front during my pregnancies, it is honestly the weirdest thing ever. Lol
