Baby #3: 11 Weeks

Another week down! Time is FLYING! Things are getting better, symptom wise, which I am SOOO happy about! Fingers crossed it keeps getting better and better from here on out. Here is a little update about the Haines Baby #3.

About Baby: Baby is about 1 1/2 inches long (About the size of a fig) It is moving and grooving in there. I felt a teeny flutter the other day when I was completely relaxed, but other than that, I haven't felt any movement. I'm not supposed to for a few more weeks, but with this being the 3rd pregnancy, I know what to feel for.

Weight Gain: Still 1 pound. No weight gain this week. I'm expecting some weight gain in the next couple weeks, since my appetite is coming back. Thank goodness.

Symptoms: Morning sickness is subsiding. I had 2 or 3 evenings where I didn't feel great, but I ended up just laying in bed watching Netflix and sipping Sprite, which helped. Other than that I have felt pretty dang good this past week. No real complaints. Food is sounding good again. My exhaustion is getting better. I don't feel the need for a nap in the middle of the day and I'm not crashing into bed at the end of the day. Sleep is always wonderful, especially with little ones in the house, so I never complain about a good nights sleep. Alden had an ear infection this week so I wasn't getting much sleep with that. Hip Pain has begun, just like my last pregnancies. My hips go back after every birth, so my body has to re-stretch to make room for baby. Stretching, walking and yoga has helped this pain immensely! I've had a little bit of nesting. I decided I needed to organize the laundry room, leaving Lyndon confused where everything was, but it was nice to have the energy to want to organize!

Sleep: No complaints with sleep. No discomfort at all when moving around at night. I wake up remembering not to lay flat on my back and I am starting to really enjoy my body pillow again. Other than that, I am feeling like I'm getting enough rest, most nights.

Cravings: Iced Tea with Lemon. I drink LOTS of water and iced tea during the day and my mom introduced me to this powdered lemon (Actual lemon) and it's DELIGHTFUL! No serious cravings yet. Just thankful food sounds decent.

Best Moment This Week: Family in town. Alden's last T-Ball game. Feeling a tiny flutter. And, getting a little bump. Good things are happening in there and in our home!

Looking Forward To: Next doctors appointment next week. Soon we will be scheduling an appointment for another ultrasound to find out the gender! It's crazy how fast this pregnancy is going!

11 Weeks Down, 29 To Go!

Until Next Week!
