11.5 Weeks!

How far along: 11 Weeks, 3 Days

Symptoms: Overall feeling pretty good. Less fatigue and nausea than last week, but it is still there, catching me at random moments. I think the nausea is worse when I am tired. 
Is lack of motivation considered a symptom? I try to work out daily, and usually I can get cardio in, no problem. However, I have been really bad about strength training. Probably because I like to do muscles in the evening after Janelle is in bed, but I am too lazy by then to make myself do it. Ideally I would do strength training 4 days a week. If I can, I will, but I will be happy, at this point, if I can get 2 days in. I use a book called "You Are Your Own Gym". It is amazing. Seriously, get it. The guy is a beast, and you can do all the exercises at home, no equipment required. After completing a ten week program, I was stronger than I have ever been. 

Weight gain: 4 pounds, plus or minus a couple pounds, depending on the day.

Gender: Leaving it up to Josh this time. 

Feeling: Pretty great. It has been an easy pregnancy so far. I'm looking forward to hitting the 12 week mark on Friday, and pretty soon I'll be in my second trimester!!! Lots of things to look forward to in the coming weeks. 

Milestones: First official OB appointment went well. Nothing monumental, Didn't hear the heart beat or anything, Just had the really fun PAP smear and talked about plans for this pregnancy. My doctor is fantastic. She really takes her time and loves to chat (which can also be a drawback if your appointment is later in the day, she is almost always running late).

Next appointment: May 29th. Heartbeat by Doppler? Yes, please!
