So behind!

I can't believe how behind I've gotten! Truth be told, I was getting really nervous and couldn't really bring myself to do updates. My symptoms went away pretty quickly and worried me so, I just had a mental block these past few weeks. Let's hope after today, I'll be able to FINALLY relax!

How big is baby?

"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?:  I'm officially 11w6d. So yes, tomorrow I'll be doing the 12w update!

Maternity clothes?: Depends. I've been wearing my maternity pants out of comfort but some of my regular clothes still fit. I'm still blaming the bloat.

Movement: I THINK I felt flutters a few days ago. It felt like little bubbles popping against me. They were low around the pelvis area, and no gas afterwards, so I'm hoping I felt flutters and it wasn't just gas. Lol

Stretch marks?: None yet.

Sleep?: Is still my best friend. Second tri is supposed to have more energy and I'm looking forward to it!

Symptoms?:  Really starting to feel like myself again. Which worried me but, if feeling better is a sign of 2nd tri, bring it on!

Food cravings: Anything.. I'm hungry; all the time! And when I get fixed on something, I HAVE to have it. So far, that's been PB&J. I think I eat 2 sandwiches a day..

Belly button in or out?: Innie

What I miss:  Not a thing. I'm enjoying pregnancy!

What I'm looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby!

Milestone: Seeing Spock and his/her little heartbeat again! It was great!

View from the top!

We had another u/s today! Woot! Spock was measuring right on track and had a heartbeat of 163bpm. We got to see two little legs and feet, two arms and hands and Spock was wiggling around in there something fierce! She got us a profile and a face on shot. (Check out the Face shot! You can see the little arm and hand next to the face on the top!!) She asked us what we thought about the sex in which I said boy, and Geo said "I think it's an Alien". (See the u/s pic below). She just laughed and shook her head. So, she tried to get "the money shot", but it was still a little too early to tell. Which I assumed but, she said sometimes if you can get it just right, you can get a good idea this early on. I didn't have a true NT scan, but she said that she saw nothing that would indicate anything being wrong and didn't think I needed to get to a HR Dr. for the true scan. We met with Dr. M who confirmed that nothing alarming showed up on the u/s, so she didn't recommend a true NT scan, which is fine with me. She then asked if we were going to find out the sex, which I promptly agreed that we were. So, she said she'll let the tech know to look for it next time to see if we can see anything. Which excites me! I've never gotten this far and it's so surreal to be thinking this way!

And without further ado, here's Spock!
