11 weeks

11 weeks today. That past week feels like a blur. I don't think I was focusing on how far along pregnant I am, so the 10 weeks+ week seems like it never happened. Anyway, here I am at 11 weeks, with three days until my scan.

As I mentioned in previous posts, I have been really sick the past week. Well, I had two days in particular of feeling really sick. I then had one random energetic day where I felt pretty good most of the day and managed to get a heap of housework done, followed by another day of feeling sick (though not as bad as those other days). I'm still napping most days too. Hubby goes back to work today though, so I'd say my days of napping are over. I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to go with hubby back at work. I have really, really been leaning on him and relying on him while he has been home over the Christmas/New Year break. He has been doing a lot for the kids, getting them their food mostly because I'm scared of the fridge haha. He's been doing all the supermarket runs, he's been letting me nap most days, changing stinky nappies and doing most things I've asked him to. The housework has barely been done, cause apparently he doesn't see the mess or something, but all the other stuff he has been doing every day for over two weeks. And now he goes back to work and it's all back on me. Luckily my mum is still on holidays all this week, so at least if I get desperate I can ask her to watch the kids for me.

I weighed in at 68.85kg. Just checked, and I was 68.8kg last week, so I guess you could say my weight is holding steady. I've probably lost all I will for this pregnancy, unless I have an absolutely awful week of feeling sick. I don't know what to say about my eating... I'm just eating what I can. Hardly any fruit and veg, like at all. I'm tolerating food in general okay-ish, so I should really be trying to eat better. I've been eating a bit of junk, a bit of average food, nothing highly nutritious really. I have managed baked beans a couple of times though, which I'm seeing as a win. They have good stuff in them right? I am just hanging out for when I feel normal again. Surely it can't be too far off, maybe another week or two?
And as I've already mentioned, exercise has become non-existent. And I can really tell how weak I am. My muscles feel weak and unused. I feel weak, and my fitness level must have faded so much. I'm a bit scared to go for a walk and discover just how unfit I am. I haven't been to the gym in about a month I reckon. Still, I have good intentions. Just waiting for this damned morning sickness to leave. God I hate it so much.

The most exciting thing for me today though, which isn't even pregnancy related, and is the one glimmer of good in amongst hubby going back to work, is that our brand new mattress gets delivered today. To say I'm excited is an understatement. I am really, really hanging out for this new mattress. And I am going to be very happy to go to bed tonight. Our current mattress is beyond awful... it was cheap to begin with, and is now eleven years old and has had to deal with hubby and I being obese at different points in time, me being pregnant on it twice and kids jumping on it. It has sags and lumps and is just plain uncomfortable. Tonight I get to go to sleep on a comfortable mattress!

And lastly, my weekly pregnancy photo. I think I'm starting to fill out a little. I don't have that beautiful round pregnant belly, but I think I'm look fuller through the mid section.

Anyway, bring on my scan! And bring on second trimester and feeling normal again!
