11 Weeks

this is beyond my normal pooch...

I felt really good this past week until Thursday then it was all downhill.  I have lost more weight but I have done a lot of research and some women have lost 15 lb’s the first trimester, are sick throughout the whole pregnancy and have perfectly healthy babies.  I try to make up for my lack of appetite by eating more when I am hungry.  I am mostly healthy things and I pretty much am nibbling on dry cereal or an apple all day long.  The funny thing is the change in my nausea has nothing to do with food, but brushing my teeth totally makes me gag and then dry heave (in the morning…since I have nothing to throw up).  It takes me a while to recover from that in the morning. 

On another note, I turn 27 tomorrow…late twenties here I come!  I will also get to go to Disney this weekend.  I am predicting that I will require lots of frozen juice drinks and breaks like at the Expo, but the Hong Kong Disney doesn’t have as many rides as it has shows and special events so I will still have a wonderful time.  I am planning on forcing Adam to ride Space Mountain since I can’t (it will be his first time to a Disney park).  And today is our engagement anniversary.

We celebrated our engagement anniversary and had my birthday dinner this past weekend (our amazing date night with Mexican food and donuts).  What I didn’t share in my date night blog was that we bought our first baby things (other than the Shanghai t-shirt).  We bought a crib mattress and a changing table mat.  I wanted to get these first so we could a) spread out the expenses, and b) see if it would be cost effective to have some furniture made.  I know a lady whose brother makes American style furniture and can make anything from a picture.  I printed out pictures of high end cribs and changing stations and checked prices on Target furniture…if I can get stuff made for the price of what we would pay at Target if we were living in the states I will go for it…if not I can just get a simple something from IKEA that we probably wouldn’t bother bringing back with us.
