11 Week Update!

One of my “followers” brought to my attention that I haven’t updated my blog lately as to how I’m feeling and stuff so I thought I better get to it! Yesterday I hit the 11 week mark and I’m feeling really, really great! I’m still going to bed pretty early but I can at least keep my eyes open through Dancing With the Stars and The Biggest Loser for the most part. Around 6 weeks or so, I was a little nauseous in the mornings but that went away pretty quickly. I’ve found that I’m a lot hungrier during the day but then after work, besides dinner, I really don’t feel like eating anything else. That’s kind of strange for me because pre-pregnancy, all I did was snack after dinner!

Next Wednesday I will be 12 weeks and I’m making my official announcement at work. While this pregnancy may be the worst kept secret in the world, I’m pretty sure most of my co-workers don’t know – I can probably attribute that to the fact that they are men, and therefore are mostly oblivious. It will be nice for it to be out in the open here though. That way people will stop thinking maybe I’ve eaten a few too many cheeseburgers! For my announcement, I’ve decided to bake sugar cut out cookies - in baby shapes of course! I found cookie cutters in the shape of a baby foot, a onesie, a rocking horse, a carriage, and a teddy bear. They are so cute! I’m just so looking forward to being a part of the “pregnant girls club”. There are two other girls in my department that are pregnant right now so it’s nice to finally be one of them!

I’ve been thinking once I’m officially through the first trimester I’m going to head back to the gym. It’s been awhile…so long in fact that I realized yesterday that I can’t remember the combination to my gym locker. Not sure what to do about that! Anyways, I’ve been walking in the factory at work on my lunch breaks which is probably about a 2 mile walk so I think I’d just like to hit the treadmill at the gym for a half an hour or so after work just to get a little more exercise in. I’d like to try to stay in shape as much as possible so I don’t have as much work to do after I have the baby! That is the plan so hopefully now that I’ve shared it with all of you that means I will be more likely to follow through with it. Make me feel guilty and ask me if I’m exercising please!! I need that!
