I was able to tell my BFF this week! It always feels so much better when I don't have to keep these secrets with her anymore. We've been best friends since kindergarten so we tell each other everything, I mean EVERYTHING and along with Aaron she's usually the person I'm on the phone with the instant something happens. So having to wait those 5 or 6 weeks is pure torture! But the secrets out so I can finally talk about anything and everything with her. AND I'll be going out to see her cute, little family in just TWO short weeks. I can't wait to meet Miss Harper and squeeze those chubby those and cuddle that newborn smell. If I weren't already pregnant, I'm sure I'd have instant baby fever the second I walk into their house :)
I'm definitely starting to feel MUCH better. I'm trying to taper off eating and see if I'm still ok. I usually leave a granola bar on the nightstand just in case. Based on the scale at the gym, I've gained 2-3 pounds already. I'm trying not to focus on the numbers this time around since I gained so much in water weight the last time around it wasn't even really all that accurate towards the end.
The bump is definitely starting to show I feel. Again, bigger at the end of the day. Thankfully, I only have four more work days where I have to come up with an outfit where you can't tell :)
Speaking of work, I told my boss this week. Definitely earlier than planned, but we were talking about my tailored work arrangement which needs to be renewed next week and I decided to just tell him. If something happened at this point, I'd probably tell him anyhow since I'd take time off work. He was so excited for us and thought the age difference would be perfect. Now I just have one more week and I can tell everyone else!
No real worries this week (yay!). Although, I feel like I've been having braxton hicks contractions every once in a while. They don't last long, but it seems like that's what they feel like. I googled it (oh, Dr. Google) and it sounds like it can be common for people to notice them this early in their second pregnancies because your uterus is expanding to accommodate the baby growing and it can cause that "contraction" type feeling. I try to just rest and drink extra water when I notice it.
Also, at 11 weeks, baby is the size of a lime. Ummm…woah. That seems HUGE compared to everything else thus far.
On a side note, Zoe is getting reaping the benefits of a younger sibling already and getting spoiled in the process. Beeba decided that to "thank" us for producing her second grandchild, she'd get Zoe a cozi coop car. Then she also "needed" a tricycle as well. I have no doubt Zoe will love both. Our neighbors have the car and Zoe was not happy when she had to get out (we're working on sharing - especially what's not ours). And the bike will for sure be a hit. She had a complete meltdown in REI when I made her get off the bike we rode around the store.
