204 More Days!

I'm 11 weeks today! Mostly excited because that means I'm almost through the first trimester. I'm looking forward to getting some energy back and feeling like myself again. The best thing ever is the arrival of THIS:


My Snoogle!
Getting comfortable at night is already an impossibility and I know as my tummy grows, it's only going to get harder.
(Tiny insight into the night of a pregnant lady: stayed up "late" and fell asleep by 10:30ish. Woke up at 3am to pee; also had an excruciating headache - so bad I took Tylenol, which I refrain from if at all possible. Then tossed & turned, trying not to wake my husband, for over an hour. Fell back to sleep after 4am. Only one pee break was a gift, I guess. I'm lucky to have such a sweet, understanding bedmate!)
This week we discovered I can't stand the smell of garlic. I still don't have the dreaded morning sickness so I sorta feel like I shouldn't complain about the symptoms I do have, but man! I basically feel like I was hit by a truck, all the time. Daily headaches on top of sheer exhaustion and a general 'blah' feeling. Sleeping is my best friend and difficult to get. Adam can testify to some SLIGHT;) moodiness as well.
But it truly is the best reason to feel like crap :)

We've started some baby steps (see what I did there?) towards getting ready for baby. I got some maternity clothes (!) (more on that later) and we opened a bank account for Lil Trout. My mom is trying to plan my baby shower already! Five more weeks until we find out boots or bows and we can't wait!
