That's not a baby bump, it's called too much carbs

So, I am currently at 11 weeks and 4 days and according to my What to Expect i-phone app, the baby is the size of a large plum, in case you were wondering.

At this point I am not supposed to really be showing yet, but pants are definitely tighter and my tummy is not looking as flat as it used too (not that it ever was all that flat). I really think this has more to do with my changed eating habits more than anything. Carbs and comfort food seem to be the only things that don't make me want to puke when I think about food. I have been eating more rice, bread and crackers in the last 4-6 weeks than I did for most of the year. Plus I am too damn tired to exercise. I just want to sleep and lay on the couch.

I know how important exercise is and I am usually pretty good about getting myself to a yoga class, for a hike or something besides being a loaf, but man these days it's hard to even get to work. I just have to push myself to do it. I should probably join some kind of prenatal yoga class, that would force me to do something.

The fact that I am pregnant and having a baby has not sunk in yet. I guess because it's still early. And that I feel too nauseous and tired to care. I am guessing once I start showing things will feel more real. For now, it's just taking things day to day, and hoping it won't be the day I puke.

Next appointment, January 12 and I get to hear the baby's heart beat! Maybe that will make things more real. Oh and by the way, due date is July 14, the day after my birthday!
