Yes! 11 weeks as of Monday January 30th, and only 199 days left to go as of today.
I wanted to do an 11 week photo this week, but for a couple of reasons I've decided not to.
First of all, I am making a new chalkboard, so it will be all set to be written on by next Monday.
And speaking of next Monday, that will be my second OB appt...and my 12 week mark. This will be a huge day for me. As many know, last Thursday I got into an 8 car pile up on the freeway on the way to work. I got rear-ended and then pushed into the car in front of me. My airbag deployed, which was terrifying. I sprained my wrist, got some burns, bumps, and bruises. Went to the ER and they said I was fine, but wouldn't do an ultrasound on me because it wasn't indicated. No cramping, abdominal pain, or bleeding. They tried to listen to fetal heart tones, but I knew that was going to be impossible because they had a crappy doppler.
I called my OB, and he said since I was a little over 10 weeks at the time, my uterus was still in the pelvic area and should be well protected. He figured that there was a very low possibility of anything bad happening. But if something were to happen, there would be nothing we could do. So since that day, I check every day for fading pregnancy symptoms (didn't have too many to begin with) or check for bleeding. It's hard to concentrate on anything at home or at work because my mind is elsewhere. But I'm trying to stay positive and take comfort in the fact that I am still tired, that I do get nauseated, and that I haven't been cramping or bleeding. It's just so hard. I want Monday to be here already so that I can just know what's going on. I don't think they will do an ultrasound, but given the accident and all my worry, I'm hoping I can convince the doc to do it. "/
So until I found out that baby is ok, no photos just yet.
Found out this week that my car is officially totalled. Went to the repair shop yesterday, got my stuff out of my car, and released it to the insurance company. Now I'm just waiting on them to tell me what are the next steps.
But this also means that I get my brand-new mom car that I've been planning on getting earlier! Since hubby is a Hyundai tech and we both really love the product, I'm looking at their crossovers (small SUVS).
I'm debating between two:
The smaller Tuscon. More gas and commuter friendly, but has pretty good car and trunk space. Plus, it's a cuter body style. :)
Then there's the medium-sized Santa Fe. Larger vehicle, more trunk space, probably roomier for a car seat in the back. Slightly lower gas mileage, but I may be able to get a smoking deal from one of hubby's car salesman friends because a new body style is coming out later this year.
So we will see...hopefully I can start really looking next week once I get more details on what's going on. What do you think I should get?!
