I feel farther along then I am

I'm 11 weeks today, but feel about 16 weeks along. It probably has to do with the fact that we announced to family at 9 weeks. We had to tell them since we are bailing on the family cruise due to the Zika virus - BUMMER!! I was really looking forward to a week of lazing around (well, as much lazing as I can do with a 2 year old!). Speaking of little M, he's starting running away from me in public which has caused a few heart-stopping moments in parking lots. I can't get through to him how dangerous it is, and I'm really hoping he grows out of it before I'm too big to chase him! He consistently says he wants a baby sister, and he thinks we should name her "ABCs." Oh I love that little boy!!
I'm showing earlier (although I think it's bloating) and my digestive system feels much slower this time around, which is kind of miserable. The hubs says I'm sicker too, although I remember it being bad with M. I admit, this time sugar and even water make me feel completely revolted, which seems new. Fighting hard to get enough liquids. M is in a phase where he likes me to kiss his fingers at bedtime. That's bearable, but he then starts cramming them in my mouth, and....ugh....bad timing.
I've been consistent with about 3 Orange Theory workouts/week. They are pretty challenging and I want to take them at a pace I'm comfortable with, so I told my coach that I'm dealing with some "medical issues" so that he would back off. I feel a little guilty about that one, but I'm not ready to announce to the world and it's kind of true. When I get a bit further along I'm going to throw in some Pure Barre again - really the best prenatal workout!!
Husband's 40th is coming soon - I'm so excited but need to get busy planning. We're doing a Vegas weekend with his buddies from out of state. I will be the boring one in the group, but luckily pregnancy can't keep me from the craps table :) I'm trying Rent the Runway for the first time to get some amazing dresses for the trip, and it's been fun researching what designs might hide, flatter, or compress a baby bump.
