12 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights: Seeing a picture of the baby this week. It continues to amaze me how much it has grown!

How Far Along: 12 Weeks
Size of Baby: 2.5 inches and half an ounce - the size of a plum

Maternity Clothes: Yes, I have given in. Last week it got to the point where I could either no longer button my shorts or if I could it was very uncomfortable! So I am now wearing either maternity shorts, regular shorts that are stretchy, or regular shorts unbuttoned with my new bellyband. I'm still fine with my regular shirts, although I have found some cute maternity shirts that I may go ahead and start wearing since they are longer and cover up that elastic band around the waist of the maternity shorts.

Gender: Still waiting. Maybe we will know something more in a few days with the detailed sonogram. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. It still seems so early to know.

Movement: Haven't felt any yet. We saw it moving all around during the sonogram though.

What I Miss: Nothing. Loving it!

Sleep: Still getting used to sleeping on my side. I tend to toss and turn a bit trying to get comfortable. Other than that, all is well.

Symptoms: I actually got sick for the very first time this week during the pregnancy. I think I must have just eaten too much popcorn at the movie theater and the baby just didn't like it.

Cravings: Nothing this week

Emotions: Super happy and excited!!!

Best Moment of the Week: Getting a good report from the doctor and seeing our baby - head, body, arms, and legs. It is so cute!

What I Look Forward To: Seeing the baby again in 2 days for our next sonogram!
