12 Weeks

No picture this week. . .I forgot.  We'll start that next week.

•How far along are you? 12 weeks

•How big is baby?:   From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

•Maternity clothes: Not yet.  Although I have had to whip out the belly bands when I wear certain work pants that sit on my waist instead of my hips and when I wear my jeans it's more comfortable to wear a rubberband, than it is to button them (although for the record, I can still button them).  With Em, I didn't wear maternity clothes until I was around 20 weeks.  I definitely don't think I'll make it that long this time - at least for comfort's sake.

•Gender:  Won't find out for several more weeks.  I'm still thinking boy and Shawn is thinking girl.

•Sleep?: Still sleeping good (besides having to get up 2-3 times nightly to go to the bathroom).

•Best moment this week?: Going to my dr. appt and hearing the hearbeat on the doppler!!  Also, finally telling everyone at work that I'm preggo.  I was worried my stomach would give me away soon.

•Movement?: Not yet.  I didn't feel Em until I was 20 weeks.  I'm hoping it's not that long this time.

•Food cravings?:  Now that my appetite is back almost everything sounds good.

•Food aversions?: Nothing really

•What I miss: Maybe the occasional glass of wine.  I miss it most during the holidays when we're at family dinners and everyone else is drinking.  And diet cokes (although I've helped myself to many more of these than I did when I was preggo with Em).

•Symptoms: Just the frequent nightly trips to the potty.  The nausea has subsided for the most part (although I've been nauseous the last 3 mornings).  Still a little more tired than normal, but nothing like it has been.  Really thirsty all the time.

 •Milestone: Being more than a 1/4 of the way done and being so close to the end of the first trimester!
