12 weeks!

 

12 weeks pregnant!!

 

 How far along: 12 weeks
 

Baby Growth: "Clover" is about 2 inches long and weighs about half an ounce! Reflexes are starting to happen and if I were to mess my belly where baby is he or she would probably squirm in response. He or she can open and close fingers and hands! "Clover" even looks like a tiny human now!!! woohoo!
   

My Symptoms: I've  still been feeling relatively good lately! Just have to eat a million times a day!

I'm starting to get more energy, but still get tired easily.

I really thought and hoped I would be having cravings by now! Totally not! What is wrong with me? I completely still NEVER want anything. I mean I'm normally starving all the time and need to find food like now and its so difficult because everything sounds gross still. Normally the only thing that sounds good is like fast food and even then not all of it sounds good. So its still a struggle in the food department!
 

Gender:  I so think its a girl now.

 

Weight gain:  NONE!

 

Maternity clothes: Here and there still. I mean my belly definitely sticks way out by the end of the day so its more comfortable to wear maternity pants or shorts instead of regular ones. If I could I would wear leggings or pajamas all the time! I can't wait for the weather to get cooler to have a reason to wear leggings and boots everyday :) We had some cooler weather this week which was such a teaser, but who cares I still pulled out my boots for a day :) 

 

Stretch marks: No

 

Belly button in or out: In

 

Sleep: Still sleeping great! Most nights anyway

 

Best moment this week: Had a doctors appointment Thursday where I thought I would be having my NT ultrasound along with talking to the ob coordinator person to review history and whatnot. Also knew I would be having some blood work done. However, since I have had an early ultrasound and it measured 3 days behind what my period says we cancelled the ultrasound for Thursday and have one scheduled for this coming Friday the 5th! Anyway the good part of this was we did listen to the heartbeat on the Doppler. Found it very quickly and my Dr. said it was between 160-170 which is why I'm thinking girl :)

 

Worst moment this week: Find out I was not having an ultrasound, but it was being replaced with a pap smear? ughh so not cool! Not to mention it started getting warm again outside. BRING BACK COOLER WEATHER! WERE I'M READY FOR FALL!

 

Miss anything:  Having food I'm excited to eat!

Movement: nope, but really wish it would come soon!

 

Cravings: Nope :(

 

Queasy or sick: queasy if I don't eat still!

 

Questions/Concerns: none at the moment

 

Looking forward to:  Our ultrasound on Friday! Hoping they will let us sneak a peek between the legs! I know it would still be very early, but a good bit of my friends were told with a certain percentage of what the gender was at this appointment and had it confirmed a few weeks later! We also have our gender scan on the 19th and our reveal party that night! So can't wait to find out and start the nursery!
