12 Weeks Pregnant

How far along? 12 Weeks - We are out of the 1st Trimester!

Size of Baby: Plum (Uterus is the size of a softball)

Waist: 32 in

Total weight gain: 1.5 pounds since last week. Back to my pre-pregnancy weight!

Maternity clothes? Not yet. My skinny jeans did not fit the other day, so I had to use the rubber band trick.

Stretch marks? Nope. Still using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. I need to be better about putting it on every night.

Sleep: Still the same. Sometimes its good, sometimes not so much. 

Best moment this week:  The doctor's appointment and hearing the heartbeat for the first time!

Miss anything? No.

Movement: No. Too early.

Food cravings: Still liking my goldfish.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really. Some food smells are not pleasant.

Gender: Do not know yet. Hopefully will find out next week!

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Like I mentioned in my last post, nausea came back with a vengeance! I was pretty much nauseous all day, everyday. One day at work it got so bad, I had to stop and go lay on the couch. Many times I get extremely nauseous, but also extremely hungry at the same time. That is no fun! Around dinner time, I have a hard time wanting to eat anything. Nothing sounded good at eat. Let me tell you, being nauseous makes it hard to plan my lunch!

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy. Yesterday morning I did have a moody episode. Sorry Todd!

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender and the rest of the results from the blood tests.

Fact: The eyes are now positioned in front of its face, and its hears are in position on the sides of its head. Most notable, reflexes have begun! Your little one's mouth is making sucking movements, his eye muscles clench, his toes curl, fingers and hands open and close, and he may even begin to suck his thumb. Though he is still too little for you to feel, he can feel you. If you were to apply pressure to your abdomen, your baby would squirm in response! (-Everyday Family)

P.S. These pictures really show off the baby bump! I don't realize how big it is until I see pictures. Also, not sure why these pictures are such bad quality...and why it looks like I'm biting my lip in both. Oh well!
