Week 12

Week 12

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +5

Maternity Clothes: Regular clothes for now. But, I did try on a pair of maternity pants that a friend gave me.  I was in heaven.  I did cry because they fit and I felt that it was too soon for them to fit.  But, I didn’t want to take them off.  I will say that I am 5’0 and have a small torso, so I had a feeling that I would be out of my normal clothes rather quickly.

Gender: Our sono tech told us what she thought baby H was this week…we’re keeping it a secret until our gender reveal.  Plus, we know that it could change by our next appointment when things are more developed.  But she was so confident that she gave us a little blue or pink beanie for the bebe.

Movement: No movement. It’s too early.

Cravings: Carbs of course.  Also, drinks with a lot of ice.

Aversions: Ice cream, vegetables, sweets.

Symptoms: Still exhausted.  Sick all night.  I need new bras but don’t want to buy them.  Also, enjoying headaches and constipation.

Labor Signs: None. WAY too early.

What I Miss: Nothing this week.

What I’m Looking Forward To: The second trimester.

Best Moment This Week: Hearing that everything was still on track with baby H. S/He was measuring a little ahead at this appointment, heart rate was in the 160’s and was moving like crazy.  The little one is also very stubborn because S/he would not uncross it’s little legs so we could sneak a peek.

Thoughts:  Relief.  This little one is a miracle.  I can’t explain the joy I feel after hearing that all looks good.  I sobbed like a baby during our sono this week.  Everything I was feeling came pouring out.  I know that my little angels are watching over this baby. I feel blessed. 

This is my first bump picture.  Hubs completely missed my face, guess I should have check after he took the picture.  Oh well, you get the gist…
