12 weeks!



Not really showing yet, but I feel like my whole middle is just widening as a whole, not forming a bump.



How far along?   12 weeks

Total weight gain:   +6.

Maternity clothes?   Don’t have any yet. My shirts still fit perfectly fine, but I am in dire need of maternity jeans. My pants are not comfortable. Planning to hit up the Forever 21 maternity section very soon.

Stretch marks?   No stretch marks to be seen

Sleep:  Sleep has been kind of rough lately, unfortunately. We did choose to sleep on the living room floor for 3 nights straight for fun, so that may have been a culprit…. But I wake up a lot with aches and pains. Hopefully this will improve sooner than later.  

Best moment this week:   Getting a baby bouncer from my parents for Christmas. Yes, I cried. Haha I cried before I even opened it I was so excited. Now we have a bouncer and a crib for the bedroom.

Miss Anything?    Cold deli sandwiches, and a tough butt kicking workout.

Movement:   Not yet, although I think the baby might have moved today because I have a bit of rib pain and I’ve had more frequent trips to the bathroom.

Food cravings:   Root beer and cottage cheese, and garlic bread.

Anything making you queasy or sick:   Mornings. I feel pretty gross when I wake up early. Also, the smell or talk of fast food.

Gender:   Unknown as of now. Wish we knew so I could go shopping! There’s been so many great clothing sales online.

Labor Signs:   None at all.

Symptoms:   Mostly being short of breath in the mornings. I have to sit down a lot and can’t move around a lot or I start huffing and puffing. It gets much better by the afternoon.

Belly Button in or out?   It’s an “innie”

Wedding rings on or off?   On! I love my wedding ring

Mood:   Very much happy. I love this baby and am so anxious for July to get here.

Looking forward to:   Passing the first trimester mark, and hearing the heartbeat again at our next appointment.  It’s always a good feeling to be told that the baby is doing well.
