12 Weeks

 I'm so thankful for this new life God has placed into our family!!

 

How far along: 12 weeks

Size of baby: Peach- 3 inches long

 

Maternity Clothes: Maternity jeans!! I have a pair of maternity shorts but haven't worn then yet. I still wear a few regular shirts, but I usually have to wear a long shirt underneath so it is long enough to cover up the little belly.

Movement: None yet, but I can't wait.

Sleep: I tend to have heartburn very often before bed. I usually keep Tums on my side table! I am just very tired lately. I enjoy sleeping, but am awakened each morning by a sweet little boy. I have tried to start taking naps when I can in the afternoon when Gus naps.

Symptoms:  My all-day nausea has subsided a lot!! (not so good for the scale :)). I have been having some back pain and abdominal soreness.

Food cravings/aversions:  Since I have felt nausea so much during this pregnancy, I haven't had a whole lot of cravings. I have wanted a lot of ice cream bars. A few weeks ago I wanted peanut butter cookies, and last week I wanted strawberry cake. A few weeks after I found out I was pregnant, my tastes had changed so much I didn't even want Dr. Pepper. (I know- emergency!!) I really don't want meat much at all. One strange thing is I haven't really craved chips and fast food like I did with Gus. Maybe it is because it is still pretty early.

What I am looking forward to: I cannot wait to find out if it is a girl or boy and have another sonogram. I absolutely love hearing the precious baby's heartbeat!


Very soon- I'm going to do a post just about this little man- He's just so cute and doing new things every day!!
