12 Weeks

And we have a bump folks!!  Not just a little "oh man I feel full" stomach, but a full on, oh yeah she is definitely pregnant!  I'm not entirely sure exactly when it came on, but one night this week it was highly obvious!  So much so 2 co-workers commented this week (they were co-workers who already knew I was pregnant, but still!). And I didn't even fully realize the extent of the bump until I looked at the picture from today!  Whoa mama...literally!

While I absolutely love it (if you're going to be pregnant and feel pregnant, might as well have the bump to show for it right!?), I'm pretty sure I'm showing way more than anyone I've known at this point.  So not sure what is in store for the future, but we will just have to wait and see!

And yes, this is what I call the "cheater board"...just erase the second 1 from 11, add a 2, and now you're at 12 weeks with everything else the same.  I will have a new Christmas themed board for next week!

How Far Along? 12 weeks

How Big is Baby? The size of a prune

Weight Gain?  -3 this week, so +6 total. This whole weight thing doesn't make any sense for me...my belly is noticably bigger in the last week, and yet I lost weight. But I'll take it : )

 

Workouts this Week: The nausea hit full force again, so I only managed to squeeze in a 45 minute treadmill walk/run session (which I LOVED!!), and two very short runs (as in about 5 minutes each).

 

Maternity Clothes?  Still sticking to the good ole comfy clothes, leggings, and occasionally the maternity skinnies.

Belly Button (in or out)? In
 

Sleep: Bedtime has been about 8:30 pretty much every night, partly because I'm super tired, and partly because I can't feel the nausea if I'm sleeping! I'm sleeping well with the exception of waking up to pee, and now my hips and thighs are completely falling asleep and numb (which has NEVER happened before!).
 

Cravings: No real cravings this week since I've been so nauseous...but my go-to's have been saltines, buttered ezekiel bread, and rice noodles with light butter and sprinkling of parmesean cheese.
 

Aversions: Pretty much everything this week, but especially chicken breast, ground beef, steak, any meat (those will really get me gagging if I think too much about them!).

 

What I Missed: My time away from constant nausea and enjoying food once again

.

Symptoms: Nausea is back full force. So much so, I can't really even think of any other symptom going on! Except the crazy acne on my chin and nose...oh yea, that hit hard this week too!

 

Movement: Not yet.
 

Gender Prediction:*Dana- BOY...GIRL...BOY (yeah, I've been waivering a lot this week on this one!) *Jon- GIRL (he's sticking to it!).

Best Moment of the Week:  Relaxing over the weekend with Jonny, watching some classic Christmas movies, some not so classic ones, and some musical holiday shows. Oh how I love Christmas time!
 

Worst Moment of the Week: Nausea, nausea, nausea!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing my sister and her hubby in 3 days!!! And getting to spend an entire week with them (with the exception of me working every day but one while they are here)!!
