Baby #3 Week 12

Yay! The first trimeseter is almost over! Hopefully that means that morning all day sickness will soon be gone! We're getting ready to announce to the world that we're having a baby! We probably would have done it sooner but we just haven't had a chance to take our "announcement" photo. This week has been incredibly busy and I'm so ready for things to calm down! 

We went to a wedding in Southport and Jay's cousin totally called me out about being pregnant in front of a ton of their friends at the rehearsal dinner. He commented that I wasn't drinking very much of my "gin and tonic". I shot him a look and told his wife to tell him to shhh! I told her (in private) that we were pregnant but not telling anyone and to let him know so that he didn't say anything during the wedding the following night. 

Pregnancy Highlights:

Today's Date: Friday, October, 2013

How Far Along: 12 weeks

Size of baby: The size of a plum

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 4 lbs from pre pregnancy

Maternity Clothes: Yes for all bottoms. I can still wear dresses. I've brought out some maternity tops even though I don't really need them. They are good at covering these giant maternity waste bands though! 

Gender: Still thinking boy

Movement:  Not yet! But my stomach is getting harder

Sleep: I'm still soooo tired

What I miss: Eating good food

Cravings: Anything crunchy. Soft foods and my stomach do not agree.

Symptoms: Morning, afternoon, and evening sickness. I feel sick a lot! My nose is like a hound-dog! I think I get sick because my sense of smell is soooo strong. Any odd smell sets my stomach off. Eating at McDonald's was too much for me! 

Best Moment this week: The anticipation of getting to tell everyone. 

your baby's the size of a plum!

The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. Now that she's got pretty much all her parts, her main job is to keep on growing.
