12 Week Update

This week, Button is the size of a: plum!

How far along? 12 weeks

Due date: August 26, 2013

Total weight gain/loss: 5 pounds lost...but I look bigger…hmmm.  My tummy was a LOT flatter than this!!  And my pants/skirts don't fit. 

Maternity clothes? Nope.  But really loose dresses and skirts because tight things are uncomfortable.  Bras are the WORST.

Sleep:  Not too shabby!

Best moment this week: Seeing baby Button dance on the ultrasound!!!  Mind. Blown.

Movement: can’t feel a thing even though apparently Button is practicing his/her acrobatics

Food cravings: salty things.  Bacon.  Cheese enchiladas.  One hard shell taco, one small red burrito, and a kid sized Mr. Pibb from Of the Taco.

Food aversions:  EVERYTHING.  When did everything start tasting like toenail flavored disgustingness?


Symptoms: Nausea; sore boobies, peeing like crazy, emotional, shooting pains down there (don’t worry, Dr. said it’s normal), and excessive tooting.


Gender: Haven’t the foggiest but I keep saying him.


Labor Signs: Thank goodness no!


Belly Button in or out?  My father cut my umbilical cord funny so it’s always been half in/half out.  No Change! 


Feeling toward Pregnancy: Was feeling a little over it/in disbelief until I saw Button dance.  Now I’m feeling like this is really real and I’m excited!


What I miss: Being able to eat what I wanted when I wanted without fear of nauseous repercussions.  


What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex of this baby!  Moving into the supposed much easier second trimester.


Milestones: Baby’s first home video.  =)

Daddy says:  "Baby likes to dance!"

Emotions

Apparently one of the most common pregnancy symptoms is mood swings...Hallmark commercials, dramatic television, acts of kindness, and sometimes even homework are proving this symptom true for me.

Me (shouting to my husband in another room): I love watching Toddlers and Tiaras because of all the dysfunction.

Hubby: If you push pause and wait for me, I can come in there and watch it with you.

Me: sniffle...sniffle...TEARS.

Hubby: Baby?

Me (in between sniffles): That was...so...sweet.

Hubby:  haha...are you joking right now?  (comes into room)

Me (still crying):  sniff...no.

Hubby:...wow...you are really...pregnant...
