Baby Update

12 Weeks

IMG_2069Baby is the size of a plum peach! It was supposed to be a plum, but the plums at the commissary were small! And so were the peaches, for that matter, so there’s my 2.1″ long peach of a baby. He/she weighs about half an ounce right now, and his/her digestive system is beginning to work.
How far along: 12 weeks
Gender: I have been finding gray hairs left and right. 😦 So now I’m really leaning toward girl, haha.
Weight gain: None since last week, so who knows.
Symptoms: Only one day of vomiting, and it was my fault: once again I didn’t eat when I was hungry. I’ve been gagging every morning, as usual, but the nausea wasn’t as bad. I started getting some headaches this week, but they weren’t too bad. Back pain has still been bothering me, but not enough to take any Tylenol.
Maternity clothes: Just one day on the weekend…I tried out the maternity yoga pants, but they seem just like my other yoga pants, haha.
Stretch marks: No
Belly button in or out: in
Sleep: totally fine..except for my middle-of-the-night potty trips
Best moment this week: Making my announcement at work! I am so bad at keeping secrets…
Miss anything: I still miss eating normally. I get full really quickly, and when I try to eat a “normal” amount, I feel yucky. But the biggest thing I miss? Andrew. He left for a TDY in Iceland midweek and will be gone for about a month.
Movement: not yet
Cravings: Combos… I had them for a snack one day, and then for breakfast the next morning, haha
Looking forward to: Announcing our big news on Mother’s Day next weekend!
IMG_2046Any bigger? I definitely can’t “suck it in” anymore like I used to. But I still mostly just feel fat. I’m sure I’ll regret saying this, but I’m looking forward to “looking pregnant.”
