We've made it to 12 weeks! Time is starting to feel like it's speeding up a bit so I think it's time to start my bi-weekly questionnaires. I love looking back to see where I was at the same points with Kendall and Charlie so I figured why not do it for this pregnancy as well :)
How Many Weeks? 12 weeks
Size of Baby? The size of a lime - From crown to rump, the baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long and weighs half an ounce
Showing? I think so but with baggy shirts probably not to the people that don't know. I have gave in to maternity pants last week and I'm looking forward to cold weather so I can use some of my favorite maternity sweaters I kept.
Symptoms? Yup. Exhaustion, nausea (one and off luckily), highly sensitive "dog" nose, sore boobs and much more frequent bathroom trips.
Sleep? Like a rock outside of my few bathroom wake-up calls a night
Miss Anything? On a few of the hot days, and seeing other people drinking it, white wine looked like heaven. Although smelling it kicked me right back out of that.
Movement? There has been a few times where I thought I may have felt a "flutter" movement but I wouldn't be surprised if that was just phantom kicks from memory.
Food Cravings? Milk. Chocolate Milk. Ice cream. Yogurt. Cheese. Baby wants calcium!
Anything making you queasy or sick? Lot of smells. Not eating soon enough. Eating too much. Not getting a billion hours of sleep a night. If 10 pm hits and I'm not in bed yet I take a pretty harsh downward turn.
Gender Prediction? No clue and SO happy that my IPs don't want to know :)
Recent Doctors Appointment? Today! We got to meet our official doctor now that we have been released from the clinic. She is really wonderful and reminds me a lot of my Kaiser OB (who I adore!) so that made the appointment all that much better. Everything looks right on track and healthy as can be. We go for the NT scan on Friday then have another break between appointments.
Best IP moment? This answer probably won't change much, but seeing/hearing their reaction to the ultrasound. Getting to see them twice this week is pretty awesome too :)
Most asked question? "Is it weird feeling growing a baby that isn't mine?" Answer - not really. If it weren't for the symptoms of pregnancy I would honestly forget that I was pregnant. We aren't talking baby names or nursery design etc. You spend so much time talking about your new baby-to-be when you are expecting without even realizing it. There is none of that in our house other than the kids occasionally asking to "see" the baby in my belly. I'm still trying to figure out how to react to the "congratulations" reactions from people that don't know it's not ours.
12 week belly buddy!

Nesting? I am weird and tend to go through that nesting bug in my first trimester. Which doesn't help my tiredness and sickness when I'm over doing it. But in the last few weeks we have completely re-done both kids rooms, cleaned out every drawer/cabinet/cubby, reorganized closets, gotten some new furniture, hung new art and cleaned like crazy. Now what will I do?
