12 weeks 3 days

BABY LONG

How far along? 12 Weeks 3 Days

Total weight gain/loss: + 3 pounds (total)

Sleep: All the time.  I am soooo tired!  I have never been so tired no matter how much I sleep in my entire life. 

Interesting Dreams: I have had dreams about being a man.  About having a baby girl, about escaping wintery fortresses.  You name it, I have probably dreamed it.  

Best moment this week:  Yesterday we got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!!  Best moment by far!  It made everything so much more real.  Also I am healthy and the doctor told me to put on more weight, haha.

Movement: Not yet

Symptoms: FATIGUE! I am nauseated most of the time.  I am hungry most of the time.  I gag just about every time I brush my teeth.  

 Food cravings: Cheese sandwiches.  I have eaten one practically everyday.  It just always sounds good.  Also fried eggs and toast.  I love love love fried eggs and toast. 

Food aversions: Random things.  I hate smelling garlic.  I can smell it ten feet away in a cupboard. 

Gender: Girl [=

 
Labor Signs: n/a

Belly Button in/ out: in

What I miss: SUSHI.  I WANT SUSHI.  And soft cheeses.  Also being able to eat deli meat without stressing about making sure it got hot enough.  Fortunately the NP said that I don't need to stress too much about the deli meat as long as I am not eating tons of it all of the time. Also she said that I can eat my eggs a little runny!  That made me so happy.

What I am looking forward to: No longer feeling so sick and tired all of the time.  

Weekly Wisdom: Eat often.  If you keep your stomach with some food in it you just don't feel as bad. 

 
Milestones: I already mentioned it, but we heard the baby's heartbeat!  The baby is about the size of a lime (silly fruit comparisons...but it works I guess). [=

Oh and by the way I am pregnant if you didn't already guess...
