12 weeks! (+2 days)

I can already tell that these updates won't be as frequent as they were the 1st time around. Back then (last year, haha) I sat at a computer for 8 hours a day....now I usually only get online from my Kindle Fire and I can't update from there....but anyway, we are no less excited this time around and I will update when possible.

How far along? 12 weeks. I thought I would feel more reassured at this point, but then I have been sick and medicating myself for a week now, and that makes me nervous. I HATE to take medicine while I'm pregnant. But...I did see my OB late last week and everything was okay at that time. I need ultrasounds weekly. I am spoiled to having them every 10 days at my fertility clinic.
Total weight gain/loss: +3. I will have to go back and look, but I think I was up like 10 at this point last time. And I weighed the same when I got pregnant this time as I did last time. BUT, I have been sick for a week and my appetite hasn't been great. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

Maternity clothes? No tops. I'll be honest, I have worn some maternity jeans a few times because my normal jeans are just uncomfortable. But I take 2 steps and pull them up. Clothes just aren't my friend right now. And I hate the bella band. HATE it. Will not wear that stupid stupid thing.

Stretch marks? Not so far, unless they are hiding behind the ones from last time. Lol.

Best moment this week: I did get to hear the heartbeat so that was nice, but other than that this week has been terrible.

Miss Anything? Nope. Well, I guess softball because I would be playing right now otherwise.

Movement: No. I didn't feel Isabel until like 22 weeks because I had an anterior placenta. Not sure what to expect this time.


Food cravings: This week, nothing. But before that Chinese. Or pretty much anything bad for me.
Anything making you queasy or sick: I have been coughing so much that it is making me gag, but I don't think that is pregnancy related. I haven't had morning sickness at all.

Have you started to show yet: I'm in the lumpy stage. Like where you can tell my belly is bigger but not necessarily that I'm pregnant. Maternitly clothes look stupid and regular clothes look stupid. I don't want to rush this at all but at the same time I am ready to just look pregnant and wear the clothes to go with it.
Gender: ???? I think it's a girl just based on the fact that my pregnancy symptoms/cravings etc. have been identical to my pregnancy with Isabel. And because I know roughly 40 women having babies right now and like 37 of them are girls.
Labor Signs: Nope.

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On for now.


Mood: Other than being sick and cranky because of that, I am good. I always worry, but that's just how it goes for me. The worries never stop.

(hoping to post pictures at the next update...whenever that is) :)
