Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 12 weeks 2 days

Size of baby: According to babycenter, the baby is the size of a lime this week

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I have lost 3 lbs since I found out I was pregnant- it was actually 5, but I have gained 2 back

Maternity Clothes: 4th pregnancy/ 2nd baby means mostly maternity.  I can still wear some pre-pregnancy pants unbuttoned, with a bellyband, or with a hair elastic

Gender: I think a boy- only a man could make a woman this sick!  lol  We find out the week of Thanksgiving.

Movement: No movement, but the dr said by my 16 weeks appointment I should be feeling something

What I miss: Being able to pick Kaitlyn up- she weighs right at 30lbs, so I am not suppose to pick her up and carry her

Sleep: I sleep a few hours each night. I wake up on the nose in the 1:00 hour each night starving! I try to go back to sleep, but sometimes I have to give in and eat something!

Symptoms: I was horribly nauseous for 6 weeks thanks to the progesterone supplements and pregnancy in general- hence the 5lbs lost.  I am off the supplements now and feeling much better.  Things in the bathroom area are getting better too!  Progesterone cause constipation.... bad constipation! 

Best Moment this week: Finding out my hemorrhage had re-absorbed and that I could come off the progesterone!  Will was happy to hear I was off pelvic rest LOL

What I am looking forward to: feeling the baby move and my next appointment in 4 weeks- I was nice going every other week, but I am glad to have a normal pregnancy now. It's been a long road to get here, but worth the wait :-)  Please continue to keep me in your prayers though- I can not help but still be a little nervous!

Here is a photo from my ultrasound yesterday- my little lime :-)
