How far along? 12
weeks
Total weight gain: Still only about 4 pounds
Maternity clothes?
No, although flowy Lululemon tops and leggings are my best friend to hide this
“awkward” stage of pregnancy where I just look fat.
Stretch marks? No,
but I just ordered my first tube of Mustela to fend them off!
Have you told friends and family yet? Not everyone knows yet. We wanted to have our first
ultrasound and see that everything is going okay before we spilled the beans to
everyone. Our parents know though.
Sleep: Good, still
peeing about 3 times a night. Oh and so thirsty at night!
Best moment this week:
I’m just feeling really good this week! Nothing exciting to report though.
Miss anything? Ummm
its football season and I can’t have beer. In fact, we are going to Monday
night football on Sept 24th (go Packers!) and I can’t get a beer at
the game! And hockey season will probably be locked out (much to my husband’s
disappointment) although it’s good for me as hockey without a beer in hand,
just isn’t cool.
Movement: None yet,
but I am seriously so excited for that. Hopefully I only have to wait another
month or so.
Food Cravings: Macintosh
apples.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not really, I just wake up feeling a bit hungover
actually. As soon as I eat I feel better
Have you started to show yet? I asked my husband at Costco this week if he thought I looked pregnant
or just fat. He informed me that to other people I probably just look like I
ate too many donuts! I’ll be so happy when I actually have a big bump and don’t
just look awkward.
Gender prediction:
I’ve been reading gender “myths” this week and heard that you feel sicker when
you’re carrying a girl because of the increased estrogen in your body so I
still think we’re having a boy.
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out?
In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time: The moodiness only appeared between the 6th
and 8th weeks (thank goodness for my husband) so I would have to say
that I’m just super happy all the time.
Looking forward to:
Our first ultrasound on Friday!
My hubby did the chalkboard this week. What an awesome job
he did! This week I have just felt super anxious for our ultrasound next
Friday. Because I have felt few pregnancy symptoms (apart from my monster
boobs) I just want to be reassured that everything is progressing nicely and
nothing is wrong. I am naturally a high stress person so I really should quit
googling horror stories and such about having no pregnancy symptoms. My husband
likes to reassure me and just says that I am that pregnant person that everyone
loves to hate because I’m feeling great and will probably be in my high heals
until I deliver! I sure hope he’s right because I do love my high
shoes…especially when I’m teaching those high school boys and need to look them
in the eye!
Back to my boobs though. Those that know me know that I am
naturally small chested (thanks Mom) and since I’ve been pregnant I’ve probably
grown about a cup size. It really is awesome and I’ve definitely been checking
them out in the mirror and wearing some good push up bras! Although, now I see why larger chested
women need a good sports bra as I was helping my class warm up for the terry
fox run this week and realized that jumping in a regular bra is a big no-no as
it hurts (thanks pregnancy hormones), but also, really isn’t attractive!
Anyhow, I’m sure I’ll get sick of them, but for now it feels (and looks!)
awesome.
