14 week check-in



How far along? 14 weeks 3 days
Weight gain/loss: +2 pounds total
Maternity clothes? Not yet but I feel like I'm going to have to make the transition soon. Everything is getting uncomfortable and the hair tie- belly band combo isn't that comfortable for me. 
Sleep? Needing a lot. I'm very tired. I go to bed right after Tommy every night. 
Symptoms? The nausea has subsided some. I still wake up nauseated some mornings but it isn't lasting all day anymore. I have some food aversions still but not as bad as before.
Best moment this past week? I think I may have felt the baby moving!? The last few evenings, I feel little flutters from deep within. I'm pretty sure it's the baby but it's hard to tell since it really could be gas...
Food cravings: Sweet potato chips...mmmm
Sex: We will be finding out, I keep going back and forth on whether I think it's a boy or girl.
Belly button in or out: In
Movement: Maybe?!
What I miss? Being awake and having energy. My house is a wreck and I can't seem to get myself up to do anything about it.
What I'm looking forward to this week: Keeping this baby growing!
Milestones: Baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb!

Week 12 check-in



How far along? 12 weeks 5 days
Weight gain/loss: +1 pound total
Maternity clothes? Not yet but I feel like I'm going to have to make the transition soon. Everything is getting uncomfortable and the hair tie- belly band combo isn't that comfortable for me. 
Sleep? Needing a lot. I'm very tired. I go to bed right after Tommy every night. 
Symptoms? The nausea has subsided some. I still wake up nauseated some mornings but it isn't lasting all day anymore. I have some food aversions still but not as bad as before.
Best moment this past week? I had another appointment this week. My doctor tried to find the heartbeat with the Doppler. He poked around for a while but only heard my own. I was afraid he was going to make me wait until next appointment but to my delight, he said, "let's cheat, I'm going to grab the ultrasound machine!" So I got to see my little baby again and he/she was kicking away! The heartbeat was strong and I got some more pictures :)
Food cravings: Pizza and French fries. Not the healthiest of cravings... 
Sex: We will be finding out, I keep going back and forth on whether I think it's a boy or girl.
Belly button in or out: In
Movement: Only gas...
What I miss? Feeling awake!
What I'm looking forward to this week: Keeping this baby growing!
