12 Weeks!

You can check out my 12 week update I did with Evelyn here!


How far along: 12 Weeks.

Total weight gain: -6 pounds. (I did this with Evelyn too.. no worries)

Size and growth of the baby: Heres my Update from Baby Center.Com

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. 

Sex: No clue yet! (P wants a boy though and I am content with whatever we get... don't have a clue!)

Maternity clothes: Nope!

Sleep: Up every few hours to pee.

Best moment(s) of the week: Hearing the babys heartbeat and hearing the movement! Very cool! Also the fact that P was there made it so amazing! (he was deployed when I was pregnant with Evelyn.)

Food cravings/aversions: Burritos. Pretty bad.

Morning sickness: Last few days it's calmed down... but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Symptoms: None.

Labor signs: None!

Belly button in or out: In.

What I miss: Eating what I want.

What I'm looking forward to: My appointment at the hospital! Hoping to see the Baby!
