Baby Bump Report: Week 12

How far? Week 12

What's baby up to?  Baby has developed reflexes and is moving like crazy, but I can't feel him/her yet.  Now baby is just over 2 inches long and is about the size of a lime.

Weight gain?  1 lb. which hardly counts, but I've got a little baby bump officially!  And no, it's not just bloat.  I had bloat.  It went away.  I don't feel bloated.  It's a constant little baby bump.  :)

Maternity clothes?  Still rockin' the belly band!  :)

Symptoms?  Exhaustion and nausea... yep, that pretty much sums it up!  However, both seem to be easing up this week!

Sleep?  I'd love to, thanks! :)

Food cravings?  Pop corn, Pizza Hut's Meaty Marinara pasta, McAlister's club

Food aversions? Bagels.  I had lunch duty one day this week and it smelled like really gross bacon.  Didn't enjoy that at all.

Miss anything?  Hot bubble baths and uninterrupted sleep... same as last week.

I'm feeling... blessed and excited and in the Christmas spirit!

Best moment of the week(s)?  We heard Baby's heartbeat again at my appointment and after some encouragement from Georgina (love you for this!), I talked to my midwife and she said I should go eat a McAlister's Club.  So I did.  It was yum, yum delish.  (Unfortunately, she nixed the hot bath... said body temperature would be okay... but hello?  Hot bath does not equal body temperature.)

Looking forward to... Having energy to finish decorating, do our Christmas shopping, and clean the house!  Still waiting for all my energy to come back!
