12 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 12 Weeks

Size of baby: A large lime

Total Weight Loss/Gain: 2 lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Only shorts and pants. Still able to wear regular tops and dresses.

Gender: Won't know until the end of May.

Movement: Still too early to feel anything. Maybe in another month. I was 16 weeks when I could feel Taylor for the first time.

Sleep: I'm able to sleep very well.

What I miss: Being able to sleep on my stomach. I'm at the point where it clearly isn't comfortable anymore. I'm mostly a stomach sleeper and occassionally end up on my side. It will be about another year and a half before I can peacefully sleep on my stomach again, since I'll be nursing.

Cravings: None really.

Symptoms: Heartburn & Migranes.

Best Moment of the Week: I had a few dreams this week that involved delivering the baby. It felt so real and brought back memories of holding Mason & Taylor for the first time. I look forward to the day that I get to hold our littlest one for the very first time. There is nothing like it.

This week was the first week that I really didn't feel good. Tuesday night I fell asleep with the beginning of a headache. I was certain that when I woke up the headache would be gone. Unfortunately, I woke up with a full blown migrane. It lasted through Thursday and didn't go away until Thursday evening. I was miserable.

Tomorrow, I have another checkup with my doctor. I look forward to these appointments because I get to hear the baby's heartbeat.

Last night, our friends Luke & Nicole delivered their second daughter, Stella Rose. She weighed 9lbs 6oz. Funny story, she actually showed up to the shower in labor but decided to wait until it was over to go to the hospital. Then her water broke at her own baby shower. Within an hour of arriving to the hospital, she delivered Stella. I so wish I was in Bakersfield right now to see sweet Stella. Missing all my friends back in Bako right now.
