12 weeks!

12 weeks the size of a plum and sonogram time :)

It's getting bigger!
How far along? 12 weeks
Total weight gain: at least 1 pound
Maternity clothes? Not wearing them yet but jeans and pants are very uncomfortable! The baby is literally right at the pants button. I went this weekend and got maternity leggings and a few shirts (after I pouted about not fitting into my skinny jeans). I did lounge around in them on Saturday (all day) .. I’m obsessed with the leggings why don’t all women wear these? 
Stretch marks? none
Sleep: AMAZING! Love the body pillow. See previous post on miracle pillow. We just got the humidifier today which I can’t wait to try out. I have been waking up coughing, sore throat, and stuffy nose (obviously I work with children) so I’m hoping the humidifier will help!
Best moment this week: SONOGRAM/ULTRASOUND! We saw our baby! It is the most precious baby. The baby was a moving all around. The baby was waving and starting bouncing- the cutest thing I have EVER seen! OMG I wish we could have taped it. It’s now confirmed that we have the cutest sweetest baby ever and we are totally going to be one of “those” parents.
Miss Anything? SUSHI! DIET COKE. I’m getting a little sick of water. Coffee doesn’t tempt me so much anymore. Wine.
Movement: none that I can feel but a lot we can see.
Food cravings: Fruit, fruit, fruit. Milk products- cheese, cottage chips dipped with chips, milk, milk, milk. And now I am loving sweets. YUM. I was in the grocery store and started with a ton of fruit and ended with cupcakes and icing. I seriously considered an alternative to the cupcakes but what is that??? Nothing.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Salad, SPRITE, meat.
Gender: Prediction girl. 
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I had the worst first half of last week. I mean awful! I had to come home from work and take a two hour nap and then go back. I actually thought about calling in sick. Worst headaches of my life. And I’ve never been that exhausted. I was pretty much worthless for 4 days. Ugh. But now I am feeling so much better! Not so tired and (so far) no headaches. YAY
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Today I’m on cloud nine!!!! But last week for the most part I was cranky because I felt like death. 
Looking forward to: The second trimester and feeling better! And of course the gender prediction ultrasound and anymore heartbeats because they are so cute too.
Random: I have stubbed my toe consistently 1x a week this week 2x’s. Jamie has quit rushing out to see if I’m ok to saying “Seriously you need to wear shoes in the house.” My balance is a little off...  And now my dreams are like a lifetime movie. No joke. Image a lifetime movie and that is my dream. 
How are the furry babies doing?? Oscar has now decided he too needs lots of attention.  So now we have two needy fur balls. And both of them sleeping the bed.
Workout: I managed 3x’s last week even though I felt bad- two days running and one yoga day. I’m hoping now that I feel better I can start doing 4. It gets a little hard with work but that’s the goal!
