Week 12 (8/31 to 9/6)

How big is baby?  Plum

Weight gain/loss:  152.2 (lost a few since first visit to doctor)

Maternity clothes?  Not this week...bloat went down some but I have to do the hair band trick with my pants otherwise they are a little too tight at the waist!

Stretch marks? Same as week 5....

Sleep?  On and off.  I get up several times at night to pee, and my last time up (usually 4:30) I can't fall back asleep.

Best moment this week? Seeing "da baby" (that's usually what we say)!!  It was awesome!  And having my parents over to help with some housework and remodel our pantry!

Worst moment this week?  Throwing up...yet again :(  Isn't it supposed to be done?

Food cravings?  Pizza.  For some reason, I always want it.  Oh and Shaun's homemade spaghetti sauce!

Gender? Heartbeat was 165 so I'm saying girl!

Belly button in or out? In.

Movement:  We saw bébé kick during the ultrasound and I could have sworn "da baby" kicked me when I was at work on Tuesday (9/6)

What I miss:  Working out!  My muscle tone is starting to disappear.  Hopefully I can get back to a regular workout soon!

What I'm looking forward to:  Seeing my parents for the Labor Day weekend!

Weekly wisdom:  Bear hunting is not a recommended activity to do while pregnant. lol.  The Dr. said someone actually asked her recently about this!  Too funny!

Milestones:  Most critical systems are fully formed; about to enter growth and maturation stage, which organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly; now developing reflexes (if you poke, baby will move!); opening and closing fingers and curling toes, brain is developing fast!  Phew that's a lot of activity going on!
