Weekly check-in:
How far along?: 12w3d
How big is baby: The size of a plum!
Weight gain/loss: +3 (from pre-pregnancy weight) but -0.5 lbs from last doctor's appointment
Pregnancy symptoms: Nose bleeding, increased appetite, round ligament pains
Maternity clothes: Have not bought any maternity clothes yet but had to buy new bras. Went up a cup size already :-/.
Stretch Marks: None
Sleep: I feel like I am slowly getting my energy back so I can now stay up a little bit later than I used to. It helps me sleep through the night rather than sleep early, wake up and toss and turn in the middle of the night. Daddy Jarbs and I have switched sides of the bed where we normally sleep. He used to sleep on the side closer to the bathroom. Since I have to get up at least 3x a night to pee, I forced him to switched sides so I'll have a closer walk to the loo :-).
Best moment this week: Hearing Baby Jarbs' strong heartbeat via the doppler
Movement: None but in a few weeks I should be able to feel some movements
Food cravings: Cosi's artic mocha, green mangoes
Food aversions: Still do not like sweets.
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: In!
What I miss: Taking my allergy meds. Because of the extremely high pollen count this season, the netipot and Benadryl are not enough :-/.
What I am looking forward to: 2nd trimester and being out of the danger zone!
Milestones:
As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of her systems are fully formed.
