12 weeks

so i'm just going to shamelessly copy and paste the template for these updates from my friend's blog.  thanks jess!  ;)

How Far Along: 12 weeks

Size of baby: lil peanut is about the size of a small peach

Total Weight Gain/Loss: mmmm.......i've only gained 2 lbs, how is that possible?

Maternity Clothes: none yet, but i feel like i will live in stretchy pants.  i also bought some belly bands since my pants are uncomfortably tight nowadays

Gender: too soon to tell

Movement: lil peanut is definitely moving around, as we heard on the doppler today, but i'm not able to feel anything yet

Sleep: so random.  some nights i sleep great, others it takes hours to fall asleep.  but either way, i must stumble to the bathroom once or twice a night, and it's hard for me to get comfortable

What I miss: nothing yet, i don't drink or smoke, and the foods that preggies are supposed to avoid aren't my staples

Cravings: fruit, cold things like yogurt or cheese from the fridge

Symptoms: sensitive sense of smell, mild backaches, sore "ladies", ditzy moments where my husband thinks i've lost my damn mind (i'm surprised i got through finals as well as i did), high emotional state in which i can cry for the stupidest reasons (like when reading harry potter)

Best moment this week:  hearing the heartbeat.  we had previously seen lil peanut on ultrasound, but something about hearing the heart beating was extra special.  and being able to share our news with all the rest of our family and friends!
