going back to...12 weeks!

10.03.2013 - 16.03.2013

How far along? 12 weeks!

Baby Size: Baby is the size of a plum!

Total weight gain: Couple of kilos…not too much, probably right on what I should have!

Maternity clothes? Hells no – will be a while yet!

Stretch marks? Nope!

Sleep: Officially started to wake at least once during the night for a bathroom break…usually between 4 and 5:30 am

Best moment this week: Seeing you jumping around on the screen! We had our 12 nuchal week scan and blood test. Nanny came with us and got a little teary, Daddy and I just couldn’t stop staring at the screen and grinning. You look like a real little baby now and you did not appreciate the man with the scan wand! Every time he move it you arched your back and jumped away from him. It took about 5 or 6 times to get your heartbeat thanks to your activity but my, oh my, was it the best sound ever :) We have also really started to tell everyone now, a lot of your 2nd cousins and great Aunts and Uncles now know too! And I told Auntie Laina while we were at lunch with Auntie Sara and Mia and well, she screamed! She was so excited :)

Miss Anything? Chocolate not making me feel sick :( Being able to eat something without Googling it first. haha

Movement: Way too early yet!

Food cravings: Not so many cravings this week! Still wanting fruit … Really enjoying peanut butter toast and beef 2 minute noodles seem to taste AMAZING right now.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nausea is getting better! Chocolate seems to make me feel ill though…boo

Gender: Will be a surprise for our first little one! Most people seem to think you are a little girl, but Auntie Kylie C change her mind this week and thinks you’re a boy, and Daddy thinks your little face might have looked more like a boy at our scan!

Symptoms: Needing to pee a lot still (probably thanks to the HEAP of water I seem to drink now, even though I drank a decent amount before), nausea occasionally and still pretty tired. Belly is definitely poking out now so I don’t think it will be secretive much longer!

Belly Button in or out? I have a very deep in! Can’t wait to see what happens!

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy! Seeing you jumping around this week really made your Daddy and I even more over the moon and made things seem a little bit more real…

Looking forward to: Paying off the laybys we put on over the last two weeks (glider, capsule, travel system, nappy bag and bassinette – check!) and our very first midwife appointment on Wednesday! Oh, and making the big announcement on social medias some time in the next fortnight – eep!
