How far along? Today I am 12 weeks, 6 days
How big is baby? Peach -- since the baby was measuring ahead on Tuesday, I think it's safe to say that.
Total weight gain/loss: 138 lbs (down 1 lb overall, down .5lb from last week).
This part is weird for me. To most people, I have always looked like I weigh less than I do. Doctors and nurses typically guess about 15 to 20 lbs less than I actually am, but I am muscular from the regular dancing, so I'm guessing that's where the extra weight comes from. I think what might be happening is that my muscle mass is decreasing due to the decreased activity, so that's why I'm not officially gaining weight. Because I do feel like I am getting bigger.
Maternity clothes? No
Stretch marks? No
Sleep? I have been sleeping ok for the most part.
Pregnancy dreams? I did have a dream just before 12 weeks that we were having a boy. The next morning I got a call that our MaterniT21 results came back (very low risk) and there is the presence of the Y chromosome. But we won't know for sure for a while because it could have been the vanishing twin.
Best moment this week? Ultrasound at 12w3d. Arms, legs, little face. So much different from the 9+ week ultrasound.
Miss anything? I had a sip of wine last weekend. Shhh. :)
Movement? Not yet.
Food cravings? Fried food
Anything making you queasy or sick? During week 11 and the first part of 12, I had a very rough time. I was unable to take any of my vitamins and was still struggling to keep stuff down. Nausea, gagging, dry heaving, and a little bit of vomiting were the norm. But I seem to be coming out of that now. I still need to eat smaller meals than normal, but I can take my vitamins again. Except my iron supplements, which my OB said was ok.
Team Green/Finding Out? Finding out.
Labor signs: Not for a while.
Symptoms: Slight nausea, slight fatigue. My skin doesn't heal as fast from minor abrasions as it usually does. I also noticed some prominent veins in my groin to hip region.
Belly button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy.
Any milestones this week? We're at the end of first tri now!
Looking forward to: Another ultrasound on Monday. They want to get some more angles for the NT scan, but so far it looked good.
Bump pic from 12w4d - this will be my official 12 week pic, and I'll probably do another one on Sunday or Monday for 13 weeks.
And here's the 12w3d ultrasound pics. The first one is the fist bump one. (Ok, so really the baby was probably going to suck its thumb...)
