Baby Bump
How far along? 12 Weeks, 5 Days
Size of the baby: Peach
Maternity clothes? I actually fit into my skinny jeans the other day, but it
was not the most comfortable thing in the world... so I've been wearing my
stretchy lululemon pants A LOT.
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Slightly more energy this week, but I still am ready for bed by
8pm.
Symptoms: Nausea (especially at night!), headaches, mood swings, stuffy
nose!
Best moment this week: Telling our friends all about you!!!! (And seeing you on
Ultrasound again!)
Have you told family and friends: Yes! The whole world knows now :)
Miss Anything? My energy.
Food cravings: Ice cream, carrots dipped in salsa, Campbell's chicken
noodle soup.
Anything making you queasy or
sick: The smell of fish
Have you started to show yet: Maybe a tiny little bump!
Gender prediction: I think it’s a girl!
Belly Button in or out? Innie!
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy with a large side of moody. Sorry Jake, I love
you.
Looking forward to: That "second trimester energy" they all talk
about.
Still Running? This week was a challenging week for me physically. Motivation was low and I was fighting a few aches & pains. However, once I get myself out of the door I usually feel so much better! I managed to run 4 days (ranging from 3-7 miles) and the other days I did the elliptical. :)
Letter to Baby
Your Dad and I had a very big week! We told the world all about you! You already have TONS of people who are going to love you forever, and you don't even know it. We are all so excited to meet you. We also got to see your adorable face on ultrasound again this week! You are either going to be a gymnast, soccer player, or runner (hopefully the last option so you can hang out with mom) because you couldn't stop jumping up and down, kicking your little legs, and squirming around! We heard your heartbeat for the first time and I turned into THAT mom. You, know the one that gets all teary and weepy? You're such an amazing little miracle, I couldn't help it!
The last big excitement for the week... we moved into our new house! It will be your first home (and hopefully last for a long time!). I'll tell you one thing baby... moving and being pregnant with you is no walk in the park. I didn't know it was possible to be so tired! That's okay though, soon enough we'll be settled and starting to get your nursery ready! We're. So. Excited.
We love you to the moon, and keep doing that thing you do!
Love, Mom
Dear
Baby,
Can you believe you are already the size of a peach? I seems like just yesterday you were a little poppy seed! This week was a big week for you. Your reflexes are starting to work which means you're waving, jumping, and kicking up a storm in there. I really hope you're comfortable! I was thinking this week about how it must feel for you to be jostled all over the place while I'm running. Hopefully it soothes you to sleep and doesn't turn you into an adrenaline junkie!
