Week 12

2017-08-12_0001

How far along: 12 weeks

Total weight gain: -2 lbs

Maternity clothes: The bloating with this pregnancy is OUT. OF. CONTROL. I’m feeling pregnant so much faster than I did with Hayes. It started really bad around 8 weeks & hasn’t let up. But let’s be honest, I haven’t really stopped wearing maternity clothes since I had Hayes, so nothing has really changed.

Stretch marks: No more new ones.

Sleep: Waking up at least once or twice during the night to go to the bathroom. I toss & turn all night, eventually waking up anxious & panicky or nauseous & having to throw up.

Best moment of this week: Feeling good enough to leave my house.

Miss anything: I miss not feeling nauseous.

Movement: Not yet. I was just telling Clint that I wish I could feel baby move. It was always such a comfort to me with Hayes. & my bonding with the baby truly begins.

Food cravings: Mostly just anything that will settle my stomach. Right now, that is soda that isn’t brown & pasta.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Vegetables & fruit.. Especially veggies.

Have you started to show yet: Not showing baby, but definitely bloat.

Gender: We have a strong feeling that it’s a girl, but you never know!

Wedding rings on or off: I haven’t been able to wear my wedding ring since Hayes.

Happy or moody most of the time: If I’m nauseous, just don’t talk to me… I try so hard to be pleasant 😦

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender of baby. I’ve been dying to go find deals on summer clothes for next year. So many sales!!!

Fireworks, Food + Family

Our 4th was perfection. We ate delicious food at our Uncle Bret’s house & went to the West Jordan fireworks. A friend saved us a spot right underneath the action & it was beautiful.

Hayes spent the majority of the time throwing anything he could find while he was “trapped” in his stroller. He was relatively unfazed by the fireworks & would glance every few booms or so. He cracks me up.
