12 weeks

Finally getting to do these fun pregnancy posts! :) The 9 month weight was SO worth it.

Today I am 12 weeks... 3 months!!!

No picture with MK and the chalk board today... Mike's out of town for a couple days so I don't have anyone to take it! :)

How Big is Baby? the size of a lime or a plumb- over 2 inches long and weighs half an ounce

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +2lb... my goal is to gain less than the 40lb I gained with MK...but that came off super easy (thanks breastfeeding and the White Rock Relay!) so I'm not stressing about it!

Sleep: Sleeping like a rock, tired ALL the time and those crazy preggo dreams have started. Must take a nap while MK naps or I'm a wreck the rest of the day.

Movement: Not feeling anything yet... saw baby last week on a sono kicking and waving, I can't wait to feel those flutters!

Symptoms: Nausea when I don't eat but definitely better than a few weeks ago (don't have to take Zofran every morning now!!), headaches, fatigue, sore and growing boobs, super sensitive to smells (mike, Mike's deodorant...poor Mike!), kinda irritable (again, poor Mike!).

Food Cravings/Aversions:First craving came this week: a juicy 5 guys hamburger! No food aversions thankfully!

Gender: ?? Can't wait to find out in 8 weeks! We call baby "Belly Bean." We are sticking with "M" and "K" names (So that our kiddos initails will be our married initails "MKV" or "KMV"). Having a hard time coming up with ones we love... suggestions welcome! Top boy names: Knox and Kole. Top girl names: Khole, Kiley, Kaleigh, Kinsley. We are going to probably make baby's middle name "Michael" either the traditional spelling or "Michal" (King Saul's daughter and King David's first wife from the bible) for a girl after thier dad!
Belly Button in or out? Still in, it definitely popped out with MK though so looking forward to that!

What I miss? A yummy margarita, working out- especially yoga, and "working out" with Mike (doctors orders due to some early complications!), having the energy to get stuff done while MK naps.

What I am looking forward to? Feeling baby move, getting more of a bump, visiting my parents in England in July!

Milestones: Making it to 12 weeks! Making the official facebook/blog annoucement. Excited to be done with the first trimester in the next few weeks.

Big Sister: Loves kissing my belly, says that she has a belly bean in her belly too! "Mammie belly bean too, mama" She loves changing her baby doll's diaper... big sister training!
