Week 12

Hey hey hey! Week 12 is here. With Declan, I woke up on the day I hit 12 weeks and felt like a new human. This baby is giving me a run for my money (hopefully not a foreshadowing!) and I still feel sick as a dog. I'm going to try a new medication today and am hoping that it will help.

We made our social media announcement this week. We cannot thank everyone enough for the love we felt with the announcement. It was incredible. Baby 2.0 is due in the middle of the spring semester, 2 years into my 4 year doctoral program, so keep the love and support coming as we make that major transition! Here are a few of our favorite shots from out family shoot.

We also had our first trimester screening today! Babe looks great!

On to the stats:

How far along?  12 weeks

Total weight gain/loss?  Up 2- all I can stand to eat is JUNK which is killing me. Especially after the drastic lifestyle change that Kevin and I went through in April. I just want to eat a vegetable.

Maternity clothes? I bought a new set of Belly Bands and they're saving my life.

Stretch marks? Nada

Sleep? My adorable preschooler brought home a cold, so sleep has been rough with a runny nose and sore throat... on top of sore hips. Naps are also less frequent because school is picking up and I need to use Declan's naps to get work done on days he's not in pre-school.

Best moment last week? Social media announcement and seeing little babe :)

Movement? Every once in a while I think I feel a flutter. And realize it's gas hahaha

Food cravings? No no no no no. I hate food.

Labor signs? Wayyyy too early.

Belly button in/out? Way, way an innie

What I miss: Keeping my food down (I'm keeping this from last week)

What I am looking forward to: hitting the 2nd tri and hopefully feeling better (Keeping this, too!)
