12 Weeks!

WOW. Here we are at 12 weeks! I will officially be in my second trimester at the end of this week!! YAY!

This week Baby L is the size of a plum! I really look forward to seeing what fruit my baby is compared to each week! HA!   His or her reflexes are forming, so he/she can open and close his/her fingers and can curl his/her toes! The baby's mouth is making the sucking movements now as well!  Amazing!!!

I feel like I haven't grown a whole lot in the last week, but I am sure I have. I am still feeling sick here and there, but I can tell it is getting better...slowly but surely! I have started with the migraines now!! I had my first one on Wednesday! Thankfully I know they are coming on because I lose my vision first so I am able to take something to help the pain before it gets out of control. 

I am still exhausted 24/7 and I am waiting for the burst of energy to hit me! Hopefully it is just right around the corner!!

Pregnancy Highlights!
How far along?  12 weeks

Size of Baby?  Approximately the size of a plum and over 2 inches long!

Weight Gain/Loss? 1 pound (Total 2)

Maternity Clothes? I am still in my regular clothes at the moment!

Moment this week?  We went out to eat with some friends of ours and they have a 2 1/2 month old.  This was the first time Brayden has been around a baby that was that little.  I was holding the baby and Brayden was right next to me and would touch his toes and say "toes" and then say "Shew wee." The baby also started crying when he was in his car seat and Brayden ran around the table to check on him and he did not know what to think about him crying.  He looked at us like "are you going to help him" I have to say that it completely melted my heart to see him take to him and made me so excited for our baby to get here.  Brayden will be an excellent big brother!

Gender?  Unknown

Movement? Not yet

Food Craving?   Nothing much this week.

What I miss?  I really do not miss anything besides  not feeling sick.  I really hope that it goes away soon!

Sleep?   Still sleeping really well!

What I am looking forward to?  I miss having enough energy to keep my house clean, make dinner. It's been so frustrating that I do not have energy to do the laundry and other things like that.

Symptoms?  Still nauseous and now migraines! I also have extreme fatigue and the need to run to the bathroom all the time. I get up at least once a night to go pee.

Here are my 12 week photos
