12 Week Bump Date

How far along? 12 weeks

Total weight gain:  Still at the same weight I was before. I still had 8 lbs. left to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight after Isabella. Now, the pre-pregnancy weight will have to wail till after February 2014. :)

Maternity clothes? I am officially back in my maternity pants. My jeans still fit, but I want to be comfortable at work so that is a better option. I can still fit in my tops, so I vary from pre-pregnancy to maternity tops.   

Stretch marks? I didn't get any stretch marks with Isabella on my stomach. I did get some on my breast. So I noticed those are starting to come out and more and coming in. I hope I'm lucky enough again to not get stretch marks with this pregnancy.  

Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well. It takes me a little while to go to bed. I sometimes toss and turn,but I think I'm sleeping pretty good. I don't get up for restroom visits too much.  

Best moment this week: Hearing Baby Peanut's heartbeat at home. It always gives me some reassurance when I want to make sure baby is doing well. 

Miss Anything? Not really! 

Movement:  I haven’t felt any movement yet. Hopefully in the next coming weeks! I can’t wait. 

Food cravings: Fruit; Twinkies; chili cheese fries; grape slush from Sonic 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  I still get nauseated every now and then, but nothing in particular making me sick. 

Gender: We have an appointment with the Maternal Fetal Medicine doctor on 8/8/13. Hopefully we might be able to see what Baby Peanut is. 

Labor Signs:  No labor signs for a long while

Symptoms: Just really exhausted and sleepy. Nauseated every now and then as mentioned above.    

Belly Button in or out? Still an innie 

 Engagement Ring on or off?  It's still on!! 

Happy or Moody most of the time: I’m beyond happy!! I have to say I have my moody/emotional moments as well. 

Looking forward to: Our 13-week appointments. We are meeting with a Genetic Counselor, 1st Trimester Screening, and then an OB visit. 3 appointments in one day is pretty crazy, but I'm looking forward to seeing Peanut! 

Thoughts:

I have been pretty emotional lately. I just hope and pray that this little miracle will arrive safely in our arms. I'm just scared for Ryan and I to have to go through such pain and heartache again, but I know the doctor is sending me to a Maternal Fetal Medicine facility and that I will be monitored a lot more this pregnancy. I love this baby so much, and hope I get to hold our Little Peanut in our arms after he/she takes that first breath of air. 

Be on the look out for our 13 week Vlog as well as a 13 week post on Wednesday!!
