12 weeks

Wow look how much Baby has grown over the last few weeks! We were able to see the baby MOVE. That's been the coolest part of the whole pregnancy yet!

**edit**

I was also going to include my current pregnancy symptoms: The Morning Sickness has subsided and is definitely tolerable now. I have learned if I take the Zofran about an hour before i wake up, I'm totally good. (having ur husband wake u up is the trick, not taking it in ur sleep) The newest symptom is HEARTBURN/Indigestion. WHOO! Those babies are lethal.... Are cravings real? Because my mind sure thinks they are. I will be laying in bed feeling "sloshy" as i like to say, and all of a sudden i will think "OH MY HEAVENS. ARBY'S BEEF N' CHEDDAR SOUNDS SO GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!!!". Then of COURSE i will get that for lunch the next day, and get serious heartburn from it. *sigh* I am so very tired most of the day. Tired. and Lazy. But at night, my bladder won't let me sleep long already! argh!! Don't get me wrong with all my complaining... i am so HAPPY to be pregnant!!! ECSTATIC!!!!

Something funny that happened at the doctors office... at 5 weeks I came into the doctor to confirm that I was indeed pregnant, and of course they weighed me. Nothing unusual. Then, just 3 weeks later i went for my 8 week apt... and weighed a whopping TWELVE POUNDS extra. I INSISTED the scale was wrong and she re-weigh me.. she says "Um, 11.5 lbs i guess i could say? Thats one big baby!" and I huffed and moved on. But my nerves were calmed when I went in today for the 12 week only to weigh 1 lb more than at my 5 week appointment. Talk about relief! I don't mind gaining weight at all, But 12 lbs... in 3 weeks!?? haha. I KNEW i was right ;)

Hope your nurse didn't yell at you for gaining 12 lbs. I once had a nurse yell at me for gaining 5, then the next month when I only gained one, she yelled at me again. What the heck? That's when I decided to stop listening to her, and just enjoy being pregnant!

Awww my little niece or nephew is going to be the cutest!! I can already tell... ha ha. Sorry about the heartburn and small bladder issues! I remember before Carsen was born I just wanted the baby to come and so I could get some sleep... little did I know :)

Oh yes.. I remember when I was pregnant with Taylor and always had to get up in the middle of the night to pee. I thought, "I will never sleep through the night again!" not exactly true... but it was true from the time I was pregnant until she was a year old and now it's true again. ha!

Maybe you're getting some of your weight gain out of the way and won't gain as much at the end :-) With Taylor, I didn't gain but a pound or two each visit until the last couple of months, and then it was 7 lbs, 7 lbs, 7 lbs every time. wow!
