I found a really cool thing on a blog entitled 7x7mommy.com where she is tracking her second pregnancy in a really cool way of a series of questions. I thought it was so cool, that I have to steal it!!
Baby is about the size of a lime
Age of baby # 1: 22 months ( which means they will be 2 1/2 years apart)
How far along: 12 weeks
How big is baby: About the size of a lime
Total weight gain:
1 lbs.
Maternity clothes:
For Mothers day Jamie got me a gift card for maternity clothes. I have been fine so far, but just today I put a Rubber band on my jeans to give me more room, so it might be about time for some pants
Stretch marks:
Just what I already had
Belly button:
Innie. Stayed that way the first time, so I am pretty sure it will this time as well
Sleep:
I have great days,and I have some bad days, where I just can't get comfortable. I feel like I hurt more this time then before in the abdomen, like things are pulling and tugging more... so some nights that gets in the way with sleeping. As well as I tend to get night sickness instead of morning sickness.
Best moment of the week:
Hearing the heartbeat! I was really nervous, because Jamie had to work so I was there by mysef. And you never know if there is bad news, especially this early on. With Julian the doctor couldn't find the heart beat on the machine and we had to have an ultra sound. That really scared me so to be by myself I was nervous there would be bad news and I would have to bear it alone, but all went well, the doctor found the heart beat right away!
Food cravings:
This week in particular has been chips, salty chips. I settled for Pickles, because even though they are not healthy in the sodium department, I thought they would be better than fried chips!!
Food aversions:
I have had a couple meals this week that I thought would be really good, and when I ate it, it really wasn't. Not that the food was bad, just that I ended up not feeling it! I hate that!! Especially if you are splurging on a not so healthy food (ie a cheeseburger) was not that great, very disappointed
Symptoms:
You name it I have had it. Nausea, constipation, heartburn, tired. Starting to be less often though
Movement:
Ok I know all the blogs say it is impossible to feel movement yet, but I swear I have felt fluttering. And it is not the constipation, I know what those movement feel like. This is something different, but nothing definite.
Gender:
No idea, but can’t wait to find out!
What I’m looking forward to:
Nice weather and swimming
What I’m nervous about:
getting more tired, with a very very active boy. My house has been a disaster many days early on because I was sick and had no energy to keep up with his messes.
What I miss:
Crazy enough running, but I am still working out 3-4 times a week, just can't run!
Next appointment:
June 22
Comparison to Pregnancy #1:
Complete 180. I was never sick with Julian or had any symptoms for that matter until the end of the second trimester when I got bad heart burn. But I felt great. And that has not been the case this time around
