12 Weeks!

Symptoms: Nausea is better but I still have some queasy days. I've been on Zofran for several weeks. I took it every single day of my pregnancy last time. I am also still battling a sinus infection and bad cough. Oh, immune system you are cruel! I am also hot all.the.time.

Sleep: Exhaustion. I try to nap or rest when Moses is asleep. At night I sleep long and hard. Complete with crazy pregnancy dreams!

Movement: None yet! I'm ready. I don't feel "pregnant" yet.

Weight gain/Maternity Clothes: I have probably back up to my original weight (8lbs plus from before I had Moses!). I lost a few pounds in the beginning. No maternity clothes yet, but I am sure they will be on the way soon.

Cravings: First few weeks was pasta. Now I want really bad fast food like Wendy's chili and the grossest of all..Taco Bell. Seriously, I don't think I have eaten at a Taco Bell since college before this week. I'm not going to lie...it was SO good.

General observations: When they tell you that you forget about all the bad stuff about pregnancy and child birth, they aren't kidding. I will tell you that Brett will remember for me this time! It is very different being home and having a family to take care of. Especially a toddler who does not understand, mommy is sick. I feel SOOO bad for him and Brett. My house is a disaster! I'm ready for the second trimester honeymoon period to kick in!

  1. Hope you feel better soon and get back some energy. Its very hard with a toddler and being sick. Don't worry about the house-- just take care of yourself!

  2. Be on the lookout for the movement. I felt it SOOOOO much earlier with Ben than with Zeke, I guess just because you know what to look for :)
