baby bump 12 weeks

12 weeks!

How far along?  12 weeks

• Total weight gain: 1 lb

• Maternity clothes?  no. but mostly wearing all dresses and yoga pants

• Stretch marks? No  

• Sleep:  Just waking up to pee

• Best moment this week: not the best; but definitely most memorable. me throwing up at the park ( a first in public ever) lucas coming over and imitating my every move and sound (ahem) and caleb coming over and asking "what's wrong mom" on repeat (until I eventually stopped throwing up long enough to answer him) It was funny if only for the fact that we were the only ones around and I only had an audience of two. Lucas' throw up sounds pretty much topped off the moment.

• Miss Anything? feeling healthy and not nauseous 24/7

• Movement: It's still too early I think; but I swear I started feeling a flutter this weekend; which technically the baby's measuring almost 14 weeks (a week ahead and i'll be 13 weeks in a couple days) so maybe it wasn't just my imagination. Plus they say with later pregnancies you can feel movement as early as 13-14 weeks.

• Food cravings: all fruit. fruit by the foot. and artesian veggie egg sandwichs from starbucks.

• Food aversions: anything with flavor basically; dinner food

• Gender: Not finding out; my guess is boy!

• Labor Signs: No

• Symptoms: still just nauseous and exhausted. but almost done with the first trimester which means only a few more weeks and then hopefully I'll be feeling more normal again

• Belly Button in or out? In

• Wedding rings on or off? On

• Looking forward to:  Not throwing up and being able to eat dinner without wanting to heave!

Feeling awkwardly huge already (trust me, in person and by the end of the day my belly is much more expanded than this early morning picture lets on)

I haven't run in a couple weeks and so I laced up my shoes this afternoon; it felt so good! It was like coming up for air I didn't know I wasn't breathing. Things have been on and off stressful with c (not anything new) but not running regularly has made me realize just how much I missed it and just how much I really need it! It truly is my stress therapy. Getting committed once again on carving out some time for my feet to hit the pavement.
