Pregnancy Week 12

It's that time of week again...update time! I feel super boring because as you will read/see, there has been little to no change between this week and last. I'm kind of hoping it stays like this for a little while. With my height and body type, I don't see why I can't go several more weeks without starting to show. In fact, I'm hoping that my new found energy can really help me get back into the gym regularly and tone back up. I'm really not trying to be a psychotic, exercise-crazed pregnant lady, but I know that I feel my best when I am active and from what I've been reading, that should really help later on when I do have extra weight to carry around. So let's get to Week 12...

How far along?: 12 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: +5

Maternity clothes?: Not yet, but I have started looking for some cute stuff to order so that I don't wake up one morning and have nothing to wear...it could happen!

Sleep: Sleeping like a baby...haha.

Best moment this week: Waking up Sunday and not feeling like the living dead. Seriously! I feel great. Hopefully I have a better moment come Thursday. (Can't.Wait.)

Movement: Still several weeks too early for that.

Food cravings: Mexican- but I always crave that. So nothing too crazy right now.

Gender: T- minus 8 weeks...

Belly Button in or out?: In

Stretchmarks?: Ha, just those preexisting ones...already starting to lotion obsessively, just in case it helps at all!

What I am looking forward to: Our first sonogram this week :)

Weekly Wisdom: Hmm...I feel so new to this I don't think I have much "wisdom" to bring to the table. Maybe something about making sure to appreciate your helpful, doting husband. Sometimes it is easy to forget that he is dealing with my crazy mood swings, complaining of gas and bloating, crying for no reason, etc. Still- make sure you don't give in to any terrible name ideas...aka Rocky. What an idiot. (I say lovingly.)
Milestones: 2nd Trimester, here we come!

Please excuse the post jog look...and notice the huge shadows behind me. Foreshadowing? Also excuse the terrible photo quality. My iPhone and amateur photographer are to blame. :)
