How Preggo am I?
12 Weeks
Gender
We don't know yet, but we are planning on finding out
Total Weight Gain
I don't know and I don't want to know. I am struggling with this alot. There is alot of anxiety and fear... so I'm going to avoid it as much as possible.
Maternity Clothes
Well since I don't really leave our house.. I spend most of my time in lounge pants and shirts.. none are maternity. When I go out I mostly wear dresses they are the most comfortable right now and I did buy a pair of maternity shorts and they are AWESOME. I plan on getting one more pair and living in them this summer. As far as tops.. I'm wearing all normal tops as of now.
movement
No movement as of yet. It's a little early but Adam and I were talking about it last night and we both think this will be a pretty cool thing once it happens.
Sleep
I have had a really hard time sleeping. I think this mostly has to do with my schedule during the day. I am trying to stay up during the day and if that happens then I sleep pretty good at night. I am getting up any where from 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom. Last night I couldn't cool down even with a fan blowing directly on me so I went to the basement and I slept ok.
What I miss
Not having to think about all that I can and can't eat for safety reasons. I miss deli meats which I didn't really eat before but I do now. I thought I would miss caffeine but I really have not. There are mornings where I can't seem to wake up and I think.. wow wish I could have coffee.. but other than that.. not so much.
Cravings
In the beginning I wanted any thing lemon or lime. I don't have anything specific.. I guess I crave anything I don't have to make.. I really have had no desire to cook at all. I really wish we could have someone come and cook for us. There was a week or so all I wanted was a hamburger. That has passed. Oh and I can't stand coffee and chocolate and vegetables. All very not me because I really like all 3 of those.
Symptoms
Well the nausea has stopped.. PRAISE the LORD! I'm happy to say I never threw up! The past 2 weeks I have had a headache almost every day and I am constantly going to the bathroom. My nails are growing really fast.. which is new to me.. I don't have nails. Oh and I have more hair on my stomach.. I know weird. No one tells you that happens.
Fears
Weight gain is a fear.. it is a major insecurity of mine.. I'm trying to overcome it especially because I refuse to pass the insecurity down to my child. Fear of the unknown.. we really don't know what our future is going to hold where we are going to live.. what state we will be living in .. so I guess adding a newborn into that has added some fear. But I have to say there is also excitement in all of it as well!
Best Moment of the week
Just being in my 12th week has been really exciting this week. It is nice to start my 3rd month.

I love this!!! I am BEYOND excited for you. I'm glad you are feeling better. I am one that pregnancy does NOT agree with in the beginning. I was throwing up almost every day - with both Liam and Jorja I was sick until 14/15 weeks SO, definitely count your blessings. :) The second trimester is my absolute favorite of pregnancy so I'm excited for you to be there!! Feeling the baby move is one of the most amazing things ever. It NEVER gets old for me - even if it's at 2:00am. :) And I hate to tell you but the bathroom situation only gets worse as the baby grows! HA! And I totally understand your fears - the weight gain is definitely hard at times. Especially if you carry really big babies like I do, and everyone wants to ask if you are carrying twins. Most days it doesn't bother me but on my hormonal days of insecurity I definitely want to hit people upside the head. Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean you can call me huge. I'm just sayin! :) And this baby is DEFINITELY not a surprise to the Lord and is a gift from Him. He will provide ALL you need!!! So excited about your journey towards motherhood. There's nothing like it and you will be AMAZED at what you learn about God through all of this. I'm no expert but if you have questions or need encouragement please don't hesitate to contact me. :) LOVE, Beck
