12 Week Bumpdate

12 Week Bumpdate

12 Week Bumpdate

 

size of the baby: plum– about 2.09 inches

 

total weight gain: 5 pounds

 

gender: Unknown, i’m leaning toward boy most of the time because this pregnancy has been so different, but you never know. We both really don’t care if its a boy or girl, we are just so excited to have another little.

 

maternity clothes: I am still in my regular clothes, although, I am having to start using the rubber band trick on a few pairs of jeans. I am holding off as long as possible on maternity jeans this time.

 

movement: This might sound crazy, but I swear I could feel little twitching the other night in bed. Who knows though!

 

sleep: I am sleeping okay, with the exception of waking up around 3-3:30 every morning to pee. I am practically a zombie at that time though, it really isn’t effecting my sleep.

 

missing: my normal body already 🙁

 

craving: I really haven’t had strong cravings this time, I just get really hungry, all the time.

 

symptoms: nausea. hunger. nausea. breakout. nausea. fatigue.

 

kevin is: a mixture of excitement and panic lol (i’m kidding, kind of). Sometimes, our life is so busy and Brooke is everywhere and we can’t imagine chasing a second baby. People keep saying that your bandwidth just grows, so i’m sure we will be fine..haha.

 

looking forward to: finding out the gender of this sweet babe that is making me so sick.

 

best moments: This week has been pretty uneventful so far, so I’ll have to say having a weekend at home. We have been on-the-go for the past several months it seems, so it was nice to have a calm weekend at home.
