Baby Bump - 12 weeks

How im feeling? - This first trimester has been draining, tiring and nauseating. This week {and the few days leading up to it} I have slowly started to feel my energy come back. I am not feeling as tired as I have been in previous weeks and my nausea... instead of being all day 24/7 it is now off and on and totally random which leads me to believe it's starting to stall out and boy am I excited about that!

Craving? - Pizza. I am usually a big fan of pizza but now I really want pizza. Even if that means half the time the pizza won't stay down for very long {sorry}. Biscuits {especially Cracker Barrels biscuits}, anything chocolate and Black Cherry Greek yogurt w/sliced strawberries. 

Maternity clothes? - Yes and im not ashamed of it either. With my first pregnancy I started 'showing' around 13/14 weeks. This time, even earlier. I bought the belly band thing but honestly? I don't really care for it. Not to mention I was in need of some new jeans anyways but instead of going out and buying new jeans {will wait after baby} I just bought some maternity ones instead. Why don't I care for the belly band thingy? I hate how it always feels like it's riding up in the back. It's just so much easier to throw on a pair of jeans that already have the 'stretchy' built in. Plus... I, for one, think maternity jeans are insanely comfortable.

Mood? - Same as it is when not pregnant.

Sleep? - All in all, sleeping is okay. I have some nights where I wake up in a hot sweat or toss and turn. Besides waking up around 3am to use the bathroom, sleeping is so far so good. I'm not a big stomach sleeper so I've already been sleeping on my sides.


Overall everything is good so far. Weight gain still freaks me out because I gained so much with Jayden {and managed to lose all of said gained weight}. Now that my energy is coming back and the sun is staying out a little longer each day, I plan to start walking around the neighborhood {that's more then I did with my first pregnancy}. I know it's not much but it's something and I enjoy getting out in the fresh air {the dogs will love it too}.

I have had two appts. so far and everything looks great with the baby. Although I am researching a new doctor/hospital. Not because I don't like my doctor {because I do} but I am really hoping to try for a vbac and the hospital {the one my doctor is affiliated with} does not do vbacs. I think I might have found a doctor and hospital who does and will be calling within the week to confirm if in fact they do.

I haven't bought anything for the baby except 5 little 'neutral' onesies. With my first one I jumped the gun because I couldn't wait to start shopping and ended up buying everything 'neutral' which at that time was in the form of Winnie-the-pooh {lol!}. Ya, this time... I am going to wait it out to buy the majority of the items until we find out if Baby M is a boy or a girl {say no to pooh!}.

I am really just looking forward to getting into the 2nd trimester. I think because we found out soooo early {I was around 4 weeks} it just seems like time has been dragging, but now that we are nearing the end of the first trimester, it does seem like things are starting to speed up a bit and become more routine :)
