-- No picture this week...life got a little too busy to get to the store for a plum! --
How far along? 12 weeks
Maternity clothes: A few mixed in, but not completely yet.
Stretch marks: Nothing yet. Remember the blue road map I talked about? Yeah...one of the veins burst in my sleep and caused a purple veiny bruise for a day or two. It was gross!
Sleep: Depends on the day. I'm lucky to make it past 9:30, epsecially if I stop doing everything and sit on the couch.
Best moment this week: This involves a little back story. My office girls used to always "weigh in" on Friday mornings, and then we would go get our favorite treat. We called it "Fatty Fridays!" and my treat was Starbucks. I always got the same barista, and we sort of became friends (she could even guess what drink I wanted by the look on my face). I hadn't been back since I've been pregnant, not even once. But this week with trials deserved a special trip...so I went on Wednesday. The barista squealed when I got there and told me she missed seeing me...and that every Friday she tells people "yay for Fatty Friday" and they look at her like she's crazy. I told her I was sorry I hadn't been coming, but there was a good reason. Before I could get out "I'm pregnant," she screamed at the top of her lungs and burst into tears of excitement. This in turn caused Target security to come over and make sure I wasn't robbing the joint. Hilarious...and seriously made my week. Wish I would have caught her reaction on video!
Miss Anything: Ham...well, lunch meat in general. PBJ's are getting a little old.
Movement: Just a few growing pains.
Symptoms: This section should be read only for girls and mothers...honestly..nobody ever tells you the ridiculous things that you will experience in pregnancy, and make you believe it is all so beautiful. This week, I've noticed hair...literally everywhere. My stomach is covered like a monkey. Daniel laughs, and the doctor said it will go away as soon as I deliver.
Food cravings: Bananas, chocolate milk, milk in general, and apple juice.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still cigarettes. Even though I'm past the point of constant morning sickness...I smell a hint of smoke and I have to run to the bathroom.
Have you started to show yet: Yes. There is no more sucking it in...especially after eating a full meal. Oh, and love handles...gotta love them, right?
Gender: Keep the predictions coming! These old wives tales are cracking me up.
Labor Signs: Nada. But I did watch TLC A Baby Story...and I can tell you that I will NOT be tuning in to that show again until after November. Anxiety central!
Belly Button in or out?: Still in. :)
Wedding rigns on or off: Still on!
General Mood: Pretty good, except when I get really tired...I kind of slip into an "I give up" state of mind. haha Daniel just laughs at me!
Best advice this week: I didn't really receive much advice this week, mainly congratulations from friends we were able to reach and give the news to.
Worst advice this week: None.
Exercise: Lots of walking. I need to get working on my yoga again now that I'm regaining some energy...and tone the arms as best as I can through this process.
Looking forward to: Announcing it to facebook soon!
