12 Weeks

Today I am 12 weeks pregnant. YEAH - the early pregnancy symptoms are seemingly starting to pass. I haven't been nauseated for 2 weeks now. All in all, my nausea didn't last as long as many others, but boy it felt like it did. When sick, I was sick all day.... from dawn to dusk. No fun. So glad that has passed. I am still very fatigued in the afternoons and almost always have to have a nap. I will take that any day over nausea!!

I had my 12 week appointment today. It was GREAT!!! I took the kids with me. I want them to be as much a part of this as they can. We were able to hear the very healthy heart beat of our baby . Such a precious sound!!! Isaac was even bouncing to the beat. He sure knows how to make me giggle. Everything checked out great and I even lost a pound. How is that possible with the amount of chocolate I have been eating lately? I am sure I will make up that pound and many more in the months to come.

Last time I updated on the pregnancy, the baby was the size of a raspberry. We have now graduated to a plum......
Which is much better than the prune last week. Who wants to compare their baby with a prune?!

As of now both Isaac and Julia think the baby is a boy. We will see come April if they are right.
