Sorry the lighting is so bad in these pictures - it's started to get really dark here again in the afternoon! :( It seems I need to take all my blog photos earlier in the day from now on!
How far along? 12/11 weeks - am saying 12 but still not sure if it's changed or not. Will find out at tomorrow's OB appointment.
Total weight gain: Gained another 2lbs this week putting me at 120lbs which is 5lbs total. I remember last time I would get a lot more stressed about weight gain/whether I was gaining enough or too much...constantly checking if I was on track, etc. etc. This time around I'm a lot more relaxed about it because I've been through it and I know what's normal! Some weeks you gain more, others you gain less/none at all...it all balances out in the end :)
Maternity clothes? All the time!
Stretch marks? No new ones! Been using Mama Mio Tummy Butter every night on my belly to prevent them.
Sleep: Still good.
Best moment this week:
Miss anything? Not at the moment but I know that soon I will miss sleeping on my tummy! Those days are numbered...I can tell :( I am a total tummy sleeper and that was one of the worst things about pregnancy last time. Right now I am sleeping this way as much as possible to get the most out of it, ha ha!
Movement: No.
Food cravings: HOLY sausages!!! Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a big meat-eater...in fact, red meat is usually a no-go for me as I generally find it gross. But this week I developed these extremely strong cravings for sausages...sausage rolls, meat balls, any kind of pork sausage, especially with ketchup. OMG. I think I'm turning into a sausage! The funny thing is our treat cupboard is overflowing with cookies, cake, chocolate, etc. which NEVER happens as I normally have such a sweet tooth. I just haven't been feeling the sweets lately. Not like me, at all!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Not at the moment.
Gender: No clue.
Labor signs: Nope.
Symptoms: Morning sickness is definitely gone - phew! And my energy is slowly but surely coming back. I have days where I feel totally normal and like "myself" and then some days I still get super tired. So it varies! One thing I forgot to mention in my video (and brace yourselves for TMI here...) was constipation :( Unfortunately I do remember this symptom from last time. I think the prenatals tend to add to that :-/ Sam recommended Weetabix so I bought a humongous pack of it and I intend to mill through it next week...ha ha ha!
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our 2nd ultrasound tomorrow :) We get to see little No-Name again!
