12 Week Update {Baby B #2}

How Far Along: I am technically 13 weeks now, but when I took this picture, I was 12. Now that the cat is out of the bag, these updates will be on time.

Weight Gain: As of my 2nd OB appointment on Tuesday Sept. 22, I had lost a pound. I love the fact that I can compare to my first pregnancy because at this point with Bennett I had gained 1 lb.....  

Symptoms: Nausea, heartburn, exhaustion. Those have been the norm the past 6 weeks. As of week 12, I started feeling lightheaded too. Definitely, very different from my pregnancy with Bennett! Weeks 6-10 with Babe #2 were rough, but lately the nausea has been on and off. Fingers crossed the nausea will go away completely very soon!

Cravings/Aversions: No Cravings, no aversions. Nothing in particular makes me feel sick other than just being too hungry, too full, or too tired, which is 95% of my day:)

What I am Missing:  Tailgating is difficult (ie, boring) without alcohol:) Other than that, not really missing anything. 

Size Of Baby: Size of a Lime or Large Plum. Around 2 inches long and half an ounce

Sleep: Sleep has been great! No issues here. I am normally so exhausted by the end of the day that the minute my head hits the pillow, I am out. Not even needing to get up to use the bathroom, yet. As of right now, I can usually make it through the entire night.

Clothing: No Maternity Clothing here yet
 

Gender: Not sure yet. Based on how I have been feeling, I would say Girl. But, I go back and forth on Gender predictions

Nursery: Not started, not even close

Baby Purchases: No purchases. Probably won't for a while, at least until we know if Baby is a boy or a girl

Best Moment This Week: Hearing baby's heartbeat at our Dr. appointment. I hate this early phase, before you feel movement, you really have no idea what is going on in there!

Big Brother: Bennett definitely understands that there is a baby in there. We talk about a baby brother or sister with him a lot. And if I lift my shirt up to show my belly (which is non existent so far) he will pat it with his hand and say baby??

Looking Forward To:  Feeling movement, starting to show a bump
