12 Weeks 6 days!

I am 12 weeks 6 days today! Only 28 weeks left until we meet our little "plum".(that's the size it will be growing this week!). My bump is getting a little bigger and my pants are definitely tighter. I bought my first pair of maternity capris over the weekend. Now if it would just get warm enough to wear them! This momma to be to READY FOR SUMMER AND SUNSHINE!!!!!! I also ordered some other things from motherhood maternity.com and it shipped today. Yippee! Growing out of my clothes made me nervous at first but buying new things is always fun.

One thing I've noticed this week is that I am staying hungrier more often. I ate strawberries when I got home from work about an hour ago and now I am starving again! I am trying to hold off because we are going to eat Mexican with our friends in about an hour. Mexican food.. yummmm! This is also mine and Marissa's (my good friend from work) birthday dinner. I already had an awesome early birthday dinner with John R. and Katrina at the Cheesecake Factory on Saturday, but I am pregnant! I am allowed to have a few birthday dinners. =) Speaking of eating, I need to weigh myself again but I am really dreading it! I think I will just wait to be weighed at my 13 week dr. appt. on Monday.

I am excited about the appointment. I really hope we get to hear the baby's heartbeat again! And schedule the gender ultrasound. I am hoping to find out the gender by the end of April so we can have our gender reveal party in May! Katrina has so kindly volunteered to have it at her house. I am excited!

Anyway, here are my 12 week pictures followed by the survey! =)

How far along are you? 12 weeks 6 days

How big is Baby? Size of peach! 2.9 inches long

Weight Gain? Still about 4 lbs. I go to the Dr. today so I'm sure I will have an update!

 Gender? Momma doesn't have a preference! *Little girl clothing is very cute though! ;)

Maternity Clothes? Yes! I went to motherhood maternity and bought 2 pairs of capris and ordered some jeans and other things online. I also got all kinds of awesome new maternity outfits for my birthday! (Thanks Mom and Mamaw!!)

Stretch Marks? No, I am using Aveeno moisturizing lotion to hopefully prevent them.
 

Sleep? I am sleeping normal. This week my frequent bathroom trips are slowing down. =)

Symptoms at 12/13 weeks?

• Still have better smell
• Hungry more often
• Small bump

Movement? Last night (my birthday!) I thought I felt a little flutter but it was probably just gas.

Labor Signs? nope

Belly Button in or out? inny

What I am looking forward to? Finding out the baby's gender!!

Best moment of the week? The best moment this week was finding a crib we love at Burlington near Pittsburgh.
