We are Pregnant!! (12 weeks)

Guess what my friends?! 

We are pregnant! 



It has been so hard to keep it from all of you for all these weeks. But I wanted to be safe since I kept having cramps, but I guess it is all normal. 

We are just so excited for another baby! Words can not express it. 
We have a 5 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. 




How far along:
12 weeks

Baby growth:

My baby is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces

Most of the critical systems are fully formed

Baby is now developing his/her reflexes, if you poke him/her, he/she may likely move.

Baby is now opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes

Baby's brain is developing fast



Symptoms: 
I am constantly tired and out of breath. I can not stand for a long time without feeling faint. I have to sit down to do my hair and makeup.

I usually throw up in the evenings after dinner. 


Total weight gain/loss:
Non yet, still 145 



Maternity clothes? 
I bought a black maxi dress (for my weekly photos)

But other then that, I am still in my regular clothes. 
But jeans are not comfortable anymore, so I am in skirts and dresses for the most part, which is fine with me since it is summer. 


Stretch marks? 
No, I bought myself this oil, but have not started using it yet.
I haven't gotten any stretch marks with my first two pregnancy since I always used some sort of lotion.



Sleep: 
I sleep fine, I just can't seem to get enough of sleep. I actually look forward to getting the kids to bed just so I can go to sleep.


What I miss:

Not feeling so sick to my stomach and so tired all the time.


Movement: 

None so far. 


Food cravings or aversions:

I only want to eat fresh fruits like grapes and berries.
 All sight and smell of meat makes me sick to my stomach. 
But since I have to make the kids breakfast and lunch, I usually make something for myself while I am at it. Something like an english muffin, toast or croissant. 


Have you started to show yet: 
Yep, there is definitely a small bump.


Gender: 


 Unknown, will not know until 20 weeks! Boy or girl, healthy is all we want!



Questions or concerns this weeks:
Still nervous since I'm early-on in the pregnancy. I know I need to take it easy and rest when my body tells me I need rest. The housework will have to wait. 


Baby Buys:
I bought this diaper bag, I figured that it would be great for either boy or girl, it is huge, which will be great to fit the baby's cloth diapers. 




Thanks for visiting, and I hope you come along this amazing journey with me.
