12 Weeks

Tiffany I think I'm going to steal the way you do your pregnancy updates, I really like the way you do it. I hope you don't mind!! :)

I can't believe that I am already in the 12th week of this pregnancy. I remember with Connor each week felt like it was dragging and when I was six weeks I was ready to be done just because I wanted to have my baby already lol. I know I have been horrible with the promised updates, but I am determined to turn over a new blogging leaf!! Enjoy my update!!

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 12 weeks

Size of baby: Baby #2 is about 2.1 inches long (the size of an average plum) and weighs .49 ounces

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1 pound so far. With Connor I only gained 18 pounds total and with my weight I'm only suppse to gain 10-15 pounds so I plan on working really hard to be successful in this area again

Clothes: Still wearing my normal clothes. I didn't wear maternity till the 3rd trimester last time, so hopefully I can get away with normal clothes for a while again

Gender: Unknown at the moment but we definitely plan on finding out so I can let my A-type personality take over haha

Movement: I have not noticed any as of yet

Sleep: I normally don't sleep very well normally and that has carried over into pregnancy. I normally wake up 1-3 times a night

What I miss: I can't say I really miss anything at the moment

Cravings: I don't crave a lot of the same thing, but I do have major cravings. One week it was Cherry 7up, this week it's pickles

Symptoms: Lol I have an abundance of them right now. Tiredness, moodiness, nausea, cramps, heartburn, food aversions, frequent urination...I could probably go on

Moment this week: I have already taken the one hour GD test and I failed. My midwife gave me the option of taking the 3 hour test or testing my blood gluclose at home for two weeks and having her examine my levels. I chose the second option. I know I'm gonna fail the 3 hour test and I'd rather just skip that step and be proactive. I had gestational diabetes with Connor and failed my tests at 14 weeks last time. They think that because of the PCOS I have insulin intolerance, but I was not tested after I gave birth last time because I wasn't here with my regular doctor. I will definitely remember to ask to be tested this time around and hopefully get it under control so I can have an easier pregnancy next time (if there is a next time)

What I'm looking forward to: finding out the sex. My hubby was deployed when I had my big ultrasound with Connor so I'm very excited for him to experience the ultrasound when I'm further along.

Milestones: I had my first ultrasound last week and we got the see the heartbeat and we got to see our baby :) I will post pictures when i finally get around to scanning them onto the computer
