Hi Baby :)

How far along? 12 weeks (according to O day.  The baby is measuring bigger and the edd the office is going by says I'm 12w2d-4d)

Total weight gain: Up to 122 as of my appt on the 10th

How big is baby? A plum :)

Maternity clothes: Seasons are changing so I haven't been able to rely on my dresses!  I'm also in between regular clothes and maternity clothes so that's been a little bit of a pain.  I bought 2 pairs of maternity jeans, though, and pulled out my old stuff.  It feels good :)

Stretch marks: None, yet!  I hope I don't get any more this time since I'm already stretchy :)

Sleep: Alright.  I get up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom though.

Movement: I've felt a few "wooshes".  That's the only way to describe it.  It was way, way low and not near my intestines....so I don't think it was gas :)  I haven't felt it in over a week though :(

Food cravings: Nothing really right now.  Maybe some pumpkin treats :)

Food aversions: Food is thankfully starting to get better.  Im not really thrilled about eating, but at least I can now.  I've had to cut out chocolate MUCH to my dismay.  It's been causing me to start cramping almost immediately after I eat it.  I have to make sure I avoid any type of cramping I can.  I tried 2 chocolate chips today.......and even that was a no-go :(

Belly button: Same

Symptoms: Exhaustion but most days are starting to look up as far as the general yuck goes.

What I'm looking forward to: Going to the bathroom because I have to pee haha.  Also, brushing my teeth...that's been happening several times a day because the taste in my mouth drives me crazy.

Also, also and more importantly, my appointment in 3 weeks.  I've been feeling like I've been having some braxton hicks already and some pressure/pain which is concerning to me bc it's mimicking the beginnings of when I had PTL with J.  I've decided to get t/v ultrasounds at each appointment to keep a good watch on cervical length.  Normal is 3-5 and I'm already at 3.5 this early on....It's hard not to worry.  Bonus with the appointment is....maybe we'll be able to tell if it's another boy or a girl.  I'm still thinking boy.

Weekly Wisdom: I feel like I should remove this category.  I never have anything to say.

Weekly joy: We had an event last night at church called groupLink.  We found a small group we're going to join and I'm really, really excited about it.  Everyone is younger and most have at least one child right around Judah's age.  It's going to be really fun to grow with my husband and just spend quality time reconnecting with him.  It's been so long and the daily grind has been....grinding.  It will be like a date night, every week, with the bonus opportunity to meet new friends that share our values and that are on a similar path.  I can't wait to soak it all in!
