I am bad at counting...12 weeks!!



I've always been bad at math...but I didn't know I was quite THIS bad! I had miscounted and I am a week farther along that I thought! 12 weeks today! This wonderful milestones means I'm not nearly as sick and tired....which is good...b/c I was sick and tired of feeling bad!!!

STATS:

*Still no weight gain (since the 2 or 3 pounds I gained at the VERY beginning). I understand that is pretty normal during your first trimester!

*Although I'm still at 24'' at the waist, I feel like the look of my belly has changed a bit. Like it's gone from a circle to an oval! I'm (sorta kinda) starting to get excited to see a bump in a few weeks!
I have never been much of a "shopper" (for which my husband is very thankful) so I'm not usually "up" on the latest trends. But based on the latest Old Navy commercials and some pretty sorority girls I've seen trotting around campus (lol)...it seems loose and flowing blouses are "in" this year!! That's great news for a preggers girl like me!!! Hopefully I'll be able to hide under pretty things like this for a while:
Tomorrow I have my FIRST doctor's appt! (I told them I didn't want to come in until I could "see" or "hear" something) So hopefully we will be able to see our little one and hear it's little heart beat! Thump Thump Thump! I am so excited!
Love,

NINE weeks


(please excuse my pj pants!)
STATS:
120lbs
24'' at natural waist
27" at belly button
Boobs: Unbearably enormous! I look funny in my clothes now and I find myself wearing sports bras! I can no longer run or workout without extreme pain. I want to breastfeed already!!!
Eating: Not much. I don't have an appetite for anything other than bland carbs....i.e crackers and cereal. Although I did pig out on potato chips and potato salad at a football tailgate yesterday.
Work Outs: Have gotten pretty wimpy. I'm used to working out pretty frequently and I find myself with little energy to do so in my down time. So I feel kinda mushy, but I keep telling myself I need the rest.
Clothes: Same clothes. I lost a little weight before I was pregnant so everything is still pretty loose. Good thing I never bought smaller sizes!
I am feeling nervous but starting to get excited for the little one to arrive. I've got boy and girl names picked out already!!! To be disclosed at a later date :)

Work

It's such a blessing to have a job in this economy! I feel really lucky to be in the industry that I'm in! But there are some mornings where I don't want to do ANYTHING! I'm so sleepy and yucky feeling. My house is slowly getting messier and messier too. I need a few personal days to clean...but I'm sure if I had personal days I would just sit on the couch and watch TV!

Knocked Up... Starting Stats

I am 8 Weeks pregnant.
Today I am 5'9'' and 120 lbs...I have gained 3 lbs.
My waist is one inch larger than it was pre-pregnancy measuring at 25''
My waist at my belly button is the same size, however, at 27''
I feel sick.
My boobs hurt.
And I am already fearing stretch marks...
I am told I'll need to gain more than the average 30lbs because my starting BNI was "underweight" ....we will see how that goes.
At first I thought it was a girl...
But I had a dream last night that I was holding a beautiful blonde baby boy....
I'm usually pretty spot on with my dreaming... :)
Wish me luck...
