Baby G #2 {12 Weeks}

It has been a CrAzY 4 weeks around here! School has started back and is DEFINITELY in full swing. It is keeping me busy, busy, busy and I have been very tired! I am hoping that things will soon settle and my energy level picks up as I prepare to move into the 2nd trimester.


How Far Along: 12 weeks

Symptoms: Fatigue (Mostly from starting school.)
This pregnancy has been completely different so far. With Levi, I was sick from about 6 weeks to 13 weeks and it was ALL day EVERY day. Thank goodness this one is so much better.

Cravings/Aversions: Sheet Cake (white cake with buttercream frosting), chewy candy (Air Heads, Skittles, Chewy Spree, etc.)
Aversions: Sheet Cake (white cake with Cream Cheese frosting)! DISGUSTING!!! As much as I used to LOVE a Diet Coke...I can't stand the thought of it at all!

Size of Baby: Currently the size of a lime.

Sleep: I am definitely enjoying my sleep these days. My trips to the bathroom during the night have dwindled and I am ever thankful!

Workouts: Nothing new here. Between work and home I feel like I am constantly working out. Ha!

Clothing: Again, this pregnancy has been completely different in SO many ways. I feel that I am showing sooner than I did when I was pregnant with Levi. I began wearing maternity clothes at week 20 with Levi but I have already pulled out a few basics for extra comfort. I must say that this worries me just a bit!

Gender: It is still too soon for us to find out but...only 3 more weeks! We cannot wait! We will be finding out September 12th at 1:00. AAAHHH!
Jason and I go back and forth with our preconceived notions. Our guesses change daily and sometimes hourly.

Nursery: No plans yet. We have started cleaning out our guest bedroom which will soon become Levi's big boy room. I also may or may not have picked up a few things for his new room! Nursery renovation will begin after Project Big Boy Room is complete. Oh my goodness...lots to do in a short amount of time. Only 6 months...holidays and birthdays, school, gymnastics, weekend trips with friends...it's about to get even crazier around here!

Best Moment this Week: Since my last post, we have heard our sweet baby's heartbeat twice. It is one of the sweetest sounds! Levi is so precious and never ceases to amaze me. He was taking a split second of his day to listen to all of our hearts. He proceeded to place his plastic stethoscope on my tummy to listen to the baby's heart. He heard it...it said "boom, boom!" Be still my heart!

  1. I'm also pregnant with #2 and cake was my biggest craving last week! I finally caved and made some funfetti cupcakes :)

    You asked about the Touch and Feel flashcards in my post last week so I thought I'd leave you the Amazon link. My daughter has had so much fun with them! http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=touch+and+feel+flashcards
