Week 12

Week: 12

P Size: About the size of a large lime

Total Weight Gain/loss: +5

Stretch Marks: none

Maternity Clothes?: Yes for work pants may be this week for jeans...we will see!

Sleep: Not so tired any more and I am sleeping through the night with the exception of one time wake up for the restroom break and sometimes eating.

Movement: Still too small to feel but think Little P had the hiccups at the ultra sound last week...P is so cute already!!

What I Miss: Warren a lot!!!

Status of the Button: Very In

What I'm Looking Forward to: 12 appt. and first prenatal massage.

Best Moment this Week: The reunion is over!! Thank goodness! But it was really good to see a bunch people from high school.

Preggers Bod-New and Exciting!..maybe?: Look much larger in then evening than in the morning. Boobs are starting to sore in the mornings again.

Hormone Craziness?? (I am adding this because it is necessary:)) Poor Warren! I have had a couple freak outs in the last week. It is because I miss him so much but I do realize after the fact that he is just as upset as I am about having to be gone! Sorry honey!

P Milestones: Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, the toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and the mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response (Baby P did this at the ultra sound last week!), although you won't be able to feel it. The intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into the abdominal cavity about now, and the kidneys will begin excreting urine into the bladder (little P's was already full last week!). Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. The face looks unquestionably human: The eyes have moved from the sides to the front of the head, and the ears are right where they should be.

Food Cravings: Still grilled cheese and milk...yum! Or grilled cheese with ham!

How's the W?: Good but missing home and he was sad he had to miss the last ultra sound but did call and get to hear the heart beat over the phone.
