12 Week Update!

How far along: 12 weeks! Our little babe is the size of a lime! That seems huge considering the first update I got, he/she was the size of an apple seed!

Sleep: I sleep as often as possible! I'm slowly gaining my energy back! I still get really tired if we have a busy day, and I'm usually beat by the end of my 12 hour shift.

Symptoms: Still dealing with some nausea but it is definitely getting better! Lots of heartburn and acid reflux! Oh, and I smell everything!

Food Cravings: The only thing that sounds appetizing is cereal. I really don't have much of an appetite. I eat a couple small meals a day and by "meal" I mean a bowl of cereal or a yogurt. I'm still not back up to my pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm sure the pounds will be coming soon!

Name: Just "Nugget" for now. Our family has picked up the nickname and I think that is the cutest thing!

Gender: Mark and I have felt strongly it was a boy since the beginning. The general consensus among friends and family is that it's a girl! Either way we just want a healthy baby!

Movement: Not for a few more weeks!

Best Pregnancy Moment: My mom read to me constantly when she was pregnant with me. I have to attribute that for my love of reading. We were at their house a few weekends ago when she grabbed my favorite Dr. Seuss book (one that was mine many years ago) and read Nugget "Are You My Mother?" It was so sweet and special, I hope our sweet baby enjoys reading as much and me and his/her grandma does!

What I Miss: Sushi and raw oysters!

What I'm Looking Forward To: Or next appointment is in a few weeks and I really hope we get to see our little one!
