12 weeks

12 weeks



1.     How far along: 12 weeks
2.     The baby’s size: somewhere between a lime and a peach (no specific fruit this week)
3.     Weight gain: -8 lbs.  I haven’t seen the scale go below 160 in over a year.  It took my 6 months to lose 11 lbs.  Get pregnant and lose 8 in 4 weeks.
4.     Best moments this week: I’ve started to wear some of my new maternity clothes.  They are super comfortable and love seeing the bump.
5.     Food cravings:  cookies and cream milkshakes.  I feel like I can’t get enough of them.
6.     Food aversions:  Just about everything else.  Dinner is the worst.  Derek said Spaghetti O’s last night and I had to run to the bathroom.
7.     Looking forward to: Can’t really get past wanting the sickness to stop.  Got sick 5 times yesterday morning.
8.     Milestones:  Saw the baby yesterday.  It has the right mixture of Overstreet and Trevillian blood that it wouldn’t cooperate with the ultrasound tech.  She needed a picture with the baby in a certain position and the baby just didn’t want to do it.  The doctor also used this machine to listen to the heart beat and the baby swam away.  I have to go back on Friday to try again.  But it was awesome seeing the baby move around.  It did a bunch of punching moves.  We also saw the mouth moving as it was drinking fluid.
9.     The future dad’s thoughts:  He claims it’s all Trevillian blood (little does he know).

Aunt-to-be's thoughts:  Kelly was so awesome and invited me to her second ultrasound!  It was AMAZING!  This little baby looked exactly like a turtle :)
