Baby is the size of a lime!
Mom is feeling...
Great! I haven't had any morning sickness at all, which has been a major blessing! It also makes me nervous, though, not feeling anything. I really don't have any symptoms other than some cramping (weeks 3-6), exhaustion (mostly in weeks 7-8), constantly having to use the restroom (weeks 5-9), and THIRST (weeks 7-current). I have been grateful for the minimal symptoms, especially because dealing with morning sickness while teaching would have been hard!
Food cravings/aversions:
My aversions aren't too bad. It's not that I get sick when I eat certain foods, I just think about eating them and they seem nasty. The most surprising has been that I don't seem to want burgers or coffee anymore. Meat in general has been a bit of an aversion. Recently I've been craving bagels and breads a lot (not great for the baby weight haha), and yesterday Austin had to order me a pizza because that is ALL I wanted! He got Freebirds, which I usually love, but I didn't even want to look at it.
Wearing the shirt Lindsay made me for Christmas!
Bump update:
No bump yet, just some bloating...which has been with me for a few weeks now. I feel like my belly looks bigger at the end of the day, but that's probably just from the pizza ;).Gender thoughts:
I keep thinking boy for some reason!
Recent events and happenings:
We just returned from Austin, TX, where we spent a late Christmas with Austin's family. It was a lot of fun! We went to Mozarts, which is a dessert and coffee place that's outdoors with a light show, and that was a lot of fun. We also ate at my favorite restaurant--Hula Hut! At the end of our time there we all went ice skating (pictured above). I was careful not to fall ;). It was great seeing all of Austin's cousins again. Some of them live in Austin, and others in Oklahoma, so it's not often we're all together.
Looking forward to...
My appointment next week! It will be my 12 week. We don't get to have a sonogram, since we've had 2 already, but my doctor will listen to the heartbeat with the doppler. I can't wait to hear it again!
