This Week With Baby L

Pregnancy Highlights {This Week}:

How Far Along: 12 weeks day 4

Size of baby: Baby Lipscomb is about the size of a peach!

Movement: Not yet. I can't wait to feel those kicks again!

Sleep: As I inch near my second trimester, I'm able to sleep a little more comfortably. Thank God for pillows that I basically stuff around my whole body to stay comfortable. :)

Cravings: Chef Boyardee Spaghetti and Meatballs. So gross, I know! And cheese grits!

Belly button in or out? Innie

Symptoms: I feel like the morning sickness is getting a little better every day. I usually feel the worst at night, right before I go to bed. Blood sugar is getting better as I am learning to stabilize it. I have a headache almost every day now and I'm starting to get those round ligament pains (OUCH!!). My belly is starting to hurt every time I pick up Penelope or sneeze too hard. That, and I've already had a few Braxton Hicks! What?? I had no idea they started so early the second time around. I'm ready for that 2nd trimester feeling, for sure!!!!

Best Moment this week: DJ let me nap all weekend. I've been so tired lately that I can barely stay awake by the weekend. My body is totally exhausted! Is it sad that my best moments are when I'm asleep?! Ha! 


Crazy/irrational pregnant thoughts this week: that I had gained all 25 pounds already. I was so scared to weigh in today at the doctor. And, no, I didn't gain 25 pounds. :)


Had a great visit at Dr Barrett's today. She said my bloodwork looked perfect (yay for no anemia!!) and Baby L sounded great. I can't tell you how good it is to have an OB that I love and trust. If you are looking for a great OB/GYN, please go see her. She is so laid back and takes the time to sit and chat with you during every appointment. 


Other than that, we are just trucking along with this pregnancy. It is flying by this time. With Penelope, I thought I would never even see 14 weeks because I was so sick. My belly is growing so must faster, too! No picture today...I feel fat! haha I know you girls understand what I mean.
