Week 12

This is my 12 Week Belly Shot

As your body begins to adjust to higher levels of hormones, you may notice your nausea tapering off. About half of pregnant women kiss regular morning sickness goodbye during the next few weeks (though queasiness can return periodically throughout pregnancy and an unlucky minority of pregnant women never get a break from it). Your baby has hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. This week, her face looks unquestionably human. Her eyes have moved closer together, and her ears are right where they should be.

Wow. Another week! This pregnancy is going too fast. I had a couple of good days last week, but today I woke up and thought OMG I am going to toss my cookies. I felt like that all day. Yesterday was nice. I got to go shopping for maternity clothes, and I got some rocking good deals. I spent 130 dollars including tax at Old Navy maternity section on a pair of denim jeans ($19.99), a soft pair of beige cords ($30.00) , a white blouse ($15.99), a striped pink, orange and grey striped blouse ($15.99). A pair of houndstooth patterned ballet flats for $1.97!! and a green velvet handbag for $7.50! I also bought a non maternity black jacket with a corduoroy collar. LOVE it! That was $24.00. I had money to spare so I went to Payless and bought a cool pair of Airwalk mary janes in brown! Those were on sale for $28.00. So, it was a good day. Today I wore my mat pants, and striped blouse and I felt SOOOO comfy, and stylish. I straightened my hair and went to my cousin's little boy's 1st bday. Everybody told me I looked so nice. That made me feel really good. My tummy has popped out, and I look really pregnant which is fun. I am excited to have this baby, and I look forward to my doctor's appt on Wednesday. I hope we can hear the heartbeat. I know I will freak if I cannot. We are still working on names at this point. So far for a girl we have Cara Layne, and for a boy...Coleman Ralph. So, we will see how long these names last. I am sure we will make changes before May. Right now I am not sure what we are having. I banter back and forth. My Dad and my MIL asked if we could find out the sex, and I said "NO WAY". It will be a surprise like the other 4!!So, that is what is going on right now. I am exhausted today. It was a good day tho. I should take a 12 week belly shot to add in here. I will get Cliff to do that.
