12 weeks

12 weeks pregnant - 28 more to go

How I am doing:

So far I have been feeling pretty good. The biggest difference up to now is how sleepy I am, which makes taking care of a 20 month old a little difficult. Of course I would like to nap every time he naps but then nothing would get done around the house. I nap when I can or when my body can't take it any longer and I just crash. I have been a little naseous but never actually got sick. More naseous than I was with John Brady...I have had many moments where I thought I was going to be sick but luckily never got sick.

Cravings:

I have been keeping up with my cravings from 7 weeks until now on my Iphone because I didn't want to forget. I think cravings are so funny and while I think about these foods desperately I rarely act on them, especially if they are supper unhealthy, which most of them have been. This is also different from my first ... I craved pretty healthy things with John Brady, other than cheesecake with strawberries?

Here is my list so far - breakfast foods, grilled sandwiches, red velvet donut, mozzarella sticks, veggie lo mein, pancakes, more donuts, more mozzarella sticks and orange juice!

What I miss most:

I don't really miss that much about life before pregnant because not THAT much has changed yet...I would say if anything a relaxing glass of red wine while watching a movie?

The baby:

Baby #2 is roughly the size of a lemon or the length of a vienna sausage and is now able to swall which i think is cool. Also, even though the baby is only the size of a lemon with their tiny organs already in place they are forming finger and toe nails this week. I can't imagine how small they are. The most amazing part is even though the baby is so small it actually looks like a baby now and not a peanut.
