We Made It!

We've officially made it to 12 weeks!  Only a few short weeks ago I wasn't sure that we would make it this far.  I'm getting pretty confident that we're going to see this journey to the end!  We haven't had a doctor's appointment since 8 weeks and we won't be having one for about another 4 weeks.  I can totally see why "neurotic" moms-to-be buy dopplers to maintain a little sanity between appointments.  We'll be going in for a gender scan in about 4-5 weeks.  Below is a template which I stole from another pregnant friend's blog as it really captures where we are!  Enjoy the update!

• How Far Along: 12 weeks, 2 days
• Size of baby: size of a plum!
• Maternity Clothes: loving my maternity pants, they're so much more comfortable!
• Gender: We'll know in about a month!
• Movement: Nothing yet but I'm not expecting any for another 4-6 weeks
• Sleep: I am always so tired!  I seem to get a pretty restful sleep lately.
• What I miss: Diet Coke, I miss it so badly!  It used to be my "cheat food", I don't really like soda otherwise.
• Cravings: Nothing too specific this week 
• Symptoms:Exhaustion, mild night nausea, hunger, super smell ability
• Milestone: Reaching 12 weeks!  Now our risk of miscarrying is down to 3%
• Best Moment this week: Getting to tell my work friends that we're expecting.  I didn't have enough baggy shirts to keep hiding it!
• What I'm looking forward to: My belly growing more and telling everyone else on May 18th

Below is an ultrasound video of a baby who is now at the same age as ours!
