12 weeks

I finally took a picture!  I've failed miserably at my vow to take a picture every week.  But maybe it's more effective if it's once a month.  Right.  That's what I'll tell myself.  I mean, let's be honest, how much of a difference can you really see in one week?

That is one DIRTY mirror.  Sorry.  Ew.

Mostly I just got fat in the last 5 weeks.  True story, I've already gained nine pounds this pregnancy.  NINE.  In 12 weeks.  Yikes.  If I'm hungry for even a second, I get so sick.  So...I stuff my face.  And nursing while pregnant gives you an insane appetite.  Right.  That's what I'll tell myself.  

The past week has been the worst so far.  For a few days there I was just worthless sick.  Like, couldn't get off the floor, couldn't move a muscle without being certain I was going to throw up.  But the past two days have been so much better.  Maybe I've finally reached that glorious second trimester break.  

We heard the heartbeat this week at the midwife's appointment.  It was music to my ears after a scare a few weeks ago.  Praise God for this precious little babe who seems to be growing just as he/she should.  Love you, sweet baby!
