Bumpdate: Week 12

How far along? 12 weeks 

Total weight gain: 6 lbs

Maternity clothes? I have officially started wearing maternity pants. Im still wearing most of my regular blousy shirts at this point but a few of the maternity tops have started making their way into my regular wardrobe. My bump is noticeable at this point, but still not quite big enough that the maternity tops look cute yet. We are definitely getting there though. 

Sleep: Still depends on the night. I still get up fairly often to go to the bathroom, but this week the more frustrating night time experience lately has been learning to not sleep on my stomach. No matter how I fall asleep I still wake up fairly often on my stomach and flip myself over. 
New this week: My tummy is starting to feel heavy. Like rolling over in the middle of the night it feels heavy under me as I turn over. Its a strange feeling.

Best moment this week: I slept through the night for the first time in 8 weeks this week. It was a truly glorious feeling. I slept from about 12:30 until 7:30 without getting up. It was so amazing to wake up feeling rested. Im looking forward to the end of this week when the second trimester moves in and little Mervin moves up and I can use the bathroom every hour instead of every 20 minutes haha. 

Miss Anything? Being able to eat 3 meals a day and not feel sick in between. I think the hardest thing has been not being able to just eat when I am hungry and that be it. I have found that if I get hungry at all I get sick, and then I have to eat even if I feel sick which makes it super hard. 

Food cravings: Still changes daily. I havent had anything really consistent. We just usually make a trip to the store whenever I figure it out. Today its spaghetti so the pot of sauce on the stove downstairs is smelling absolutely amazing right now. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Random smells. Like today it was the smell of our bedroom. Doesnt smell any different than yesterday, but made me gag hardcore. Yesterday it was the smell of the refrigerator. Not sure what was in there but I couldnt open it. So smells. Smells make me sick.

Wedding rings on or off? On! 

Looking forward to: Our 14 week appointment. We should get a sonogram this time, and we will get to hear the heartbeat and see our little Merv. We are so excited about that!! 

And thats the bumpdate!
