Week 12 Bumpdate

Post is a week late, will post my 13 week update tomorrow or Friday :)


Baby Jenkins #2 at 12 weeks ~


How far along? 12 weeks

Baby size: Baby J is about the size of a plum. 2.1 inches long and weighs around .49 oz

Maternity clothes: Yep, still able to wear some non-maternity sweats around the house. Other than that it's pretty much all maternity.

Stretch marks: I had horrible stretch marks with Meredith that never really went away. Luckily for now they are that horrible pink and purple they were with her. I keep lathering on the belly cream in hopes of keeping them at bay a little longer.

Sleep: Working 3 nights a week has my sleep schedule mixed up anyway. So I sleep pretty much whenever I can and get as much as I can :)

Gender: 7 more weeks and we should know. Still have a feeling its a boy though :)

Best moments of the week: 12 week doctor's appointment. Everything looks great and baby is growing right on schedule.

Looking forward to: Thanksgiving next week! Yummy food and great time with my family.

What I miss: my energy level is still a lot lower then it was before I was pregnant. I'm hoping I get a boost of energy here soon.

Movement: Not yet, hopefully soon though. I felt Meredith around 14-16 weeks, so just a couple more weeks to go.

Food Cravings: Steak! Anything red meat sounds so yummy.

Anything making you queasy or sick?: Chicken and I aren't getting along and this baby does not like Mexican food. Which is all I craved with Meredith :)

Labor signs: Nope not yet.

Symptoms: My morning sickness is finally starting to subside a little this week. I'm hoping the medicine they put me on continues to keep it away.

Belly button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Happy, but really tired this week.

Nursery: Meredith is still sleeping in the nursery. After the holidays are over we plan on moving her to the spare bedroom. The nursery is 100% complete if we have another little girl. If this one is a boy we have to re-paint the pink strips blue and buy blue accessories for the room. Shouldn't be to much work if a little boy decides to join our family :)
