12 weeks!


How far along? 12 weeks 3 days 
Total weight gain/loss: 6 lbs! the good news is that i only gained 2 lbs in the last 4 weeks. so if i can keep that up until 30 weeks then i'll reach my goal of 25 lbs at the end! bad news is memorial day weekend totally threw that all off!! :-(
Maternity clothes? all maternity pants! regular shirts still. bought some shirts since gap was having a good sale. and bought some maxi dresses/skirts over the weekend!
Stretch marks? none yet
Symptoms: belly looks/feels big but no real bump yet. just fat. and feel like eating everything!
Sleep:still sleepy but able to stay up later than last week. but at the same time having trouble sleeping if i wake up in the middle of the night. one day i woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep till 6!
Best moment this week: we announced our pregnancy on facebook this past weekend! it happened to be the hubs birthday so we thought we'd make an announcement with that theme. 
I posted this picture and said "Happy Birthday Albert! Your gift arrives in December!"

Also went to our NT scan today! The baby is looking good! it was so cool seeing the baby actually look like a baby, and see the baby move! the u/s tech said the baby was nodding its head alot. and we saw the baby waving its arms around too. We also might've gotten a picture of the baby sucking its thumb (not sure if its too early for that)! the baby is measuring 1 day older than my LMP due date which means 2 days older than the actual due date that i know from charting. Which means all the food i'm eating is making the baby bigger! haha oh well. Our risks for Downs and trisomy 18 is also very very low which was good. 
Movement: nothing yet!
Cravings: niu ro mein! (taiwanese beef noodle soup)!! my brother was nice and got me some on his way home for the weekend!! so good!
Anything making you queasy or sick: steamed broccoli and the thought of fish sauce! also i seem to be more sensitive to feeling sick when i don't eat regularly.  
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out? Innie 
What I miss: coffee!! i kind of had a moment when i missed alcohol this weekend. didn't drink much before pregnancy but i missed just being able to have a sip here or there!
What I am looking forward to: next appt is the 16 week appt. but we have already scheduled our anatomy scan for july 9th! that scan will be exciting! also will probably start looking more seriously about baby stuff!

Last but not least, some u/s pics! 




Thumb sucker maybe?
