Well, I’m in week 12 and my little JuJuBee is the size of a
plum…
Soooo super cute! 12
weeks and is already looking like a tiny little human! I got this from our 1st Trimester
NT screening to check for any indications of chromosomal defects. Looks perfect to me! In fact, I just got the call that all results
are NORMAL! That totally made my day. We also got to hear the heartbeat! 151 beats per minute of horse-galloping
goodness!
I’m still tired all of the time. Some nights I’m in bed before my kids! The nausea has pretty much subsided though,
so that’s a plus. I’m starting to feel
my waistline expand too…I’m doing the ol’ “hair tie through the belt loop”
trick to get some more wear out of my clothes.
I’m right on track though, I think.
The IBS is definitely helping on that front. Still no constant cravings, although I have
been wanting a chili dog. Nothing fancy,
just a hot dog with Hormel Chili (I know, random). I read that I can have hot dogs as long as
they are cooked to steaming hot and Kenny is the only one I trust to be able to
do that, so maybe we can burn some on the grill this weekend.
I’ve got my monthly check-up on Tuesday. I’ll have to talk to the doc about this
random pain I’ve been having right where my thigh meets my pelvis. It was
actually painful to sit down for any period of time a couple of days ago. My bones have been hurting too, but Kenny
says that’s because JuJuBee is sucking all of the calcium out of them. Might be true, which is why I got Kenny to
buy me some Nesquick. It even has
“Authentic Latin Flavor”. WHAT!?!? You can’t make that up. Turns out they added cinnamon to it. Learn something new every day.
I can’t wait to hear the heartbeat again. That sound is like
music to my ears! I’m almost out of the
1st trimester, so I’m hoping some energy returns along with it!
