Baby #4 Twelve Weeks

Arabelle and I went to the Dr today to check on the baby! He/she measured 12 weeks even and he adjusted the due date to 5/6/15. I think the 10th is about right, so I'm sure it will be a few days after that. 

Still sick, but some days aren't quite as awful. And some are still really awful. Hoping to come out of it soon though! I'm ready to feel like myself again and I'm sure the rest of the family feels the same way.

Here's a close up of the baby, which measured right at 2 inches long. The head is on the right (profile shot) with a hand up above the face.

We plan to find out the gender at the next appointment in 4 weeks!

12 Weeks

Here's the latest addition at 12 weeks! It's amazing how developed the baby can be so quickly!

Close up--I love that you can see the nose and mouth so clearly!

Pregnancy Highlights:

• How far along: 12 weeks, 2 days, based on the ultrasound today. The Dr. moved the due date up to May 12th, but I told him I'd see him on the 15th or after. ;) With Bo, he moved my due date up at the 12 weeks appt., but I still went several days past what I thought and 8 days past the measured due date. 
• Size of baby: The size of a plum. The baby measured just under 2.5 inches. 
• Total weight gain/loss: -2 lbs. I've gained 3 back in the last couple of weeks, so I'm going in the right direction!
• Maternity clothes: Not yet. Still fitting into my regular pants just fine, but I'm sure it won't be long!
• Gender: We'll find out at delivery!!! 
• Movement: I could have sworn I felt a little jump in there the other day when I was laying in the bed. I think it's too early, but we'll see.....the kicks will be regular in another month or so!
• Sleep: The exhaustion has improved so much! Staying up until 9:30-10 and getting up around 7. I don't need a nap anymore in the afternoons. ;)
• What I miss: running, enjoying food and water.
• Cravings: Nothing really. There are a few things that I can enjoy and everything else is still repulsive. I've eaten at Huddle House a few times the last couple of weeks....scrambled eggs, grits, and toast! The ranch dip that I loved so much 2 weeks ago is totally repulsive now. 
• Symptoms: nausea all day long still, not vomiting nearly as much (so thankful for that!!!), still feeling really badly in the evenings.
• Best Moment of the Week: Seeing the baby on ultrasound! Arabelle went with me and loved it!

Hoping to be feeling better when I go back to the Dr. in a month!

One more picture of the baby.....he/she had flipped upwards and was facing the u/s wand. The 2 dark circles are the eyes. Looks like a baby monkey to me! ha!

After the appt., Arabelle and I grabbed some breakfast. Chocolate milk and a waffle for Arabelle. She was SO excited about the chocolate milk!!
