Coming Soon in 2012

Come February 2012 we’ll be adding a new little person to the family. And so we’re back to weekly (hopefully!) updates on how things are going. And there is no picture this week because having a toddler and two parents who work full time (and one who is coaching this semester) and getting a house ready for an open house makes for a busy week with only enough time to catch up on Bachelor Pad in increments and eat no-bake cheesecake after the kiddo is asleep. Next week there will be a picture!

• How far along: 12 weeks. 
• How big is the baby:  Just over 2 ounces or about the size of a lime.
• Total weight gain/loss: No gain yet! Hoorah! But there is definitely a bump on the horizon.
• Morning sickness: Yes. Since around week 6 or so. It used to last all day but the past few days it has been concentrated in the afternoon/evenings. It’s mostly just nauseousness though.
• Stretch marks: None from this kid.
• Best moment this week: Not throwing up after I devoured chedder-jalapeno kettle chips.
• Food cravings: How about food aversions? Nothing sounds good, except everything else I see after I’ve already planned dinner. I think it’s impossible to stick to a grocery budget when you’re pregnant because all I want to do is scratch dinner and order takeout.  
• Gender: We will find out in September/October.
• Labor signs: Nope.
• Belly button in or out: In.
• Current mood: Eh. This is a busy season for us. I’m just plain tired.  
• What I miss: Not feeling sick.  
• What I am looking forward to: Colder weather. I am so over summer. And selling our house. Please Lord, help us sell our house.
• Milestones: We had our ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and this kiddo is a mover and a shaker just like Tessa. The little munchkin wouldn’t stop moving around the whole time. How much fun is this going to be? : )
