12th Week Update

How far along? 12 weeks, Last week of the first trimester

How big is baby?  .49 ounces/ 2.1 inches plus legs!  The size of a plum

Weight gain since the beginning? +4 lbs (home scale)

Symptoms? Feeling pretty good, have most of my energy back, not feeling as tired as I did for most of the first trimester.

Sleep? Still waking up at 5am on the dot to use the restroom, and its starting to get harder to find a comfortable sleeping position

Food cravings? Not really craving anything specific   There have been some nights where I have to have a certain thing, one night it was spaghetti  another night it was Indian food.  

Movement? Not yet, but in the ultrasound on Tuesday we saw that the little one is quite the swimmer

Clothes?  Loose fitting clothing most days, need to purchase some bigger bras to be more comfortable.  

What I am looking forward to? Showing, actually looking pregnant and having a bump

Milestones? reflexes have begun! The little one's mouth is making sucking movements, eye muscles clench,  toes curl, fingers and hands open and close, and the baby may even begin to suck their thumb

Other?  We had our 12 week ultrasound this week and it was amazing to see the baby moving around turning upside , and to see the arms and legs and face profile
