12 Weeks!!!

How far along: 12 weeks 0 days

Baby's size: Passion Fruit, almost three inches long weighing about .49 oz.
Baby's Development: The babies are now practicing grasping, sucking and even hiccups.  They can now feel when I put my hand on my belly and even wiggle or kick back although I can't feel it yet. 

Weight gain: 8 lbs.  No change this week, I guess that was a failure since I was supposed to gain 1lb a week in the first trimester.  I'm sure I will catch up.

Maternity clothes: Yes, mom and I went shopping last week for more maternity clothes.  They are so darn comfortable, why can't regular clothes feel like these?  Next is finding a Derby dress, there were a few at Motherhood that I will go back and try on in a week or so.

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding ring on or off: On 

Sleep: I flip and flop a lot and I have to get up and pee at some time during the night.  This morning it was before the alarm went off at about 5:50 so I just got up and started getting ready.
Symptoms: Geographic tongue is better now.  I am feeling more heartburn at random times during the day.  My rear is still very sore quickly in chairs.  I suppose it is from all the extra blood flow down there but it just aches.

Food cravings: Pickles, they are just so delicious for snack and they are a vegetable, right?

Food aversions: Protein bars.  I purchased some protein bars after tasting the ensure and disliking it.  The protein bars I bought had 20 grams which is a lot but they taste like saw dust.  Ick!

What I miss: Carrying groceries by the load.  I went to the grocery yesterday but I was a good girl and only carried two bags at a time which meant I made a lot of trips back to the car. 

Movement: I have flutters that may or may not be them moving, they say with multiples that you can feel them a lot sooner.  I will be glad when I can so my mind will be put at ease on a daily basis.

Mood:  I have gained a little patience back this week.  I was able to relax and help Kyle put his inversion table together last night. 

Best moment this week: 12 week milestone of course!  Today is a really important day for us and we made it here with no real issues.  Keep the prayers coming because we still need them to make it to 35 weeks which is September 9th for those that are wondering.  Something tells me we won't make it there, I'm thinking more like 32 weeks which is August 19th.

Looking forward to: Our next appointment with Dr. Jamie.  I am so grateful that we have had ultrasounds every two weeks thus far.  I'm not sure I would have truly believed we were having three babies if I hadn't been able to see them so often and hear all three heartbeats.  There is something good about being high risk! :)
