12 weeks

 Had my 2nd appointment this past Monday. I'm officially 12 weeks today if you go by my Dr.'s stupid wheel thing but if you go by my ovulation chart then I'm 12 weeks and 1 day. Either way, I'm pretty excited about reaching the 2nd trimester next week. I got to hear the heartbeat at my appointment. That was pretty amazing. Jay almost cried but was so tired from working midnight - 8am that morning that he couldn't cry. My Dr. said I lost 6 and a half lbs. I'm pretty sure it's because I don't think I'm eating enough. I know it's not the morning sickness cause that's gone for the most part. I really only get sick now when I'm hungry and haven't ate yet. Even when I do eat, my stomach is growling like 10 minutes later. I really do eat though lol. Guess I will just try to eat more. 
      On another note, Jay and I picked out the play pen we are going to buy. It's super cute, we seen it at Toys R Us while shopping for Christmas presents. It's got a little monkey mobile on it and the monkey on the pad is really soft. That's really all for now, but here's a few things to keep you occupied until my next post!

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is almost 2.5 inches and she now weighs between 8 and 14 grams! In just three weeks, your baby's size has more than doubled and begins to look a lot more human. Even though you won't be able to feel your baby moving at this time, you can stimulate him and he will squint, open his mouth and move his fingers or toes.

By the end of this week, your uterus is too large to remain completely in your pelvis. You might be able to feel your uterus above your pubic bone. The uterus will continue to grow throughout your pregnancy and will return to its usual size within a few weeks after delivery. Before pregnancy, the uterus is almost solid and holds less than 0.3 ounces. During pregnancy, your uterus will become a thin-walled, muscular container that will hold the fetus, amniotic fluid and placenta. Before pregnancy, the uterus weighs approximately 2.5 ounces and when your baby is born, it will weigh almost 40 ounces!
