12 Weeks Pic

Hot off the presses. Here's a couple from 12 weeks. I couldn't decide between goofy or normal... so I went with both! No real baby bump yet, though. At our 12 week appointment I had lost a little more weight, but you kind kind of tell where the baby is pushing up which is starting to make my food belly stick out a little more. Pleasant.



Also, why did no one tell me about maternity shirts before now? They're the most perfect shirts ever. I plan to wear them forever, pregnant or not.

 

 

Beating Hearts, Baby

Went to the doc today for our second check-up, and boy was it a quick one! I hope most of them are like that.

We did get to listen to the heartbeat which was fancy. I'll have a new chalkboard photo to post in a couple of days if I can bring myself to erase what was left from the first one.

Our next appointment is in June at 16wks. Then at the July appointment we'll most likely find out the gender. Hooray!

The Refrigerator Abyss/Problems from the Pantry

I work from home so everything I eat throughout the day comes from the things I can find around the house.

Since this whole pregnancy-thing started, I've had quite a few scruples with the fridge. Once it goes in.... it absolutely never comes out. This was generally true before of things we'd bring home from restaurants, but now it has extended to just about everything. Even things I just bring home from the store just sit in there. It's a complete waste any way you look at it and it makes me a sad panda.

I've also lost my desire to make food. I think this partially extends from my inability to cope with food in the fridge.

Now that I'm at 12 weeks, my ability to handle hunger has changed. Any time I start to feel hungry throughout the day I have to eat something in a pretty short time frame to keep from getting sick. This is becoming more of a nuisance since I'm having such a difficult time with keeping food around the house. If you have any ideas about what I can keep around the house (out of the fridge)... and doesn't require cooking or mixing, I'm all ears. Just keep in mind I'm trying to keep the salt and sugar at a minimum!
