Imagine my surprise when I was lounging on the couch one night last week and all of a sudden...BAM! It's still extremely light, and barely noticeable, but it's definitely happening! 

Food cravings: I drove 70 miles to get lunch at this ridiculously awesome place on Saturday. It's my favorite place to eat and it's a damn good thing there isn't one closer, or I'd be a fatty. (Plus it was my dad's birthday, and it's right down the road from his house) ;)

12 Weeks (and an explanation)

Well, I think it's time I do a little explaining...
When I was pregnant with my first, I didn't have a job, and I didn't have a car. For a while in the beginning, all I had was a computer with free (read: crappy) wifi, no tv, no cable, nothing. That being said, I had a LOT more free time on my hands to blog. These days, I have a job (one in which I work 50+ hours a week) a car, a tv, cable, and not so crappy wifi. (Also, Pinterest exists, enough said) 
So please forgive me if I don't get around to blogging much more than my weekly updates. ;)  

 How do you like the kiddo photo bomb? lol

How far along? 12 weeks!

How big is baby?  2.1 inches & .49 ounces! The size of a plum :) 


Total weight gain/loss: Around 7 lbs, I blame this on quitting smoking and ALWAYS being hungry.  

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity slacks for work, one pair of maternity jeans, one pair of cords (thanks Lindsey) and a beband to get me through the rest of my wardrobe while I still can. 

Sleep: Sleep is my favorite, I'm having no trouble in that department especially since I inherited a pregnancy pillow from Lindsey. I slept with it Saturday night for the first time, and oh Holy Jesus, it was phenomenal! 

Movement: Nope, not yet! 

Food cravings: Chocolate milk & sugary cereal (not together!)

Total weight gain/loss: Around 5 - 7 lbs, depending on who's scale I'm standing on.  

Maternity clothes? I have one pair of maternity slacks for work, that I'm loving. They are full panel though, so I'm having to fold it over since it's obviously too big. I'm also LOVING my Beband. Today I broke down and bought a pair of maternity jeans! I'm sick of having to readjust my pants and the ponytail holder keeping them up. 

Sleep: Sleep is my favorite, I'm having no trouble in that department ;) 

Movement: Nothing real yet, definitely some phantom kicks though, which is super weird.
