How Far Along: 12 and a half weeks
Size of Baby: A plum!
Appointment Updates: Today we had our second appointment. The baby cooperated and I got to hear the heartbeat immediately. It's heartbeat is a healthy 165 beats per minute. I am also doing great in the weight area which is a relief for me. Josh left work early just to make the appointment but we caught each other in the stairwell walking out. Poor Daddy was bummed he didn't get to hear our little one!

Symptoms: The lovely symptom of constipation has not subsided. What used to work in the past (i.e. fast food, chocoloate milk, hot chocolate) doesn't seem to work anymore so I am trying some pills. Over the past month I have started to get more headaches or head pressure. The pressure will even wake me up in the middle of the night which is frustrating. I am going to see a chiropractor tomorrow to see if they can relieve any of the pressure. Something I did not realize would happen is the shift in my hormones which means lack of patience and irritability. A good friend told me "Make every moment with someone a divine appointment not as an annoyance." I really hope to be able to remember this saying everyday at school and home. I am also slowly losing my mind which people told me only gets worse. Great!
What I Miss: Nothing at this point as I am feeling very blessed
Cravings: I feel like I crave something new or different everyday. One item that I am really loving is ice cream but particularly a vanilla cone from Dairy Queen with crunch.
Gross: For some reason chicken is hard for me to eat but it all depends on how it is cooked. Who knows, I might love chicken next week.
Week Highlights: On Saturday, I went shopping to Babies R Us with my Mom, Dad, and Grandma P. Surprisingly we did not even spend a penny but just had a great time looking forward to the future. It was great to look at strollers and cribs in person rather than the internet.
