11-13 Weeks
How far along? As you can see, I mashed a few weeks together.... 11-13
Baby size: At the time I'm writing, a peach.
Total weight gain/loss: I'm not really sure, but last Friday, the nurse told me I had lost some more weight.
Maternity clothes? I got my first pair of maternity pants in the mail... and OH MY GOODNESS. THOSE FEEL LIKE HEAVEN! Most of the time, I'm just wandering around with my pants undone, but I wear maternity stuff now if I have it/can. (Also, I might have bought one of the maternity dresses that Kate Middleton wore, and #1 IT'S BEAUTIFUL. #2 It's comfy as all get-out. Also, random, but it made me think of it... don't use bio-oil and then try to put on Sally Hansen's leg makeup to try and mask your pasty white legs. It will start to come off and you will start to look like an inverted tan Dalmatian.)
Stretch marks? Just the old ones.

Sleep: Bleh. I'm tired. BUT I'm waking up in the middle of the night more now. Sometimes to pee; sometimes my mind just wakes me up so that I can hyperventilate about all of the things I have to do, all of the things coming up to do, and all of the things I haven't/forgot to do. I told a friend today: I'm running on all cylinders and dropping all the balls.Best moment this week: So, I'm going to say seeing my baby on the ultrasound machine was the highlight of the last three weeks. OH MY GOODNESS. The 12 week ultrasound might just be my most favorite. It just seems to become so much more real. Let me tell you, baby is just like the "Big Sistah": Lazy, stubborn, and can get slightly irritable. Baby flat-out rolled over and put it's back to us at one point. But, we got a lot of good shots! Liked to keep hands and arms up near/above the face and head. Heartbeat was good, and everything looked and measured good. Believe me, I have been obsessing over these pictures.
Miss Anything? Some food. Not being as achy. Starting to miss sleep position options. (If I sleep on my back too long now, my extremities fall asleep.)
Movement: Still feel a little something here or there. Really only at night though. I've got too much going on during the day to pay attention.

Food cravings: Nothing really. Food is 'Eh.' I've been eating a lot of cereal. It tastes pretty good and the milk is supposed to help with this horrendous acid reflux I have going on.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Weird smells still aren't my favorite. FOR THE LOVE, KEEP THE BACON AWAY. No fried chicken.
Have you started to show yet: Yeah. Just a little bit.
Gender: Lord have mercy, I don't even know! I thought maybe boy? Then I was like, Oh, this one is totally a girl. Every old wives tale in the book comes up with a different answer. I think we're sitting at 50/50. Now I'm back to who knows?!!?! My opinions on the subject change daily. So, apparently, not me!
Symptoms: Tired. Brain-Fried. Slightly overwhelmed by life. A little bloated and puffy. I can't lay on my back or stomach comfortably anymore. Can get cranky. Weird dreams. BAD BAD BAD acid reflux. (I feel like a hole has been burned into my esophagus. (Is that how you spell that?! hunh.) Food is still 'eh. I should probably eat.'
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Well, our 5 year wedding anniversary is coming up, so there's definitely that. Then there's the IF:Gathering. (we're hosting a IF:Local at our church. Pretty excited.) AND the morning of IF:, I have my next doctors appointment.

Random Observations: Okay, so I brought Peyton some ultrasound pictures back from the last doctors appt. She liked the normal ones. We had a shot that was in 3D too, so I showed her that one. Her reaction (and I do not lie - I wish I could have taken a picture/video. It was hilarious.) *Absolutely horrified look* "EEEWWW! HIM'S UGL... Him wook STWANGE...." (Apparently she's figured out that calling someone ugly is not nice.) What can I say? Out of the mouths of babes... in her defense, it was a little bit weird to look at...
Yes, she called baby a "him," but no, we don't know what it is. She also says that this is her "Baby Sistah" and claims that we are going to name said baby Case Joy Heart. *eye roll* Lord, help me.
