12 Weeks

Today marks the end of the first trimester. I was reflecting today on how fast it went by and I think it's simply because life is so busy you don't have time to stop and think. With Hannah I lived up North. I went to work and came home and talked to Tim. That was about it. With Jack I only worked 2 days and Hannah still napped so I had two hours every day to sit and think about my sweet baby growing. Tatum Tot 3 and I don't even go to the bathroom alone so the days move fast and here I am 12 weeks! Good news is I'm feeling less sleepy. First trimester I felt a slight steady nausea throughout the day. Between 1-4pm I felt so tired, like sleepy tired. I think I'm on the upswing. Woo Hoo. Also different is how fast I am showing. With the first two I swear I could have hidden the belly until 16-18 weeks. I am officially showing to anyone who knows me. I was at the park today and ran into a mom I met two years ago through Singers and Dance. I ended up telling her, and she laughs and says "I totally thought you were just bloated." I've always thought months 4-5 are the most awkward. You're not a 'cute pregnant lady' you just look like you ate a huge lunch. I can't fit into my regular pants, yet I'm not ready for full blown maternity wear, hence most days my pants are unbuttoned and no one knows the difference. Shhh, our secret. Today I had my third ultrasound. Baby looks great. Heart rate was 159 and they were waving to us the whole time. Hannah, Jack and Tim were all there as well to wave back. I also did the first trimester blood work to screen for Down Syndrome and a few other disabilities. Fingers crossed it all comes back great. The hematoma is still there, but getting so much better. I'm sure by the 20 week scan it will be totally gone.

Month 3 Bump Watch


The wave. I love this pic


Cousin Ben will be here any day (Due tomorrow) so Auntie Katie and I were happy to get one photo of the babies in the belly together. Hannah and Weston love each other like siblings and they are 9 months apart. I hope Ben and Baby 3 have the same kind of relationship.
