12 Weeks

How far along? 11 weeks 6 days so I decided to skip 11 weeks and go right to 12. It is tough to get these on the exact day! 

Weight Gain? I am bloated a lot so I know I have already gained some I just don't know how much. My belly definitely popped out this week! Much faster than with Noah which is exciting and scary. How big will I get?!

Workouts? I thought it would be fun to add this in since I do LOVE fitness. This week I have been doing cross fit classes and spin classes. Listening to my body of course but feeling awesome when I get in a good workout. Completing more cardio this pregnancy because of my spin classes and half of cross fit is cardio so I think that will be really good for me in the long run! 

Maternity Clothes? Today was the first day I tried on a pair of maternity jeans I got from Old Navy when I was pregnant with Noah. I loved them but quickly outgrew them.  I was pleased to see they fit better this time! I don't need to wear maternity yet as my jeans still fit and button but my belly is growing quick so it's getting a little uncomfortable. Last time I remember dreading the thought of maternity clothes but this time I don't care as long as I'm comfortable! I'm in workout clothes most of the time anyways.

Sleep: Still tired as heck most days but sleeping well at night! 

Best Moment This Week: The best part of this week is having my belly starting to stick around. I am ready to be out of the awkward phase! 

Cravings: Still loving cereal and my vodka pasta! 

Symptoms: Exhaustion and a big appetite. Especially in the morning. I usually have 2 breakfasts! I've been making egg whites, 1 egg and veggie scramble paired with a carb first thing and then having a shake an hour or so later. Trying to make healthy choices. I am having ligament pain here and there already. I asked my doctor about after I first noticed it when I was exercising a few weeks ago. She explained that before this would happen later in pregnancy but since I've already been stretched from a previous pregnancy that this pain will begin sooner and any weird move can cause it. I felt it earlier putting away dishes! So thank you Noah for making mama hurt sooner than last time. haha! 

Looking Forward To: feeling the flutters and kicks! Since I am growing faster I am hoping to feel it a little sooner this time.
