How far along? 12 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: So far, I'm down about 14 lbs from where I ended cycle 10.
How much does Baby weigh?: about half an ounce
Maternity clothes? have been since week 5. I bloated a lot.
Stretch marks? I do, but they are from my weight gain last year. Slowly starting to fade.
Sleep: UGH...sore subject. My brain doesn't shut off until I've been laying there for like 2 hours. Even after half a tylenol pm (don't want to wake up groggy).
Best moment this week: finding the baby's heartbeat on the doppler and being able to pinpoint it for a few seconds. Still can't hear it. Also beyond excited to be out of 1st tri (I'm not waiting until 13w3d for that)
Movement: Just gas.
Food cravings: still anything sour and orange soda! (Ditto, T. Sugar turns me off big time.)
Gender: been thinking boy all along. Everyone else says girl.
Labor Signs: No, just cramps
Belly Button in or out? in
What I miss: I want a steak. Nice and juicy and medium/medium well. YUMMY!
What I am looking forward to: Finding out if my boy vibes are true and our next appointment on the 26th. Not doing anything exciting but its still showing so much progress.
How big?
As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed.
Now measuring between 2 and 3 inches from crown to rump, the fetus is busily doing his stretching and kicking exercises. All major organs are in place, and his brain, nerves, and muscles are starting to function. Although his gender was determined at conception, external genitalia won't fully develop for another couple of weeks. At that point, a sonogram may be able to show whether you're carrying a boy or a girl--if your baby will cooperate and face the camera!
