12 Weeks

How Far Along?   12 weeks 4 days.  3 more days until 2nd trimester.

Symptoms?  This week has been better as far as nausea and fatigue.  It's still not gone completely but last week was sooooo much worse!  Oh it was terrible.   It was like 24/7 barfy feeling.  This week, it's mostly been queasiness at night.  So that's been nice.  Emotional "symptoms" are flaring up this week though.  I have been feeling very overwhelmed.  And I'm struggling with scary thoughts.  Every time I pee and wipe, I expect blood.  It's easy for people to tell you not to think that way and that everything will be ok but people don't know. Last pregnancy, I swear I had PTSD from infertility.  This pregnancy, I think I have PTSD from my last pregnancy.

Cravings/ Aversions?  I think this is starting to get better too.  I went to the grocery store yesterday and my cart was filled with fruits and veggies. I cooked chicken and bacon at lunch time and made chicken bacon sandwiches with lettuce and veggies.  Of course by dinner, I was back to wanting just cereal.  But I'm moving in the right direction.

Sleep?  Meh.  About as good as can be when you're pregnant and caring for your 8 month old beebee!  I'm tired, yes, but doing ok!

Goals for the Week?  I joined the gym yesterday.  I would like to make it there a couple times.  I don't have real high expectations yet since I'm still not feeling great but maybe a swim or a bit on the bike or something would be therapeutic!

Mason?  He is everywhere this week!!!  A little crawling Machine!  It's like he went from kinda crawling a tiny bit to moving everywhere like a pro overnight. Also, 2 teeth have broken the gums on the bottom.  And he's got one little white dot on the top...but it hasn't broken through the gums yet.  Oh, he's also kneeling.  He'll pull himself up to a kneel when he's playing at his standing toys!  He's having trouble sleeping all the way through the night without waking. But I think it's because of teething. But overall, he's my happy boy!!!
