12 Weeks (July 13 - 19)

I spent days thinking if I should buy those outfits or not and decided for the latter. I found out that they've added more stuff at the store right now and I'm just so glad that I got more choices. I realized I wouldn't be showing till the late fall anyway, so I think I should wait a little bit longer. I just couldn't resist those beautiful colors and I picked pinks 4/5. With my previous pregnancies, I just always get blues and blacks and right now those colors don't sound so good to me. I'm a natural pink person and I always wonder why I end up buying blues before. It's one of the biggest signs I missed when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. Hubby was always wondering why I'd pick blue over pink when we both knew I wanted and hoped for a girl. Of course I still can't say that it might be girl this time around. All I know is that I am crazy about pink lately especially the softest pink around like that Yoplait commercial.

So, for this week I'm still sleepy as always but I have a lot of trouble going to sleep at night. I'm just in a crazy cycle is all. I haven't had bananas lately 'coz it's making me puke. Sometimes, I really force myself to eat one because I know I need it especially now that I noticed it's been wet when I go #2. I stopped taking my prenatal vitamins this time too because each time I take it, I get nauseated immediately. It's probably the smell and the size. Too big to swallow! So, I'll ask my doctor on my next appointment if she can change the brand or something.

How's my baby growing:

Your baby's hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. Her face is beginning to look more human. Her eyes, which started out on the sides of her head, have moved closer together on her face, and her ears are near their final positions on the sides of her head. Your baby's intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into her abdominal cavity about now. Her kidneys are secreting urine into her bladder. Her nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly, and synapses (neurological pathways in the brain) are forming. Your baby may have acquired more reflexes by now, including sucking, and she'll even squirm if you prod your abdomen, though you still won't be able to feel her movement for several weeks.
