I can't believe I am now 12 weeks pregnant! I have been counting down to now for a while and it feels crazy that it's finally hear. Poppy is now the size of a small lime. He is curling and uncurling his toes and fingers and his mouth is making sucking motions. Adorable!
I've been completely exhausted for the last two weeks. I can barely keep my eyes open most of the day and I've been heading to bed between 8:30 and 9.
The nausea is starting to get a little better, though it's still there. The other night I actually threw up a little while I was driving. I was coughing really deeply and started to choke. All of a sudden, I had a mouth full of vomit. I was in DH's car, so it took me a little while to find a bag to spit into. I was also on the highway and it was dark and rainy. I had to drive five more minutes to the next exit before I could finish puking. It was pretty pathetic.
Unfortunately, that wasn't even my most pathetic moment of the week. Last weekend, I was having another coughing fit when a little pee came out! It was completely horrifying. I wasn't expecting to have to deal with that until the 3rd trimester. Time to do those kegels!
Maternity clothes? Not yet, though I did buy a few cute tops last weekend and a pair of shorts and capris.
Stretch marks? I have small ones on the sides of my breasts. :(
