We made it! According to the world wide web, 12 weeks is about the time most people feel comfortable making pregnancy official. Apparently you aren't really pregnant until Facebook knows. If that's true, I've been pregnant for a few years now because FB has kindly taken to advertising fertility herbs and baby yoga and since I approached my late 20s. While I appreciate FB's "ticking biological clock" advertisements I think I'll reveal all next week after my 12 1/2 week scan is complete. I know I know, get on with it already, but the W^3 will be aware soon. Here's a fun fact, it looks likes this blog has been viewed like 18 times in Vietnam. Not kidding! I would officially like to say:
"Chào mừng bạn đến 18 người theo tiếng Việt của tôi ... hoặc một đầu đọc phía đông nam châu Á rất đam mê."
or loosely translated:
"Welcome to my 18 Vietnamese followers... or one very passionate southeast asian reader/stalker."
As far as I know Baby A is developing well. Honestly I have NFI but I've been getting dizzy and fat so I think that's a good sign. I have to admit that I've also been a little more lenient with my eating this week. I had a salad with feta and bagels with cream cheese. GASP! Call social services! Granted, the salad only touched feta and I got the mini cream cheese tubs so they are freshly opened each time. Ok ok, maybe I'm being a wee bit anal retentive. But to make my point, let's look at when people say,
"Well back in my day we ate, drank, smoked whatever we wanted and my kids turned out fine!"Did they though? Did they really turn out FINE? Hello people!?!? It's 2014 and we STILL don't have flying cars. I can't speak for you but I for one am really counting on this future generation to give little Shaylalynn Jo her flying confederate flag decaled truck, Leif RainCloud his soaring VW Bus and Pat Ellen-Portia her airborne Subaru Outback. Now that's what I call FINE!
Jess reminded me that Baby will be born in time for Halloween! So please feel free to help with costume ideas. Baby will have a costume even if we only wear it around the house. It's not like I have a pet to torture and andy only lets me dress him up bi-annually... so Baby it's all you! Thanks to the addictive soul stealing Pinterest here are some top contenders:
Warning: Cuteness overload. Hold on to your ovaries ladies.
Unfortunately, unless I can find someone who can crochet (hint hint Jess) or sew (hint hint Karin) looks like this is #1 in the "Most Likely Costume to Actually Happen" category:
- How far along: 12 weeks
- Total weight gain: Actually down a lb, but pants are super snug
- Maternity clothes? Bought my first maternity t-shirt. Still too big.
- Stretch marks? No
- Sleep: Good
- Best moment this week: I learned a couple valuable lessons. 1: To avoid diarrhea do not eat 1/2 a bag of prunes in one sitting. 2: To avoid projectile vomiting don't scoff down a Macca's cheeseburger then run to catch the train. 3: To make your wrestling weight class disregard aforementioned warnings
- Miss Anything? Energy
- Movement: Not yet
- Food cravings: Mac n' Cheese... can't wait to get the TMNT ones in the US!
- Anything making you queasy or sick: Sitting for long periods of time... especially after eating
- Gender: Hmmm... think it's a girl but keep referring to it as a "he". Major gender identity confusion?
- Labor Signs: No
- Symptoms: Dizzy, fatigue, bakers dozen muffin top, bloat, nails nice and thick
- Belly Button: In
- Wedding rings: On
- Mood: roller-coasterish
- Looking forward to: being home alone (+ fetus) this weekend with Thai and TV
