Today our little baby is 12 weeks old. As far as I can tell, everything seems to be progressing ok. Body parts are sore, I'm having to use the bathroom more frequently, I'm very tired, and still nauseous - although that seems to be letting-up a bit this week, which is nice. We have a doctors appointment Tuesday, at which we'll be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. Thankful for that! I've been anxious to get past this 12-week mark. I think if/when we get past Tuesday's appointment with a clean bill of health, I think I'll really actually feel like this is all happening.
According to books and websites, the baby is the size of a fig or walnut this week. All of its major organs are complete, it has all of its teeth buds, its fingers are forming nails and fingerprints, and it is beginning to kick and move very actively.
We've been continuing to work on our room-transformations this week. The guest room/study is completely finished and we love it! We bought 2 new pieces of furniture from a store that was going out of business and had everything 50% off. Those purchases were tough - I'm not accustomed to spending "new furniture" kind of money :) So, our nursery furniture needs are complete now, other than getting a crib. Hope we haven't done all of this too early.....
My MVP husband was hard at-it again today. Me and my grandma left this morning to spend the afternoon in Nashville at my cousin Karen's baby shower (where I learned that baby showers are way funner when you're pregnant). Anyway, by the time I got home, Nick had mowed the yard, painted the front door, and done four loads of laundry. LLLOOOVVVEEE him.
I still can't really see any physical differences in myself, but I'll take a 12-week picture in the morning before church and post it for you all.
