12 weeks

This week I've had my ups and downs, but I am starting to feel like there will be an end to this nausea and exhaustion. I'm just really hoping to feel better by the time I go to Vegas. It was torture during Thanksgiving time when there was all this delicious food in front of me and I couldn't really eat or enjoy it.
Here is my 12 week sonogram of the baby taken during my nuchal translucency. This was my first time getting a NT done and it was actually really cool. With my past pregnancies, I got one ultrasound to find out the sex and that was it. The NT is so much more thorough, they showed me the brain, the baby's everything really, and my ovaries (apparently I have a really beautiful left ovary, at least that's what the doctor told me). It was all quite fascinating and the baby is looking very healthy, YAY!

Here I am at 12 weeks. This is the hardest part of the pregnancy for me where I'm not looking pregnant yet, just chubby. Today was the first time I went and worked out in like 2 months. I took it really easy, so I don't really count it as a workout, but I got my body moving and heart rate going. I just don't want the recovery to be as hard as it was after I had Emi (I ate twix candy bars almost everyday and I didn't workout during the pregnancy).
I predict my 2nd and 3rd trimesters to be wonderful, as well as the new year!

The baby looks so cute already! Very exciting. I think you have shown such courage and "positivity" during these twelve weeks. I do hope you'll continue to feel better and better, and be able to really enjoy all the good food and treats at your mom's during the holidays! Love you so much.

Congratulations, Erika!! That is seriously so exciting. I am pregnant too. There are so many people pregnant right now. It must be the in thing. :) I hope that you don't feel too sick!
