Bumpdate 12 Weeks

Weeks are flying by and they will continue to go by quickly because I've got a hello busy July. Anyway, I'm posting from SUNNY Orlando, Florida. Ha! Yea, right. We have seen nothing but rain for two days straight thanks to Tropical Depression Debby. We were suppose to go golfing on Sunday before our official work began here in Orlando but that didn't happen. On the bright side, we did walk out of the gym today to blue skies and no rain. It was really windy but at least it was pouring.

On another note, we had our first phase of our integrated testing for Down Syndrome. It consisted of blood work and an ultrasound. Negative results so we were excited to get that phone call. I then had my doctor's appointment Friday  morning. She attempted to hear the heartbeat via a Doppler but due to my uterus being toward my back, she was unsuccessful. She assured me not to worry and scheduled me an ultrasound right then and there. Two ultrasounds in one week... well, sure why not. I wasn't that worried partly because everything looked good on Monday. We saw the flutters of the heart with no problem but then again you never know. The ultrasound lasted about 5 minutes if that and she found the heartbeat no problem so I was relieved and happy.

Now onto the bumpdate and you tell me... am I growing?? After looking back over the last 4 picture.. I sure don't think I've changed that much at all. If there is growth, I blame it on the bloating from week to week.

• How far along? 12 weeks 3 days as of today posting but only 1 day in the picture. 

• Total weight gain: I was +3 at my doctor's appointment on Friday

• Maternity clothes? No, not really. My work attire is different when on the road and in the office. More khaki and polo on the road so it was a test when putting on the khakis this weekend. They fit nicely. I sure don't wear my belt near as tight as I use to. :) 

• Stretch marks? None

• Sleep: Still sleeping good.. no problems at all other than the 4 pee breaks in the middle of the night. I've also noticed that I get real thirsty at night so I've started to have some water by my bed. 

• Best moment this week:  Getting two ultrasounds this week!! :)

• Miss anything? A beer! I went out to lunch/dinner with some work friends and while traveling for work, it is nice to have a brew with a meal but I had water instead. 

• Movement: None yet.

• Food cravings:  None really. 

• Food aversions: none, really.  My answers sure are interesting seeing how they all seem the same. 

• Gender: not yet. We have our Gender appointment August 3rd.

• Labor signs: Oh no. I simply just want belly growing signs to show up. :)

• Symptoms: still hungry a lot... and always looking to satisfy that need. 

• Belly Button in or out? way in, like normal.

• Wedding rings on or off? On.

• Looking forward to: beach beach beach... Hubby, his brother, and I are headed to the beach for almost a week with my extended family. I've been going since I was a little baby so I love going and relaxing. It is much needed too.   

So what do you think? Does my belly look like its seen any growth?
