Weeks are just flying by! This past week I felt really good! We had a check up on Monday that went really well. I have had a lot more energy than the first few weeks of pregnancy. I actually feel like my normal self( with the addition of some extra weight in my stomach area :)
We are quickly moving through the produce section...baby is now the size of a PLUM! Baby weighs 8 -14 grams and crown to rump length is around 6.1cm. Baby Easley is a little bit bigger than that right now b/c this past Monday, that's exactly how long baby was. Baby Easley has doubled in size the past 3 weeks. If you haven't checked out the ultra sound pics from last Monday, check out that blog post! On a run this week, I actually attempted to run up a long steep hill (18th Ave S to Wedgewood ) which I could barely do pre-pregnancy and I did it! I was so proud of myself and quickly regretted that decision because my legs were burning so bad! haha. But at least I know that I can do it :)
Someone asked me yesterday if I was having cravings for anything unusual and I couldn't think of anything! I eat just about anything anyways so I'm not sure if I will have any "weird" cravings but I will keep you posted! I DO like to make all of my food spicy. Yesterday for lunch, my mom took me out and we went to P.F. Cheng's. Love that place <3 I ordered the lo mein and you know that hot sauce that the waiter makes before your food comes?? I never have put it on my food before. I almost put the entire bowl of spicy-ness on my noodles! It was hot and oh so good! So maybe that's something unusual. Brent and I always eat healthy...the baby is thriving off of lean meats and veggies( and mac & cheese...and pizza...and chips & salsa ) What? It's all good food! I think that if I didn't exercise, I would gain quite a bit of weight. I really do eat healthy though :)
Here is my 12 week picture. The baby bump is slowly getting bigger.
My friend, Megan, is bringing Brent and I 2 baby books tomorrow. I'm so excited that one of the books is a...baby name book! We are having so much fun picking out names that we like and we will be using one of these names very very soon...baby Easley will soon have a name! Megan actually said I could keep her books because she doesn't have a need for them anymore. Do you want to know why?! She has 3 young boys!! I just...Megan, I just can't imagine! Whenever I see you at church with those 3 boys, I am thinking to myself " Wow, she is quite an amazing woman"! 3 boys! Like I have mentioned, Brent and I will find out the sex of the baby in a little over a month and YES we are FINDING OUT!! I just don't see how anyone can wait ( Angie!! ). My cousin is also pregnant and is due in September. Her and her husband have decided to wait to find out the sex till it's birthday. That's a lot of patience right there! Brent and I are just itching to know!! Can't wait :) We have a wedding to go to tonight. It's actually at the very same place where Brent and I got married 8 months( and 9 days )ago. I know that when we get there and get seated and I am just going to start reminiscing about our special day! Thinking about every detail and imaging what I was doing and how I was feeling right at that moment. Pics to come of the Smith/Hutchinson wedding! Happy Saturday!
