Baby Hamm is definitely growing!!

I work at a doctor's office and wear scubs every day. It's hard to really see how big I've gotten when I'm wearing those. But I have showed a few people at work my growing belly and almost everyone I've shown it to have been kinda surprised at how much I was already showing. I was 12 weeks yesterday and took some pictures. What do you think? Am I really bigger than most women at 12 weeks?



I'm still wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans, even though they are beginning to become greatly uncomfortable. And shopping for maternity clothes this past weekend was a bust. I ended up buying one sweater that's not even maternity. Overall, I have felt really good. This past weekend I had a horrible headache all weekend and it just kept getting worse, but now it has eased up, which is a blessing.




The baby is now roughly 2 inches long, which was very surprsing because I just knew he would be bigger than that. So you mean my stomach is that big with only a 2 inch baby in there?!?! :) That's ok, as long as he's growing healthy, I don't care how big I get. Our next check up is Friday and I can't wait!! Seemed like this one came a little quicker than the first one. I'm so excited to get an update on our little baby!!

Nothing really new....

Nothing really new here- it seems that the queasiness is getting better and better. Hopefully by next week I'll be craving everything in sight. :) We've got our next appointment next Friday so we're really looking forward to that. I can't wait to see his little heartbeat again and make sure everything is just fine. I wouldn't say I'm that much bigger and I'm not sure that I'm really showing. I know that I can tell but not sure that strangers would know. Right now I feel like we're having a boy, but who knows. I'm so happy that things seem to be progressing right on track. I'm planning on taking pictures Sunday, which will mark 12 weeks!!!

Food....I used to love food

Food has just not been the same for the past several weeks. I really hope this is a 1st trimester thing because I used to love to eat, with only a few minor exceptions. Take for instance ice cream- I was addicted to ice cream before I was pregnant. We would take at least 2 trips to Marble Slab in a week. Now I can do without it. I really miss it but just can't bear the thought of eating it. And that goes along with just about everything else. It seems as though I'm forcing myself to eat to keep myself from being sick. I might not feel like eating, but I make myself and then realize that I do feel better. It's just making myself eat when I don't really feel like it. Food in general just does not sound appealing to me anymore. I eat now, not because I like it, but because I need it. I liked eating because it tasted good....

Again, hopefully this will change because I hate this feeling. Other than that, the pregnancy has been going well. I shouldn't really complain about my food aversions, but that's really my only problem at the moment. I guess I should count myself lucky- I've known a few girls that have been deathly sick with their pregnancies.

We still have 3 weeks til our next appointment. Seems like this appointment is taking forever to get here too. But it will come, and we can't wait!!

The baby is now the size of a prune-still hard to imagine it being THAT small. The baby now has little feet and hands- not the webbed ones like before. He's begun moving, but still too small to notice. And he even has fingerprints- how amazing!!! He now weighs approximately .07 ounces.

Maybe next time I'll have some belly pics- I've been too tired and lazy to take any recent ones.
