I'm planning to do monthly posts with this peanut instead of weekly like I did with W. If a comparison photo is available, I'll post that as well (I don't have one for months 1 & 2). I'm going to do a combined update for both months, as I will be posting month 3 next week (I am 12 weeks tomorrow!!)
(I was very bloated the first two weeks I was pregnant, so I look significantly more pregnant than I actually felt)

(bit more of a bump, but mostly leftover baby squish from W. The background gives you a glimpse at the disaster our house was when I first came down here..I flipped this pic so they were the same, forgive me!)Maternity clothes? None yet. I can't find my belly-band anywhere, so I've been living in sweat pants. I plan to wear the same non-maternity tee and skinny jeans for each pic, so we'll see how interesting this gets!
Stretch marks? Just the ones that appeared around my belly button when W was born. I need to find an oil or a cream to use.
Sleep? How well does one really sleep with a toddler? W is sleeping through the night but he has fits in the middle of the night that wake me up. It takes me awhile to settle and go to sleep, so most days I'm pretty tired and I really want a nap!
Best moment so far? Getting an ultrasound and seeing the peanut! I didn't have an early ultrasound with W so it was really cool! I have the pics on the fridge and I love how it already looks like a tiny baby.
Food cravings/aversions? I have had a serious aversion to meat (mostly chicken and hamburgers). I have been trying to get protein through dairy, eggs, and peanut butter but it's just no the same. Cravings have been for lots of veggies and healthy stuff (surprisingly) with frosted donuts and popcorn thrown in there :P
Gender? I'm really feeling girl this time. A thinks it's a boy, which I am totally fine with too! I think W needs a little brother!
Movement? None yet. I didn't feel W until I was 18 weeks, but I think I felt him earlier and didn't realize it! We'll see when I start to notice it this time.
What I miss? Drinking a glass of wine. So silly, I know, but it would be much needed during some of the stressful times we've had since we've moved!
What I'm looking forward to: I have an appointment on the 26th and I can't wait to hear peanuts heartbeat (I got to see it last time, but it's cool to hear it too!) I'm going to be taking W with me so it'll certainly be interesting. It's so hard to find a babysitter in a new city (especially one that's out in the middle of nowhere).
