Week 12
(Oct. 15 to Oct. 21)
Symptoms: Boobs are definitely bigger — not awesome-big, but better than those sad-looking, flat, post-breastfeeding disasters.
Body changes: I keep reading stuff in pregnancy guides about how “your regular jeans might be getting snug.” Bite me, pregnancy guides! Now where are those stretchy-paneled jeans? …
Baby movement: Started! Yay! It’s very, very slight, but sometimes I can feel it when I’m lying down and very still.
Cravings: Appppppppples!
Aversions: Almost completely gone (minus the cat-food gross-outs).
High point: Putting the news on Facebook (always makes everything seem real, doesn’t it?) and CLOSING on our new house!
Low point: Packing. Working. Chaos. Exhaustion.
How does this week compare to Week 12 during pregnancy #1? Apparently I only bought my maternity jeans at this point last year. Whereas this time around? Um, been wearin’ ’em for quite a while. Damn stretched-out stomach muscles or muscle memory or … something.
