12 weeks

How far along: 12 weeks

Next appointment: Beginning of Oct

Any new aches/pains: I'm dealing with the pain from my wisdom tooth with the pain meds and I don't think it's helping the nausea. I'm getting sick every morning. 

Maternity clothes: Yep, shirts.

Sleep: I was only about to sleep for about 8 hours at night and I would take a nap or two during the day. Sleep is getting a little bit better.

Best moment this week: I got to hear the little one's heartbeat. I know I already said it but it's the best sound ever! 

Movement: I've felt a little twitch here and there but nothing for sure. 

Food cravings: As of today I'm hungry for food but it really hurts to eat. So it's pretty much soups for me. 

Belly button: It looks normal

What I miss: Feeling good and eating food. 

What I’m looking forward to this week: Feeling better!! 

Baby is the size of a plum

The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. 

Most of her critical systems are fully formed!

She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly.

She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body, she'll likely move.

She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes, too.

Her brain is developing fast!
