I found out I was pregnant right after our 2nd wedding anniversary (pretty great gift, huh). It was one of those surreal moments full of joy & a little panic with a lot of excitement sprinkled in!
My official due date is July 15th, which seems far away, but yet oh so close. We have no intention of finding out the sex; we really want it to be a surprise! Although Nate has this "feeling" it's a girl, and I really don't know & truly have no preference.
So far this pregnancy has been a little on the rough side. I've had countless days of constant nausea & fatigue, but it could have absolutely been worse! I haven't really had any hardcore cravings other than pasta & chocolate milk. I have been insanely picky though from moment to moment. There have been numerous times I've prepared dinner only to end up eating something entirely different because the original dinner repulsed me. I have one major aversion & that has been coffee. It slightly pains me to say that since I have always loved it, but I can't stand the sight or the smell of it. I've just started getting my energy back & knock on all the wood I've had a good few days of no morning sickness!

We have bought a couple small baby items & our dog is literally obsessed. We catch him often snooping through the bag to smell everything. He really loves children and we are looking so forward to how he will be with his very own little companion.
How far along: 12 weeks, 4 days - baby is the size of a plum
Gender: It will remain a surprise! Although people already have their predictions.
Weight Gain: Will find out at my next appointment on the 7th. I was down a few pounds from my normal weight at my first appointment due to morning sickness though.
Stretch marks: None yet & hopefully it stays that way!
Maternity clothes: Not yet.
Sleep: Good! I've been taking Unisom though to help with the morning sickness, so it kind of knocks me out.
Best moment of the week: Going to my first NFL game & the first significant snow of the season :)
Worst moment of the week: A few rough days of morning sickness. I was having a good run without an inkling of nausea & then BOOM! Hoping it goes away soon...
Miss anything: Sandwiches. I never realized I loved a good meaty sub so much until I could no longer have them.
Movement: Not yet!
Cravings: Pasta & chocolate milk.
Queasiness or sickness: Yes! It is off and on, but hopefully it will go away soon.
Looking forward to: Feeling movement & a little pregnancy tummy.
