12 Weeks Today!!!

Today I am 12 weeks, almost in my second trimester.....and yes, it still seems like time is crawling.......so here is this weeks food comparison! (plums aren't that much bigger than limes to me though - oh well)

Week 12: Plum
Average size: 2.1 in, .49 oz
As I move into the second trimester, the babies shift into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of the babies systems are fully formed.

Some changes I have noticed....I think I am actually starting to get a little "bump". I do think its still a combo of "I am eating for 3 now", bloat and of course, babies! I do notice that it seems to be more "babies" now, my stomach was flatter in the morning than it was at night (thanks to bloat) but now its about the same. Most of my pants are getting a lot tighter (only have one pair of jeans I can still button), and maternity pants are AMAZING...so comfortable, I feel like I am in my pj's all day, its great!! And so the growing begins!!!

We have our NT scan (u/s to measure the amount of fluid behind the babies necks...to check for Downs and other neural tube defects) scheduled for tomorrow, so I am just praying that these little beans are both ok!! This test is not "diagnostic" and will only give us "odds", it will probably be the only testing we will do. I will update and let you know how it all turned out!!
