Almost done with the first trimester!
We had our 12-week appointment with our doctor on Thursday, and everything looks good! Heart beating strong, and we actually saw a head, body, arms and legs! I have another appointment at the hospital tomorrow (Monday) and will get a high-resolution ultrasound then, so I'll post a photo of that ultrasound.
I'm still feeling pretty good, and generally more of the same. Baby at 12 weeks is now over 2 inches long, and about the size of a lime or a plum.
Weight: Still at -2 pounds compared to pre-pregnancy weight. But I'm slowly getting a small baby bump!
Appetite/Cravings: Had some aversions to beef this week... I ordered a steak at a restaurant that came heavily spice-rubbed, and I took one bite and couldn't eat the rest. I also ordered some carne asada tacos at a local Mexican restaurant, and same thing -- ate one bite and couldn't eat the rest. Ended up just ordering/eating rice and beans.
But like Eric mentioned at the end of the last post, I've also been having some "cravings." We went hiking with Mia and Tim, and someone mentioned donuts, and I immediately said that I want a custard-filled chocolate donut! I'm also still eating a lot of Korean pickles. My mom sent some to me from Irvine last weekend (via Mia who flew there), and I already ate most of them :(. Will need to find a Korean market in norcal that sells them!
Mood/Energy: Same -- Generally pretty good, but tired, especially in the afternoons. I notice that I'm more sensitive to stories involving kids. I got really sad reading about Adrian Peterson's (NFL star) 2-year old son who died after getting beaten by the baby's mom's boyfriend.
Sleep: Sleeping well, and usually 7-8 hours/night during the week.
Eric's parents are in town for the next two weeks, which means lots of good home-cooked meals! Hopefully I start gaining weight soon! (My doctor wasn't worried about that at all.)
