I won't see her again until August 6th for my 14 week appt & will have my 1st screening US sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. A little nervous about that one as this is the US where they can detect markers for Down's Syndrome & Trisomy abnormalities. Praying that everything checks out ok!
Symptoms: The nausea is getting better - as long as I keep eating every 2 hours but the fatigue/exhaustion has really set in this week. I left work early a couple times last week just so I could go home & nap.
Weight gain/loss: up another 1 lb (total of 2lbs gained)
Maternity clothes? No - but don't think I haven't been looking at the maternity section at Target & Old Navy thinking how comfy some of that stuff looks!
Sleep: No trouble falling asleep. Still getting up a couple of times a night to pee & the last few nights my 3am "pee-fest" keeps me awake until about 5am :(
Food cravings : Still loving my potatoes but have also been on a Caesar salad & BLT kick with the awesome garden tomatoes the neighbor brought over & also loving watermelon.
Movement? no - to early
What I miss? still missing those turkey sandwiches :(
Best moment this week: Hearing the heartbeat on the doppler!
What I'm looking forward to: Making it to 12 weeks
Next Appointment: 14 week visit with the OB on August, 6th
Milestones: Baby T was considered an embryo last week & a fetus this week, is almost 1.5 inches long, is constantly moving even though I don't feel anything yet, all of the organs, muscles, & nerves are in place & beginning to function & the touch pads on the fingers have formed & already have fingerprints - absolutely amazing!

The sound of the heartbeat on the doppler is just so amazingly beautiful! I love reading your updates. =)
I've been obsessively checking for updates and yay for strong heartbeats!!
August 6th will be here before you know it and I'll definitely text you before we get to KC. I need me some HT (and Baby T) time!
I found your blog through Kellys Corner and have been anxiously checking for updates! I have some advice for the 'pee-fest' that is keeping you up after 3am. I used to have the same problem when I was pregnant with my son. I would get up to go and then not be able to fall back asleep. This sounds silly, but if I remembered the exact position I was in when I woke up, and I got right back into that position after going to the bathroom....I could fall back asleep faster. Mind you, I had to keep the bathroom light off and basically sleep walk to the toilet and back but it worked:) I'm so glad that all is going well so far! I will be praying it continues to go well!
Yay! Found you through Kelly long ago and have prayed for you a lot! We are due with #5 (after the loss of our 7 year old to cancer) and can't wait! Due 1-25-13 so our babies will be close :)
Hooray! I'm so happy for you!
Wonderful news!! My OB always said `0 weeks was as good as hitting the 12 week mark! Sooooo unbelievably happy for you!
