Pregnancy - 12 week update

How far along?  12 weeks

How big is baby?  The size of a plum according to the apps on my phone (around 5.3 cm).

Total weight gain/loss?  I'm now 55.9 kg (in powerlifting terms I'm now in a whole new weight loss).  No major loss this week though so that's a good sign.  I think I'm mostly just losing muscle.

Waist?  27 inches so an inch on again in the last week - oddly I'm getting bigger but lighter at the same time.

Stretchmarks?  Only the ones that have been there for years.

Maternity clothes?  Not for a while yet.

Sleep?  Hit and miss.  Some nights I'll sleep pretty solidly, other nights I'm awake almost all night.  I'm not particularly uncomfortable or anything, so I don't know why I'm not sleeping but I'm well known for being a bit of an insomniac so it's nothing new for me.

Best moment this week?  I can't choose just one!  We've hit that 12 week "safe" mark, we had a scan and got to see little Pip today and we bought our pushchair.

Movement?  Nothing yet - hopefully only a couple of months until I start feeling it though.

Food cravings?  Nothing in particular.

Food aversions?  Lucozade.  I drink a fair amount of Lucozade Sport drinks but I can't stomach them at all at the moment.

Gender?   Absolutely no clue.

Labour signs?  Definitely not.

Pregnancy symptoms?  Pretty much the same.

Belly button in or out?  In.

What I miss?  Having the energy to do things!

What I am looking forward to?  Starting to buy more things now that we've passed the 12 week mark.

Upcoming appointments/scans?  I see the Consultant on 15th May, midwife on 17th May and have my next scan on 17th June.

Weekly wisdom?  Shop around!  We've had our eye on a particular travel system/pushchair for a while but avoided it because it was way too expensive and didn't even come with a car seat.  Today we found it in another shop cheaper than before and that included a car seat too.  So glad we didn't give up and buy something else/buy it for the higher price.

Milestones?  That 12 week mark!

Starting to get a serious little chunk going now :D
