My friends, it’s Facebook and Insta official… Baby Wurt is now the size of a large plum and hates his/her mother. I’ve honestly felt fairly decent (with the exception of extreme tiredness and exhaustion) during the first trimester but the last 2-3 days have been some of the worst. In a matter of 1.5 hours, I had a migraine, vomiting and a bloody nose. I’ve never had a single bloody nose in my life prior to pregnancy so that’s a new perk I wasn’t aware of…

Today marks 12 weeks of having our dreams come true and being able to say things like, “we need to remodel our bathroom before the baby arrives.” Which is so much fun to think of but feels too good to be true at the same time.

I never thought I’d do these types of weekly things but it’s much more for my own sake to keep track of all the changes of my feelings, emotions and body and track all of the nuggets changes!

How Far Along? 12 weeks today.
Size of Baby Wurt? A large plum, 2.5 inches,  .5 ounces
Maternity Clothes? I’m getting there… I am definitely using the rubber band trick and only wearing loose shirts, but no official pants yet.
Weight Gain? depends on the minute. 🙂 Maybe 5ish?
Stretch Marks? Nope
Gender? T minus one week until we find out!!
Sleep? It was the best part of the first trimester. But the last week or so, it’s getting tougher. I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t fall back asleep. Gone are the ambien nights…
Food Cravings? Kiwi. So weird, I know.
What I Miss? Bourbon.
Symptoms? Exhaustion, bloating, some getting sick, MIGRAINES and some more exhaustion.
Belly Button? same as always
Best Moment of the Week? Hearing the nuggets heartbeat. Best sound in the world. John and I have officially graduated from our Cincy infertility clinic and we had our first real, regular OB appointment. They say IVF patients are “spoiled” with the amount of ultrasounds we receive and we won’t continue getting as many. ….RIIIIGHT, we’re so “spoiled”…. anyway, we got to hear it on the doppler and seeing John’s face light up was pretty special. I love seeing him getting more comfortable about getting so excited. Baby Wurt has a very strong heartbeat of 180, consistently.

In case you missed it, this is Baby Wurt’s social media debut.

Thanks so much for all your thoughts, prayers, messages, calls, hugs and support. We could not have done this without you.
