12 weeks!

I get so excited for the turnover of weeks these days! Means I am one step closer to getting to meet my baby!
I have been feeling better during the day so that is great but even though I am getting a full nights sleep with little interruptions, I still crash at right about 2:30pm through 5:30pm when I get to go home. This most likely has to do with the afternoon stretch at work when the day is close to over but I cant go home yet so I just feel like I am going to fall asleep right at my desk. I try to get up and do some stretches to get my blood flowing but it doesn’t seem to help. I am so much better on the weekends when I can make my own schedule.
Most days I wake up feeling great, no nausea. Then, I go to work and make sure I drink water and eat about every hour in the morning so I don’t get that weird hungry feeling because that is usually what will make me feel sick. Then at 1:30pm – 2:30pm I have my lunch hour, this is where I blow it! My lunch is free and provided by the company cafeteria, which is great except they leave me with less healthy options which of course I will take at this point because I only feel like eating crap that is bad for me! I usually will eat something like a Turkey sandwich with soup or worse things like tamales, lasagna, chicken strips. Most days they have some type of dessert, usually slices of cake that I can’t resist. So it is no wonder that by 2:30pm when I get back to my desk, I have eaten myself into a food comma! That is probably why I am so sleepy! When I went to lunch before I was pregnant, I would make a salad and have soup or sandwich with it. But, today when I look at a salad I want to vomit. 3pm is the start of heartburn central. It continues through the night until bedtime when I finally take two tums so I can sleep. I am afraid of taking to many of them. 5:30pm rolls around and I am excited to head home. I have been doing better with dinner lately, I try to stay away from anything that would make my heartburn worse but it turns out that it could be anything that causes it. Sometimes I eat tomato sauce and have no problem at all but then I eat a banana and man it hurts! We eat dinner around 6:30pm and then it’s all over. I just cannot seem to get anything done at night. I feel the most bloated and miserable at this time. Last night I peeled myself off the couch for a :30 min walk on the treadmill but still, when I got done I felt horrible. The only thing that I felt better about was that I made myself get a little exercise!
I forgot to take the belly photo this morning but I should post one tomorrow. This Thursday we have our appointment for the chromosome screening. Just blood work and ultrasound. Hope I get to see how much the bean has grown. Probably more like a lemon size now! I am not showing yet and I don’t feel anything really firming up but I do use my belly band for my pants so I can breathe! I think I have gained another pound but I hope it will level off with me feeling a little better.
Also, last night we officially announced on Facebook that we are Pregnant! It was fun to see all the people that are so happy for us! Now I just have to keep stopping myself from trying to plan things. It is still a ways away and I really want to wait until we know the gender before I start anything.
