When the baby first came up on the screen, s/he was kicking and moving and bouncing all over. We all noticed how active s/he was and then boom. Asleep. And would. not. wake. up. The sonographer was trying to take measurements of the nick, spine, etc., and she was having a hard time getting good angles. And no matter how much or hard she poked me in the stomach with the wand thing, Bean just wanted to nap. Hopefully that's the case when s/he comes out!
She also did a 3D one, which creeped Nelson out just a tad. But it's neat to see the exact position Bean's laying in <3
As for me, well I haven't changed much, but it's definitely getting harder to suck that little tummy in....
Mom's Take at Week 12: I've still felt great! Hallelujah! Work has been super crazy with the conference happening next week, so I've been working really long hours. And sleeping hasn't been easy because I'm stressed about all that needs to be done. Add that to first trimester tiredness and I've been absolutely exhausted. I had to tell my running friend to just count me out until this is done, so I've basically been at the office working, home working, or home sleeping. I'm starting to feel more bloated and it's hard to suck in. It doesn't hurt, but it's just uncomfortable. I can still wear my normal clothes, and I think I have a long body and the ability to wear my shorts and jeans low to thank for that. Although Nelson's mom wants to take me shopping, so we may do that when we're in Houston in a couple weeks. I'm sooooooo excited to find out the gender because then we can do all the planning (things I loooove!). I've already started researching and Nelson was so sweet to walk around Buy Buy Baby with me (we were there to get a gift for a friend originally, but did some exploring for ourselves afterwards). But I can officially start picking things out once we know if Bean is a little she or a he!
Dad's Take at Week 12: (Nelson has officially said he doesn't know what to do here. He's still nervous and stressed, though, so I don't think much has changed. He is enjoying seeing how my tummy is starting to change and marvels at that, so I guess that's fun haha.)
And just to keep as a memory, my co-workers, Amber and Thomas, also had Tiff's Treats delivered to the office a couple weeks ago with an adorable poem they wrote <3 Of course I started crying.
