15 Weeks: Apple

Yes, we're naming the baby "apple." NOT! But that's how big the baby is now! I'll bet a dollar that this kid will love apples too...since I've been craving them again (Lily loves them too).

Finally feeling somewhat "normal" again - can stay awake past 9pm and am feeling hungry rather than sick. Good news.

Lily likes to pat my stomach and say,"Nice baby."

14 Weeks: Baby Wants Candy

Oh wait, maybe just I want candy. (Of course I had to get pregnant again through Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. ha ha!).

The baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb.

From head to bottom, he/she measures 3 1/2 inches (the size of a lemon) and weighs 1 1/2 ounces.

13 Weeks: Amazing!

According to my "this week in your pregnancy" email, the baby now has fingerprints!

We listened to the little flutter of a heartbeat last week...there is really something growing inside of me. Wow.

12 & 1/2 Weeks: She knows!

Lily looked at us during dinner last night and said, "Mama, there's a baby in your tummy." Jake and I exchanged surprised looks!

This morning she said, "The baby crawled in your tummy because she was hungry and needed milk."

I had 2 more eggs with 2 yolks in them...very strange.

12 Weeks: Pop! Goes The Belly

3 months! At 7 or 8 weeks, I remember thinking 3 months was an eternity away...which it is, when you spend all day (or just want to) laying on the couch feeling miserable.

Finally feeling "normal" (not pukey and not exhausted all the time)- hope this continues!

We haven't told Lily about her big sister status yet, although last week she informed me that "when I was a baby, I was in your tummy!"

Weight gained: 8 pounds

Cravings: Apples (I craved these with Lily too!) and grape nuts

I keep teasing Jake that we're having twins...which I thought was funny, until my egg had two yolks in it the other morning!
