The 12th week of bumpin!

These weeks are sure flying by! 12 weeks down and 38 to go! This week not a ton has changed, my nausea hasn't shown its ugly face all week although certain things such as Sawyer's dirty diapers make me cringe! My stress level has gotten a little out of control and my hormones have blown a gasket more than 5 times this week! Mostly over our house remodel and the deliveries that ARENT showing up when they are supposed to! Ugh! On a lighter note I scheduled our gender reveal for the beginning of January! I can't wait to find out if Sawyer will have a baby brother or baby sister! My feeling this week is sister but typically it's always brother so we shall see! 

Unfortunant part of this week is I had to get my blood work done! As silly as it seems I have seriously been prolonging this nessassary part of pregnancy care for at least 2 months now and with one day to spare I took the plunge! My Mom came to spend time with Sawyer and I today so she sat in the car with him while he took a nap and I went to get poked! I sat in the car for about ten minutes before she finally asked if I was going to go in! I laughed and told her of my fear and she replied with "seriously Ashley, you've already birthed a baby!" Hahaha yes we both found that funny and as much as that makes sense, it still doesn't make it any easier for me!!

My bump is growing by the day and I am realizing this "second baby syndrome" people speak of is holding true! Although I am way bigger this time around vs when I was preganat with Sawyer, I am secretly loving and embracing my big belly as I am reminded how much I love being pregnant! Yes I know for some of you that is hard to believe, but I do love being pregnant! I love knowing I am growing a miracle inside and soon will be able to hold my precious baby! 

Cravings this week continue to include carbonated beverages and anything sweet! 

The doctor said everything looked great and the heartbeat was great as well! Always a relief to hear that heartbeat no matter how many times you go to the doctor! I assume this holds true for any Momma to be! Next appointment on January 21st to see our little peanut again! Oh the love I have for this child...

And last but not least an updated pic of the bump....
