A baby on the way! Week 12

This is going to be my new monthly post that I am going to try and stick with throughout the pregnancy.
I will not guarantee belly pics, because having done this before, I know how "not cute" I can get.
(A little far behind)

How far along? 12 weeks

Maternity Clothes? yes!

Sleep: Alot, more than necessary.

Best moment this month: got to see our baby again, more sono pictures because they couldn't find the
heartbeat. Alas, all is well. He/ She just wanted us to see him/her again.

Miss anything? nothing really.

Movement: none

Food Cravings: none
what makes me sick or queasy: nothing. I know boring!

Gender: I have no clue!

Labor Signs: Braxton- Hicks started right at 12 weeks. Very uncomfortable.

Symptoms: Tired. Very sleepy.

Wedding Rings: On or Off. On.

What is my mood most of the time? Good. Happy.

What Am I looking forward to this upcoming month? Going to Arizona for Mother's Day.

Top 5 things NOT to do or say to a pregnant chick

It comes with the territory, emotions take a big toll on a girl who is pregnant. People can say the nicest things or they can unintentionally make a girl feel like the biggest baby making factory ever. Here is some advice to heed to not let history repeat itself.

Top 5 things I hope people do not say/do to me while I am pregnant:

1.  DONT TOUCH THE BELLY!!! Why do people feel compelled to do this? If you do it to me, I will do it to you in return. Trust me on this.

2.  Do not gasp when I tell you how much longer I have to go, and you thought I was already past my due date.

3.  Please don't ask me "are you sure there's not two in there?!"-yeah because I like to joke about shenanigans like that.

4.  Let's not ask how much weight I have gained during this pregnancy or I will ask you how much weight you have gained during my pregnancy.

5.  Never, ever, never, ever tell a pregnant girl "you are huge" or "wow, you're enormous" things of that nature. This is the one time in my life that I do not have to be concerned about what I eat, when I eat or how much. I may feel like an elephant, but you do not have to solidify those feelings because you have no filter. I am creating a new life, people. Cut me some slack.

Just remember, my hormones are raging, my emotions are unstable, I would like to come out of this pregnancy with my self confidence still in tact.

Thank you for your kindness.
