So, here we are at 12 weeks!! The past few days have been very very emotional for me. I simply cannot believe I am going to be a mom. I honestly don’t think I will ever believe it!! The whole concept is just so surreal to me at this point.
In the past few days I have officially “popped” I think. My “bump” is still very high, and I sure its still a lot of bloat, but its definately a bump because a) it doesn’t jiggle any more and b) its very hard.. not soft like my usual pudgy self. See below…
So that, my friends, its about it. We started looking at baby furniture and have made a list of all that good stuff we want. I’m finally getting my energy back, slowly but surely. I will certainly take back any energy this goober is willing to spare me. And on to the 12 week survey!! Now that I am starting into the 2nd trimester soon.. I think I will try to do this weekly now!
As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby’s systems are fully formed.
