12 Weeks and Ultrasound

Weekly updates are so fun even if I don’t get to them each week. Reaching 11 and now 12 weeks feels like such a milestone after my loss at 10.5 weeks. I went and had an elective ultrasound since we don’t do the genetic testing I wanted to see baby and did a “peace of mind” ultrasound. Isn’t it so cool they do that?! It’s about the cost of my copay for the Dr so I thought why not?! They didn’t have that option when I was pregnant with the boys. 
But here are a few bump pictures first:

13 weeks with Eli.
So definitely getting bigger faster but that’s expected with baby #3.

So here are some ultrasound pics from today.

Heart rate was 168. Baby just loved snuggling up to my placenta and wouldn’t turn over so we got its backside lol. It loved stretching its legs out. Everything looked great! She even said the nuchal folds look good! So thankful for healthy baby so far.
This place was so cool with a cough and a real bed for the mom. I want to take the boys in a few months so they can see it since they can’t come to any of my appointments and this place allows 3 people! My mom and Ben’s mom came with me today and they loved it. 

Symptoms:
Morning sickness is much better but I randomly lost my breakfast this morning and that leaves me tired and feeling bad all day even though I woke up feeling fine and worked out... it’s so weird. I have never thrown up during a pregnancy no matter how nauseous I felt and this time I’ve done it twice but not after feeling nauseous it just comes out of nowhere.  But here’s to hoping this is the last time now I’m so close to the 2bd trimester. 
I have been able to cook again though so my family appreciates that. 
Allergies and stuffy nose have been BAD. Could be the crazy wind we’ve had too.
I still wake up hungry many nights and to pee at least 3 times. Poor Ben said he’s gonna start sleeping on the couch after a particularly restless night poor guy. 
Some days I’m exhausted and other days I do ok.

Cravings:
Orange juice settles my stomach in the morning weird I know. I also have made banana nut pancakes twice this week lol. And had turkey sandwiches on a bagel at least twice too. 

Movement: 
I’ve been feeling baby flutter the last week and it’s getting more frequent! It was confirmed on ultrasound cause the baby was kicking on my left side where I have been feeling it most! So that’s really exciting. They said my placenta is posterior like with Eli and I felt him around the same time. Kyle was weeks later with an anterior placenta.
