Week 12 - approaching less anxiety territory

With Beca I was never worried about anything.  This time, I'm a bit more anxious about everything.  But as week 12 starts, the rate of miscarriage drops to virtually 0, meaning you have to have something rare happen.  So, I'm starting to feel a little better about not having a 3rd miscarriage in the span of a year and that I might have an actual baby this summer!  Next week is another appointment. We're hoping for an ultrasound but I know that he might just listen to the heartbeat and be done.

So at week 12 the baby is about the size of a lime - yeah for recognizable food size!!  The babycenter website had this about this week:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.  Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long and weighs about half an ounce.

I'm full into maternity clothes.  Can't wear regular clothes any more.  There will be lots of clean out in the next few weeks around our house but I'm just not quite there.  My focus is to get ready for my scrapbooking weekend in February so I can finally start Beca's baby book.  I'm thinking of yard sale in March to clear out whatever we can.  My mind is much more ambitious than what my body can keep up with.

Still nauseas all the time and still hoping it will wane soon.
