12 Weeks

Well, tomorrow I will officially be 12 weeks pregnant! Am I secretly hoping I am one of those pregnant women who wakes up at 12 weeks and feel fabulous? YES!!! But I am trying not to get my hopes up as I know this ick can last a few more weeks. Whatever happens, I am thrilled to be 12 weeks and feel so blessed to have a healthy, growing baby (that looks more like a human now). I have gained 5 pounds and have a definite belly. For all of you out there hoping for belly pics, they will be posted soon I promise!

As week 10 approached and I felt some relief from the sickness, I was so excited. But why doesn't anyone tell you that it actually can get worse during week 11? WOW. It was the worst it has been the entire pregnancy. There must be some major growing going on in there :) So for my own memories, I thought I would list the things this baby seems to love, and seems to hate:

Baby Gooden Loves:

CHEESE, CHEESE, and CHEESE. (Especially Velveeta).

Bagels and cream CHEESE

Mac and CHEESE

Chips and QUESO Aka CHEESE

Grilled CHEESE and Ranch

Quesadillas (Mainly CHEESE)

Chocolate Milk

Canned Pears and Peaches

Peppermints

Apple Juice

Sprite


Baby Gooden DOES NOT LIKE:

Pei Wei or any smell associated with Pei Wei

Ground Beef

DESSERTS.... Yeah that's right, ice cream, cake, cookies.

Vegitables

Not that into Pizza (sad, sad)

The smell of Vitamins

WATER (Yes, plain water)

Even with my baby who must already have flavored drinks, I am so in love with this little one! I have always thought it was a boy until this past week when I got sicker. I am now wondering if there is a little girly girl in there? But what girl doesn't like desserts? Well today there was a new development. The Dove chocolate in my kitchen has made me nauseous for 3 months. My desire for my favorite chocolate had completely gone away. In fact, I would choose cheese over chocolate. THAT IS...... until today. When all of a sudden, I wanted chocolate. Hmmmmm?? I ate 2 pieces of dove milk chocolate and I was in love again. Could this baby be trying to tell me it really is a girl? Or is it a sweet baby boy who had a sudden craving for chocolate? 6 more weeks to find out and the anticipation is killing me! I guess it's just another way of preparing Momma's to have patience :) I can't wait to know who is in there!

And the pic you have all been waiting for..........THE 12 WEEK BELLY!!!

Better pics to come :) I had to take this one myself
