Everything's Just Plum

Today was a hard day.  Everything started off normally, but after lunch I went to the bathroom and found bright red blood.  I immediately called the RE's office and my favorite nurse told me to come in immediately.  We're not sure of the source of the bleeding, but baby looked great, jumping and wiggling all over the place.  I'm currently on pelvic rest until I see the RE (he was out of the office at the time) at my previously scheduled Thursday appointment.

With that said, here's this week's update:

How far along: 12 weeks

Baby is the size of a: Plum.  Baby is about 2.1 inches long and weighs about 0.49 ounces.

Maternity clothes: Nope.  But it's summer, so I'm living in comfy workout clothes most of the time.  I'm a little scared to put on anything fitted.


Stretch marks: Nothing new.

Sleep: I've been sleeping better the last couple nights.  I still wake up at least once for a bathroom break, but I seem to be able to fall back asleep pretty easily and the pup has been giving me a break and letting me sleep in most mornings (she's definitely a let's party in the morning kind of girl).

Symptoms: I'm back to feeling my ute.  It's not cramping, but I definitely feel things moving around down there, so to speak.  Also crazy vivid dreams as of late.  Multiple dreams a night.  Who knew my subconscious could be so active?

Best moment of the week:  Making it past our previous loss date.

Miss anything:  Having normal eating habits.  I miss fruit.

Movement: Not for a few more weeks.  Although at today's impromptu u/s baby was kicking, punching, and dancing all over the place.

Cravings/aversions: I only seem to only want carbs and dairy.  Or those seem to be my only options once I run through all the things that don't sound good that day.  Still having a lot of trouble with fruit.  I thought about having grapes with my lunch a couple days ago and it made me want to gag (::sad face:: grapes are delicious).

Still trying to eat better though.  I didn't have the guts to weigh myself today, but hopefully the gains of the previous weeks has tapered off.  I tried hard to monitor food this past week and not become a senseless eating machine.

Belly button in or out? In.  In.  In.

Sex: Don't mind either way.  Honestly, I just want my baby. 

Mood:  I was feeling really good until today.  Now.... we'll I'm a nervous PgAL wreck.  It felt really good to get past our loss date, but the bleeding today really scared me.  It came out of the blue and even though baby looked great, I can't help but feeling like we're waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I know I just have to take everything day by day, but it's hard.  Especially since I'm supposed to take it easy the next couple days, I know I'll have plenty of time to just sit and think.  I'm now anxiously waiting for our appointment on Thursday.  With vacation next week, I'd rather not have things to worry about while we're out of the country.
