12 and 13 and 14 weeks

Turns out I suck at remembering to update this...

Especially since I was feeling much much better!

I got a little cold... We had our 12 week ultrasound and everything looked good - C was moving SO SO SO much - so we still don't have a decent profile ultrasound picture...

But we will soon! I actually go back on Wednesday (5 days!) for my 16 week appointment, and I think I get another ultrasound? Really not sure... I'm just kind of going with the flow.

Weeks 13 and 14 I was tired but could push through it... busy... as always... bought a few more things for C's nursery!

Not sure if I blog announced it but we have decided on doing a scavenger hunt gender reveal. We will find out about 2 days before the party, so we can prep, and everyone else has to follow the scavenger hunt to figure it out! Get ready for #WyssWyssBaby to go viral :)

JK. Get ready for 12 people to use #WyssWyssBaby.

We have also decided if C is a girl to spell it Caidyn, versus Caiden for a boy. I'm excited about that difference! But it is also the reason I am just writing C now since writing out the whole way would make it seem we know something now, which we don't.

Here are a few updated pictures... sorry for the worst post ever.

11 weeks

So we suck.

And left our camera at the high school during the track meet so we didn't take an 11 week picture. I plan on faking on this weekend (trying to suck in what I can - it is getting harder and harder!) so I have it for later on. I'll post my best attempt... I try to make it look at least a little different and do my hair different or something... we will see!

I can still update on how week 11 was!

How far along: 11 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I never checked at Publix last week. Honestly it is only something I remember to do when Brian does it... but I have no clue. I feel like maybe I am back to normal but also am REALLY worried I am not and the Dr will judge me. At this point I literally have 4 easy jobs and have only done 2 of them - stay sober and don't smoke. I don't think I've gained weight and I am really bad at taking the prenatal vitamin. I will get better at both!
Maternity Clothes: I bought a dress that I wore for Easter (that I can probably wear forever, it is adorable and not very maternity - in fact Traci - sister in law - was asking if they had it in other colors to buy for herself and she is def not preggo or getting preggo soon). I've also bought a couple other stretchy things - I feel so lucky that maxi skirts and dresses are in right now! Hello soft and stretchy!
Stretch Marks: We bought some cocoa butter lotion. Total blonde moment - Brian and I both expected that stuff to smell like coconut. I really don't like coconut and wasn't excited about it... but it smells like chocolate! Excellent surprise!
Sleep: I am starting to have weird dreams and be anxious when I go to sleep hoping that whenever I wake up to pee will be a convenient time... such a weird thing to be anxious about!
Best moment this week: I ordered the first thing for the nursery and it came! And Brian loved it (I didn't ask him about it before I ordered it... oops!)
Have you told family and friends: Yes! And my school. So everyone knows now!
Movement: Nothing I can feel but I think baby C was supposed to start moving recently so it is only a matter of a few weeks before I start feeling it!
Food Cravings: Not really... I finally can have froyo on a regular basis again and I still hate most sweets/ desserts. It is making me sad and I think a real cause for why I don't think I've gained weight.
Anything making you queasy or sick: 2 things, brushing my teeth but only in the morning. I just think my mouth isn't ready for all the flavor... and ITCHYNESS. I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO itchy. I called the Dr and she told me a few things it could be. For now I am putting on so so much lotion and benadryl at night to help calm me enough to fall asleep.
Have you started to show yet: I feel like both yes and no. My clothes aren't really tight enough to show that I am like barely pregnant shaped, just fitted enough that I look fat with my normal clothes. I have a weird anxious for when I start to look pregnant for people who didn't know me before and can't tell I'm bigger and I also don't want to start being too big too soon so I am just in limbo letting time go.
Gender Prediction: I have no idea anymore. I was so positive it was a boy and then it dawned on me there is a 50% chance it is a girl, which I knew... but now I'm not sure.
Bellybutton in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Moody at all: No, but I think I had my first hormonal cry inspired by the show Chicago Fire. It was really heart wrenching but Brian was hardly bothered and I was sobbing. It was bad.
Looking forward to: My dates were way off last week. I was 12 weeks at my appt. And there was a whole week I didn't account for. Looking forward to continuing this uptick of fewer stomach aches and more energy! And the same stuff as last week, haha.
