baby #3 - twelve weeks

Today is the official 12 week mark for our little plum-sized baby #3.

I am currently loving Wendy's french fries, roasted red pepper hummus, and bread & butter pickles ... all things that until a couple weeks ago I can't remember eating for a VERY long time. Driving around town is hard because salty fast food sounds good pretty much all day long.

My stomach is feeling better. I had my fair share of saltine cracker days this pregnancy. My morning all day sickness lasted for about a month, which was my first experience with that. I am coming to the realization that the girls' pregnancies were pretty easy - early on at least.

My only other current weird pregnancy (completely not awesome) thing is insomnia. I don't sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. For the last 6 weeks. So I am pretty much in zombie mode as I type this ... I typically use the bathroom at least 4 times. I lie awake for hours in the middle of the night. Really hoping this is just a first trimester thing and will go away soon. I remember not sleeping well much later on during my previous pregnancies, but we still have a long time left and the fatigue is wearing me down.

Wah. Wah. I'll stop whining ...

My doc says that a very different pregnancy - symptom wise - can be an indication that you are having a different gender. So it could be a BOY people ... did I need to spell that out for you?!? We shall see ... likely when I go back in 3 weeks cause we are going to find out what we are having this time! The whole surprise thing was fun, but I just want to find out (notice I say 'I' not 'we' ... Dominic would be fine to wait). I figure it will be fun to experience both scenarios (knowing and not knowing). Besides, we've already had our major surprise of the year with the pregnancy in the first place :)

I have some ultrasounds from my last 2 appointments to share, but the girls have decided that my blog time is up ... I'm honestly surprised they let me sit here and type this long!
