3 months - 12 weeks - 84 days

12 weeks today!  My boss came into my classroom yesterday to check on me and asked if everything was going alright with the baby.  I said that everything was great and that I feel fantastic.  She commented on how I'm not showing yet and am I sure that everything's alright.  I just smiled and said, "As far as the tell me it is."

Here is why you can't "tell" that I'm pregnant yet
{--------  Baby and uterus are still super low in my abdomen.  Last week when the doctor tried to find the heartbeat she was basically digging the doppler into my pubic bone, which did not feel all that great.  So not only is it still very low but it's also still basically in the middle of my body.

I always thought that when you hit 12 weeks you start the second trimester.  Is that not true?!  Maybe I need to stop going to these online baby groups where the women freak out over the littlest things and act like they are baby encyclopedias.  I am just not a worrier.  Not unless I truly have something to worry about that is out of my control.  I find myself getting seriously irritated at the women online that have massive, public panic attacks if they sneezed funny, only drank 7 glasses of water instead of 8, forgot to take their prenatal vitamin once, etc.  It's exhausting to read I can only imagine how exhausting it is to think that way.  Sometimes I'm pretty sure that I'm emotionless.  I'm not very empathetic and my bedside manner is questionable.  I think that's why I'm loving this blogging business so much.  It's mine and I'm going to say what I'm thinking. Sorry, not really, if I hurt feelings :)

Baby T's the size of a lime - margaritas... sigh...

Alright, back to 12 weeks... weekly updates include:

• went to the doctor, gained 5 lbs, realized I have been eating crap that I normally don't eat, and have revamped my daily preggo diet.  For those that see diet and think "losing weight", no.  Diet is the foods that you eat for nutrition not necessarily the act of dieting.  Basically I'm not going to eat gummy bears and chips everyday and am going to work really hard to eat more veggies, which I haven't been wanting lately.
• Still don't feel pregnant.  Yesterday I actually made it through a full, normal day: work, Girls on the Run practice (ran 1 mile), home to play with the dogs, gym (3 miles on cross-trainer), grocery store, cooked a normal dinner, cleaned up, and vegetated on the couch without feeling like I was going to die of exhaustion.  Is this the energy boost they talk about getting in the 2nd trimester?  I hope so.  I have sh*t to do!
• Announced to the world, a.k.a Facebook, our news.
• Celebrated Mother-to-be day and drove all over hell and back.
• Saw an Orioles game with a bunch of friends and my sister - got on the jumbotron!

I wrote everything above last night.  Well, this morning when my alarm went off at 5am I was actually able to get up and go to the gym!!  Am I back!?  Is this zombie exhaustion finally over?  Not only that but I have a preggo buddy in the kettlebell class that I haven't been able to wake up for the past two months!  She's 20 weeks.  Oh yeah, today's going to be an excellent day and here's why:

-already hit the gym

-assembly first thing this morning

-1 hour lunch with the grade level where we get to leave school for lunch together

-Tides game tonight with LL and LC!

May--be I'll even get some planting done this afternoon!  I am on FI-YA!   WINNING :)

Baby Info.
Almost forgot to add in what's going on with Baby T this week.  Apparently it is flexing it's muscles!  Moving fingers, toes, eyes, and starting to make sucking movements.  They also say that if I poke my stomach Baby T moves because I'm pissing it off :)  Okay that's probably not why it moves but wouldn't you be pissed off if someone was poking at you?  Just saying.

I'm going to post a picture of me but I don't have anyone to take it right this second.  I can't stand those "take a picture of yourself in the mirror" pictures.
