Can anyone tell me what I am referring to when I say “4 Weeks”? I’ll make it easy for you…

It is the ridiculous amount of time that ha passed since I’ve updated this blog.  I can’t believe myself.  I have no excuses.

I guess I haven’t had anything much to write about.  And one tip I seem to read over and over again in regards to blogging is, if you don’t have anything to write about, don’t write at all or your audience will hear it the forced post in your words. 

Well, to say I had nothing to write about is probably a bit of a lie.  I mean, I could have written daily about my insane food aversions; like how the thought of handling raw chicken, smelling it cook, and then eating it makes me gag.  Or how much I love peanut butter, jelly and fluff sandwiches now.  Or how pizza is the one staple I can pretty much count on 100% of the time…plain cheese pizza that it.  Extra cheese if I’m feeling frisky!  But truth is, you don’t want to hear about that.  Do you?  Does that interest you?  Please tell me if I’m wrong. 

I could’ve also posted a couple weeks ago about how I woke up one morning to find my waist completely G. O. N. E.  I mean so gone I ran back to check the bed to see if I maybe just left it behind!  But guess what…it wasn’t there.  I am now officially at that awkward phase where strangers in stores don’t know I’m pregnant, instead I just look a bit thick around the waist, as if I’ve gained a few lb’s eating too many tubs of sherbet at night.  So it’s kind of weird.  After all, this is my first stab at this pregnancy thing.  So I don’ know exactly how my body is going to respond and what parts of it are going to be thrown out of whack first.  Today I am 12w2d.

As a matter of fact I went out and bought a Bella Band, and it works wonderfully.  Especially since I bought a pair of jeans a size larger than my normal size and this helps to keep then from falling down past my crack. 

I have a 12 week prenatal appt tomorrow as well as the 13 week ultrascan (genetic testing).  So after not seeing our little one for 4 whole weeks (this is a very long time since we had been having weekly scans with the specialist!) we get to see him or her, finally!  We can’t wait to see how much he or she has grown!  Last time we got a peek inside we were looking at a little embryo the size of a green olive, now we will be taken back by a fetus the size of a lime!  Time certainly is flying!

I will be sure to catch up again tomorrow after the first appt to post a new picture!
