12 weeks 1/10/2021

 Week 12: The babies are the size of limes.



We are officially done with medications! At 12 weeks we did start baby aspirin to help reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia but those two little pills are easy to work into the day and well worth it. The boys and I are becoming a good team, as they seem to take up a lot of energy on my days off when I can rest and nap as needed, and let me keep some energy on the days I have to leave the house for work. 

What's going on in there: This week the intestines complete the move back to the abdomen from the umbilical cord space The babies bones marrow is making white blood cells, so they will be able to fight off all those germs passed around the playground. Now that the babies have pretty much all of their important organs, their main job is to keep on growing!
 

Next appointment: 1/21/2021 for the 13 week ultrasound. 

Feeling: Getting my appetite back, focusing on small meals and lots of hydration. Looking forward to hitting the second trimester next week!

Weight: 161

28 weeks to go!
