I wanted to keep a weekly record of this little survey, but I have had zero time and a broken computer. So, I figure I'll start now and continue it from here!
How far along: 12 weeks 4 days
Total weight gain/loss: Was up 2 lbs, but lost them somewhere! Back to even!
Maternity clothes: Yes - and comfy lounge clothes. Really, I don't go anywhere, so comfort is the key!
Stretch marks: Left over from the twins!
Sleep: Fitful. I fall asleep easily but wake often. Oh, and a sick toddler doesn't help.
Best moment last week: Starting to feel the "twitches" in the belly. I KNOW I didn't feel them as early with the twins, but I didn't know what to pay attention to or what it was supposed to feel like! I love it when I cough b/c it is pretty much a guarantee that the baby will move.
Symptoms: Frequent urination, fatigue, horrible heartburn!
Food cravings: Anything salty. I don't really crave anything. In fact I can't fathom eating the same thing more than once...no leftovers for this girl!
Gender: I think it is a little girl. This baby has a very calm personality just like Bennett did. I teeter back and forth, but I have felt girl from the beginning, so I'll stick with it!
I miss: Not one thing! I love being pregnant. It is the most amazing experience and I would do this 5 more times if I could.
What I am looking forward to: I look forward to every single day ending without any emergencies. I don't want to wish this pregnancy away, but I can't wait to hold a healthy baby in my arms.
Milestones: The end of the first trimester! (almost)
Prayers: That my subchorionic does not continue to grow (it did get larger from .90 to 1.3. That my cerclage goes well and there are no complications. That our little baby continues to grow and remains safe in my troubled uterus! I pray that the bleeding does not begin and that my body will heal itself and reabsorb the blood clot. I really need prayers for my anxiety and constant worries that something is going to happen.
That's it for now! 12 weeks down and with a ton of prayers and some medical intervention hopefully we will have 24 weeks left!

I remember those fears of bleeding and begging for days when nothing occurred and all was well. I will pray all goes well with your cerclage and that you will continue to grow that sweet precious baby as long as possible.
