12 weeks ~ 3 months!

The appointment went well!  Nothing new to really report, but that there is a lime sized baby in my belly!  Little toot has reflexes this week and responds to me prodding my belly (but I cannot feel the movement).  I've gained 3 lbs. so far, my blood pressure is good, and I got to hear the heart beat again!  It was so good and reassuring :)  The hear rate was 160 this time (compared to 176 last time).  I'm still wearing my normal clothes, but with a rubber band for comfort.  It will be another 6 weeks until we find out the gender.  I will go in for a regular 16 week appointment, come in for an 18 week ultrasound, and then go back for a regular 20 week appointment.  I believe we are going to find out the little toots' gender, but more because Luke really wants to find out.  I took a quiz and it said that I didn't need to find out, but I do what the hubby says :)

As for the nursery, we made our first purchase!  I checked back on that white dresser (pictured in the "Bun Is Baking ~ My secret pregnancy journal" post) that I had found on Overstock and there were only 4 left as of last week!  I hadn't been successful in finding a dresser on Craigslist that fit the measurements and lines that I wanted, so Luke and I opted to go ahead and get the dresser on Overstock before it sold out...good thing!  I checked back the day after we bought it and it was GONE!  Off the website.  Shew!  It should arrive Friday :)
Friday we are hosting the dessert portion of a Progressive dinner, so that should be fun.  AND my mom and Ken are coming to stay with us Saturday and Sunday, so we have a fun weekend ahead...possibly all indoors!  It's SO hot and humid here right now.  Like in the 100s hot, so it "feels" like 120.
