12 week & Caleb update

I forgot to post this with my ultrasound pics...blame it either on the preggo brain or mommy brain I have!

So far this pregnancy hasn't been much different than with Caleb. No morning sickness. I will occasionally get "evening sickness", but it isn't a nauseous feeling....more of I only feel like eating a bowl of cereal for dinner. Very manageable. I've been a bit more tired than usual, but I just try to go to bed earlier.

One thing different this time around is the occasional incision pain (from the C-section). I really have to watch how often I pick up Caleb.....he's 30 pounds! Its causing stress on the internal scar. We are working on getting him in and out of the car seat without me picking him up. We will be converting his bed to a toddler bed very soon, hopefully that goes well.

Ive already started showing. I cant wear any of my normal clothes without a bella band. I'm much more comfy in my "in between pregnancy pants". These are the pants that don't have that full belly elastic, but they have a stretch waistband.

Caleb is doing great. Potty training is off and on. When he tells me, we try to use the potty. Not really pushing it just yet. He now goes to sleep with the following items: a pillow, a blanket, puppy, small bear, big bear, puppy pillow (pillow pet from my mom), and sometimes a book. Im surprised he can find his pacifier in the middle of the night!
Hes talking so much...he is a sponge with everything. While David and I were eating dinner he told us in his words: "Bye, go to grocy stor. Bye, gettin d mail. Need keys mama, unlock door (as hes putting daddy's shoes on)."Our favorite conversation is about what daddy does at work:
Caleb: bye, goin work (putting David's tennis shoes on)
Us: Caleb, what do you do for work?
Caleb: Like daddy
Us: Yes, what do you do for work?
Caleb: cut gass

His imagination is really taking off. We went to Fry's (electronic store) this past weekend. David and i were looking at phone holsters. Caleb finds one and walks around the store with it on his hip, saying "goin work like daddy".
