13 Weeks

How far along: 13 weeks!!!  Some websites say I have one week to go until the 2nd trimester and others say this is the first week of the second trimester.  I don't know who to believe but I am SO HAPPY to be here!

Size of baby: Baby is the size of a peach almost 3 inches long and weighs nearly an ounce.

Total weight gain/loss: Up one pound at our Dr appt on Monday.

Maternity clothes: I can still wear two pairs of normal dress pants forget that- I wore one of these pairs on Monday and every time I sat down I thought the zipper was going to rip open.  Maternity pants with the small elastic bands are my friends even if they are baggy. I am still wearing normal shirts although I'm pretty sure some of them look too tight. I finally got a bigger bra and I am so happy about that.

Sleep: Same as last week- I haven't been getting very restful sleep unless I take a nap which only happens on the weekends.  Otherwise I'm tossing and turning, having (really) weird dreams and getting up to pee.

Best moment of the week: There are a few; our OB appt on Monday, listening to the heart beat on our doppler, and being nominated for Humpday Hero :)

Movement: No but I have had dreams about feeling the baby move

Symptoms: I get dizzy pretty easily and I get a headache just about every day.  But I'm not nauseous anymore so that's awesome!

Food cravings/aversions: I've been craving fruit this week and I can't eat anything greasy.

Gender: Don't know yet but can't wait to find out!

Belly button in or out: Still in all the way

Stretch marks: nothing new, same ones I've had forever

What I miss: Fitting into all my clothes

What I am looking forward to: Easter weekend with family and having them see our ultrasound on the 23rd.

Weekly wisdom: From my sister's hilarious friend when I asked for advice on baby stuff...
Go for comfort over cuteness when it comes to the rocking chair in their room.  Trust me.  You will be in that bitch…a lot. And keep Clorox wipes in their room.  They will spray poop on the wall.  It’s only a matter of time.

Here's my first "belly" picture- it's not the most flattering but oh well :)

  3. Love your belly picture!! WHOOT WHOOT!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE it! :) Your weekly words of wisdom made me crack up. Love that! Sounds like you are making great progress, I'm glad your morning sickness has gone away.

    Have you ever thought about waiting till the delievery to know what sex your having? I have a friend who has done that with each baby so far. I don't think I could stand waiting.

    I am playing mental games, where I am not sure if I am already having symptoms post IUI or not. My boobs are soooo sore, and probably tmi, but my nipples are permantly hard too. I also have had major bloat, where basically none of my pants are fitting in the belly area. These cramps, and pressure I have been getting are making me crazy, I don't sleep and am usually up every 2 hours.
