Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: Thirteen Weeks--I am officially starting my second trimester! Woo hoo!
First, I want to apologize for not having a belly picture to post this week. I am totally bummed about it. I was out of town when I actually turned 13 weeks, and Bryan left town when I returned home. I tried to snap a few selfies, but yuck! I am no good at those. This one will have to do for this week.
Size of baby: Baby M is almost 3 inches, or about the size of a peach.
Movement: I went to the doctor the other day, and when she pressed the Doppler onto my belly, I swear I felt something push back against her. Every now and then, I think I might feel something, but definitely nothing consistent, yet.
Heartbeat: 167 bpm
Fetal Development:
“Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords… savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby’s tummy. (Much more convenient.)” – thebump.com
“Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.” -babycenter.com
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am holding steady at six pounds lost.
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing some maternity jeans and shorts and some regular (some with the BellaBand and some without). Some of my regular tops are still fitting, but others have been packed away. I am also wearing a lot of dresses.
Gender: We are not going to find out! I am so excited about this! Although this is going to make for a long pregnancy, I get more excited about this every day.
Gut feeling: I really feel in my heart that it is a boy. I can't really explain it. Funny though, when I dream, I dream about girls. Same thing happened when we were expecting Gannon.
Sleep: I am actually still sleeping pretty well. I think the only reason I wasn't before was because I was so nauseated all the time.
What I miss: Honestly, I miss drinking a beer on the porch in the afternoon. Especially with the weather being so nice!
Cravings: Pickles, pickles, and more pickles. Claussen pickles! I know, I know...how cliche', but they are absolutely fabulous!! They are like a drink and a snack all in one :)
Aversions: Still nothing specific. I guess maybe I am in the clear? I probably just jinxed myself!
Symptoms: I still can't eat breakfast, because I am too sick in the morning. But it is pretty much limited to the mornings, now! Yay!
I am also still pretty tired, but as long as I take a nap, I feel fine all day.
