Week 13: Peach

Black, just for you mom :)

Week 13!  Only 3 days until the end of the first trimester.  Can we all then breathe a sigh of relief?  I am ready!

Baby is the size of a peach this week (2.9 in and 0.81 oz).  Can you believe she's forming vocal cords and teeth?  And even though she's still teeny, she already has fingerprints.  Her 
intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to their more permanent place, in her tummy.


How big is baby: The size of a peach.  About 2.9 inches long.  She now weighs in at about 0.81 ounces.    

Weight gain/loss:  +4 lb this morning.  

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Still no complaints!

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Still starving all afternoon.  Unfortunately, I ran out of Trix on Sunday  :(  Aaron couldn't believe I polished off a large size box in one week :)  Ooops!  Still loving pizza.  McD's always sounds good too.  I'm being good though and not indulging.   

Exercise:  Walking and DVDs.

Gender: We'll find out in October!

Movement: No.

The belly:  Still big at night.  Maybe I should start taking morning pictures too as a comparison.   

What I'm spazzing about:  Everything ok since last week.  

What I'm loving:  Just being pregnant.  Hitting the 2nd trimester soon!  Although, omg, that means I am 1/3 of the way through!!!  CRAZY.  Starting to think about trading in my car, the nursery, registry, etc.  Basically, everything I've been putting off until we are out of that scary 1st trimester.

Symptoms:  Tired, sick at the end of the day.  Minimal cramping if I don't drink enough water again.  This is supposedly from my uterus growing.

What I'm looking forward to:  May 2 for our next appointment.  2nd trimester in THREE DAYS!  

Best moment of the week:  My mom and I plan to go clothes shopping on Mother's Day and I'm so excited!  Only a few weeks away!
