Pregnancy Highlights
How Far Along: 13 weeks
Size of baby: Peach (average size 2.9 inches and .81 ounce) Proportion-wise -- his/her head is now about 1/3 the size of his/her body. Baby has vocal cords, teeth and even fingerprints (wow!). His/her intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to their more permanent place, in the tummy. {info found on The Bump}
Total Weight Gain/Loss: it appears that I've now gained 2 pounds -- probably Thanksgiving meals. I will know exact weight/gain loss at doctor appointment this week.
Cravings: fruit salad, ham and cheese sandwiches, punch made with pineapple juice
Symptons: I continue to have some bouts of "feeling nauseous," but not really sick. I did get sick twice this week while swallowing Tylenol for a cold. I have been fighting a cold for over a week now. Also, I am still loving sleep. I took a nap this past Saturday morning after only being out of bed for 2 hours.
Sleep: I'm sleeping okay - except for trips to the bathroom and changing positions often.
Movement: Not yet, but I am looking forward to it
Gender: Can't wait to find out December 28th.
Maternity Clothes: Elastic and stretch-fabric are my saving grace now! Not ready for maternity clothes; but regular clothes with defined waists are uncomfortable.
What I miss: Energy - I guess my body is really working hard on baby-making.
What I'm looking forward to: OBGYN appointment this Wednesday
Best Moment this week: Hearing family talk about the baby at Thanksgiving dinners. Excitement is building!
