I'm thankful for my amazing husband who deals with me no matter how moody or sick I am. Who takes me to buy maternity clothes and makes me dinner. I'm thankful for my mom who is there for me when I need her and a pretty yellow dog that loves us more than anything else in the world.
But most of all I thank God for the little baby growing in my belly that brings so much love to our family already.
Week 13: Baby is the size of a peach
Average size: 2.9 inches, .81 oz.Teeth and vocal cords are appearing...
Total weight gain: Not sure yet. I don't have a scale at home. (12 lbs as of last week)
How I'm feeling: Still getting sick in the evenings from about 7pm until I fall asleep like clockwork. I've been having some heartburn, headaches and back pain that feels like a pinched nerve.
Maternity clothes? Nick took me to the Motherhood store and bought me some more pants last weekend. A pair of leggings that felt so good I cried when I put them on (I cry at everything) and a pair of jeans that look pretty good actually.
Stretch marks? No. Is the coco-butter thing a myth? Some say it's just genetics, you either get them or you don't.
Sleep: This week I have been waking up only 2 times through out the night to pee. My insomnia is still bad though and if I don't take unisom (safe to take) I don't sleep at all.
Exercise: I still haven't had the energy to work out. There is no way in the mornings or after work I would feel good enough or have the energy and when I do have energy I try to make something for the blog or clean around the house and run errands (things that I have fallen behind on) I am hoping that by next week I will be able to break open that Lindsay Brin workout DVD. P.S. I get winded even walking out to the car.
Best moment this week: Putting on those amazing leggings.
Miss Anything? I really miss bubble baths :(
Movement: None yet, but I've been told maybe by week 16. I had some really vivid dreams of being able to feel baby last night though.
Food cravings: Food has been hard for me this week. I'm not craving anything which means that nothing sounds good to me. I'm indifferent. I have been eating a lot of fruit lately though. Mandarin oranges, pears, canned peaches (weird) and grapes.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The smell of Honey when we pick her up from daycare and strangely enough, gusts of fresh air make me nauseous. Weird I know.
Have you started to show yet: Same little bump as last week.
Gender prediction: Still thinking it's a boy
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On

I took baths my whole pregnancy just don't make it too hot. Also I came up with the cranberry apple sorbet
ReplyDeleteI've taken a few that are just warm. I seem to like them pretty hot though so it's not the same. Cranberry apple sorbet sounds AMAZING! :)
DeleteTeeth and vocal cords are appearing!? How insane and amazing is that?! Oh I'm so happy for you guys. And I firmly believe the coco butter thing is a myth. I think it helps maybe a tiny bit but my doctor told me it's genetics. And I just know you're having a boy!
ReplyDeleteI had bad insomnia with my second son - I would get to sleep fine and then be awake at 2 am and not be able to get back to sleep. Acupuncture was a lifesaver. Slept great for two weeks on just one session. Another tip - fish oil - I took it throughout my pregnancy (again the second one) and had a baby that was sleeping four hours at a time at birth and through the night by 8 weeks. Helps develop their brain. Good luck and enjoy! Milk it for all it's worth - you will never get the same treatment again. :)
ReplyDeleteWe are going out tomorrow to find some fish oil pills! Thank you :)
DeleteI loved reading about your pregnancy! It really does bring a family together.
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your little family (present and future) had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
