13 weeks preggo
Happy Easter Everyone!!!
Along: 13 Weeks
Size of baby: Baby is about the size of a peach. :) About 3 inches.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: During my 9th week I got the stomach flu which caused my weight to drop pretty drastically so I have been gaining at least 1-2 pounds a week since then. I'm finally back to my normal weight and now its time to start seeing the numbers grow on the scale!
Maternity Clothes: I haven't needed any maternity clothes yet. Although my pants are pretty snug. I have figured out that I can use my hair ties to keep my jeans "buttoned," which gives me a few more inches of room haha And the awesome mom that I work for has given me a large container of maternity things which is great and I am thankful that I will be able to save a few bucks there. :)
Gender: I have been going back and forth on if I think its a boy or a girl ever since I found out I was pregnant. In the very beginning I had a very strong feeling that it was a boy but now I feel like it may be a girl. So we shall see!
Movement: No movement yet.
Sleep: I have been sleeping fairly well. I wake up to pee at least once a night and lately have found it a little bit harder to get comfortable. Right before we found out that we were pregnant we purchased a new pillow top mattress which has been such a blessing so far, cause if I am getting uncomfortable on this mattress I can only imagine how I would be feeling on our old one!
What I miss: I'm not a big drinker by any means but Its funny how when you aren't able to have something you find yourself wanting it more lol So I guess I miss the occasional drink at dinner with friends. Luckily I wasn't a coffee drinker previous to pregnancy because I know that can be a hard one for a lot of mommies to be that were! :(
Cravings: I don't have any specific cravings yet but I do find it easier to eat things that may not be the greatest for me like pizza and fried chicken. I eat those things in moderation and for the sake of baby I keep my diet as healthy as possible by eating a lot of fruits and veggies.
Symptoms: I'm really enjoying this move into the second trimester because the nausea has subsided and the migraines have gone away, at least the frequency of them has. Now I get the occasional headache and tummy "growing" pains. I feel like I have a lot more energy now which feels great :) I feel very blessed on how easy of a pregnancy I have had so far! I hope and pray that continues!

Best Moment This Week: We got to hear baby's heartbeat! (Or as my dad calls it at the moment, "Little Fuzz Shifflett.") It was 160 and going strong! I was not feeling very pregnant the few days before that appointment so it was such a relief to know that baby was there and healthy. :) Plus I get super nervous about needles which is something I will have to get over, and with the power of God on my side I know I can. Anyways, this appointment included the first of many blood draws and I was a wreck before hand. Thankfully my wonderful husband went with me and the staff at the lab made me so super comfortable! It was the first time I made it through blood work with out almost fainting so that was a pretty awesome moment too! Just knowing that its all for the sake of taking care of baby helps as well. :) I am thanking God for the miracle of life everyday!
