January 31 - February 6, 2012
How are you measuring? 13 weeks
Size of baby? According to Baby Bump, the baby is now 2.9 inches, and the size of a peach, and weighs .81 ounces.
Heartbeat? 164 at the doctor’s appointment on January 23.
Total weight gain/loss? This is getting harder and harder for me to measure! I had one morning where I looked to have gained 2 pounds, but then I ended up being right back where I started two mornings later. I am going to say my total weight gain from my first appointment till now is probably around 2 pounds.
Maternity clothes? I’m trying to hold out on the maternity clothes because I know I really don’t have that many items that are late winter/early spring friendly. I have one pair of jeans that I can still button that feel comfortable, and I am wearing my work pants with the button undone. Let’s hope I can hold on a bit longer!
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep? I’ve been sleeping ok. There have been a couple of nights this week where I woke up 4 times to use the restroom during the night! If it weren’t for those interruptions I would be sleeping great! Also, I am still able to sleep on my belly with my weight mostly on my hip. I know when I can no longer stand to sleep on my stomach it will be a bit different.
Best moment this week? Finding out my mom was coming for a visit in 2 weeks! I can’t wait to see her and start cleaning out the room that we will convert to the baby’s room!
Movement? Not yet, I wish I had a countdown for this!
Food cravings? DONUTS!!! A new donut shop opened only 3 minutes from our house and this has been our weakness the last two Saturday mornings. Ok, ok….so maybe we also had donuts Sunday morning for breakfast! To be honest, I haven’t really been eating that healthy and I know I need to change that! I definitely ate my share of queso dip and pizza rolls while we watched the Super Bowl. I don’t think this baby much cares for the healthy stuff I use to love, because after I eat it I feel terrible!
Gender predictions? Still trying to not get our hopes up from the last doctor visit, but I guess I am still leaning towards boy.
What I miss: This week I missed volleyball! Back at the beginning of the school year B and I were “recruited” for a co-ed league. We weren’t sure when the league started, but it is now in full swing. I went to the games on Saturday and had to sit in the bleachers while my team played. It was torture to be sitting while everyone played! I really want to keep going to the games and support B, but it really was hard to sit on the sidelines!
What I'm looking forward to: Looking forward to my next doctor’s appointment on February 17th, especially since my mom will be in town to go with me!
How are you feeling? I have been feeling great. I have been able to finally figure out the foods that make me feel “bad”, and I have been trying to avoid them.
Symptoms? No major symptoms. I have been having a dull cramping feeling in what I think is my uterus. I think it is probably stretching and things are adjusting. I wouldn’t say it has been painful, but it has definitely been uncomfortable. My energy level this weekend wasn’t the greatest, but I just have to remind myself I’m growing a baby!
i understand about the food, katie-bug. when i was pregnant with mia, i couldn't eat salads, fish or hummus. even the thought of those things made we want to puke - of which i was doing enough of already! haha!
