Happy second trimester!! 13 Weeks

13 Weeks

How far along? 13 weeks! I am officially out of the first trimester today!
Total weight gain/loss: This week I am actually down about two pounds from where I have been sitting at.
Maternity clothes? Still managing to make it by with a few of my pairs of pants, and all of my shirts work so so far no. I also was given a few belly bands from my in-laws, so I think it will be a little while yet.
Stretch marks? I don't think any new ones really
Sleep: This week has actually been really good. I'm back to having a little more of that pregnancy insomnia, where you can't seem to fall asleep even though you are tired, but at the same time I've started getting a good portion of my energy back so I don't feel so exhausted all the time, and that has been awesome.
Best moment this week: We found out we might get to close on our house 3-4 weeks earlier than we originally thought we might
Miss anything? Not in particular. I've been feeling pretty good this week
Movement: I swear I'm still feeling the same small feelings that I was last week. I'm hesitant to say for sure that it's movement just because I'm still nervous that something happened that we will find out about at our next appointment, but I don't know.
Food cravings: Potato chips and french fries. The salt just really seems to settle my stomach when I'm having a rough time.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Mostly just going to long without eating or drinking. I still tend to get sick more often in the evenings that any other time of day
Have you started to show yet: I'd say my belly has definitely gotten bigger. I still don't think very many people would attribute it to being pregnant, but it's definitely there.
Gender: For several weeks now I've been thinking it was a boy, and Elli is convinced it's her baby brother, but this week I'm starting to question again and think maybe it's a girl. This seriously is driving me crazy to not know.
Labor signs: Still having some mild cramping, especially if I'm not drinking enough, but not too bad.
Bell button in or out? In, and there it is going to stay.
Wedding rings on or off? On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Still having more moodiness than I care to admit, but I'm getting better about that too, as my exhaustion is waning I'm starting to feel a little more like myself.
Looking forward to: Getting into our house and doing our official pregnancy announcement, my next OB appointment is tomorrow so getting reassurance and being able to finally feel like things are good and we are passed what happened last time.

  • 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.
She's about 2.9 inches long and weighs about .81 ounces, and — proportion-wise — her head's now about 1/3 the size of her body (remember? It used to be bigger!).
