13 weeks & baby bump

i turned 13 weeks pregnant this past sunday!  yay for 2nd trimester!!

baby bump @ 13 wks

Pregnancy Highlights

How far along: 

13 weeks

Size of baby: 

about 3 inches long

Maternity clothes: 

i haven't broken out my maternity clothes stash, yet.  luckily, i can still button my jeans & dress pants

Gender: 

won't know for another month or 2.  i would love for it to be a girl.. since i'm the only girl out of 5 kids & mom died.. so i'm really the only girl (via blood) & there are 4 grandsons.. with another grandson due in june.  we need a little princess!  but my desire to have a healthy baby outweighs the desire to have a girl, especially after having those health scares with fox.

Movement: 

baby is alive & moving inside!  with a healthy heartbeat!  there have been a few times where i thought i might have felt something.. but think it may still be early.  but i have heard that during your 2nd pregnancy, you can feel them move a lot sooner. 

Sleep: 

it takes me FOREVER to fall asleep.  and i toss & turn a lot.  but can luckily still sleep on my tummy!  ;-)

What I miss: 

well, i finally weaned fox from nursing.. after 19+ months.  i miss that bond & time between us.  but he is definitely still a momma's boy.  and he loves to lay on me & give me sugars.  so i love that!

Cravings: 

nothing really

Aversions:  

mexican food

Symptoms: 

i hate throwing up.  i don't really have nausea, but just throw up on a whim.  hope that now i'm into my 2nd trimester i won't be throwing up.

Best moment this week: 

well, last week, i had an appt & got to listen to the baby's heartbeat!  and i had finally lost those last few pesky pounds of pregnancy weight with fox.  who knew that all i had to do in order to lose that baby weight was get pregnant again & throw up a lot!  ha!  and i've started working out again!
