Week 13

 The weeks seem to be going by so fast! However I feel impatient and want to show / have a baby belly. My midwife told me since I have a long back (which is great for birthing) it also may mean I will take longer to show.

How far along: 13 Weeks- This is the last week of my first trimester!!

How big is baby:  Baby is almost 3 inches long (about the size of a pea pod / shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Total weight gain/loss: I think I am up 5lbs

Maternity clothes:  Nothing new, I wear leggings a lot because they are comfortable. Sweats come one when I get home :)

Sleep:  Feel like I am sleeping better, not getting up at night as much. I learned if I take a shower or bath before bed my legs don't act up as much. I also am taking magnesium at night.

Best moment this week:  Attending Education session on ”Natural Rhythms of Labor and Birth.” It was great to hear a variety of experiences people have had in labor and birth. I love having information,  the more information I have the more confident I feel.  Thank you Jennifer for recommending this!  http://westernwichildbirth.wordpress.com/

Miss Anything: Not feeling bloated.  

Movement: Baby moves a lot but it is too early to feel it.

Food cravings: Hot fudge and soup.

Symptoms: I get tired very easily, this week I started to get more headaches.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not this week, I did notice I have a hard time picking out things that actually sound good to eat though.

Gender: Unknown

Looking forward to: Getting a baby belly!
