Week #13

Seriously? Where did the time go? 2nd Trimester already?

How far along? 13weeks. Time has flown by way too fast.

Total weight gain/loss: No idea. We'll see at the end of the month

 Maternity clothes? Yes. One pair of maternity jeans and bought the shirt in the photo above..a simple long sleeve black tee.

Stretch marks? Not yet

Best moment this week:  Offically in the 2nd trimester now matter who thinks what.(Some say 12 weeks, others say 13 weeks)

Miss anything: Having energy. Last night I slept till 3pm(started out as a nap) woke up to take a 5 minute shower at 12am and went straight back in bed till 5am! Thats almost 14hours! 

Movement: No.

Food cravings: Fruit. but that's causing acid reflux. And tamales

Anything making you queasy or sick: I really don't know. my new symptom is random gagging. I'll be walking around or just sitting in bed and have a huge urge to gag till it makes my eyes water and stomach muscles strain. ... it's awful. 

Have you started to show yet: YES.  

Gender: No idea. I can't wait to find out though. We made the appointment to find out on Feb. 9th!! 

Labor Signs: No, no, no!  

  Belly Button in or out? In. But it's sore. I will have to take out my piercing soon. 

Wedding rings on or off? On! But only in public.. anything tight on me is irritating. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Content. Just really tired

Looking forward to: Midwife appointment on the 31st. And finding out the gender. I'm really excited!

"You’ve completed one whole third of your pregnancy -- and the reputed toughest one at that. You’ve grown a fetus that has vocal cords, teeth and even fingerprints (wow!) and you probably kept this incredible news (mostly) secret while you constantly wished you could shout it from the rooftops -- or, at the very least, use it as an excuse for getting to work late. It’s about this time that many parents-to-be start spreading the word (to more people than just close family and friends) that there’s a baby on the way. But know that there are no hard and fast rules about when you should divulge your secret. It could be after your next prenatal doctor visit, once you start showing or at a big family event where everyone will be gathered. Or maybe everyone already knows! That’s totally your call." - TheBump.com

                                your baby's the size of a peach!

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.

                                           your baby at 13 weeks

• 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.

Tum Tum's say's hello!
