::Baby G Take 2:: Week 13


How far along? 13 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 2 lbs. (Haven't checked from last doctors appt but I go on the 8th so I'll find out soon)

Maternity clothes? Yep! I am still able to wear non-maternity shirts but sometimes they don't hide the elastic waistband all that well. 

Stretch marks? Not yet! I haven't started applying lotion but think I need to start. I got them last time towards the end and didn't even realize it until she was out. But I have a new brand of lotion that will hopefully help this time around.

Symptoms: This week was pretty good. I had a few minor bouts of heartburn and nausea but nothing too bad. My breasts are hurting for the first time this pregnancy which is a little strange since that is typically a first sign of pregnancy. I have had some minor back pain also.

Sleep: Getting better. I got a Snoogle pillow last weekend and it has helped with the back pain during the night. I used this pillow with Henley and it's seriously amazing!

Best moment this week: Not pregnancy related but Henley has been saying sentences this week and it's so exciting!

Have you told family and friends: Yes everyone knows. 

Miss anything? I've missed the ability to drink something other than water and milk!

Movement: Nothing yet.

Food cravings: I craved some tuna casserole and hubs made a pretty good recipe of it. Just like last pregnancy I am loving baking.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing specifically.

Have you started to show yet: Yes

Gender: I'm guessing girl. I made an appointment for a gender ultrasound for Sept 13th, I'll be 15 weeks. I cannot wait to find out!

Labor Signs: None. 

Belly Button in or out? In but still stretched from last time. 

Wedding Rings On or Off? On

Happy or Moody: Happy but a little stressed this week about Henley's sleeping habits (or lack there of) but it's getting better!

Exercise: None this week. :-(

Looking forward to: Finding out the gender and being able to start the nursery!
