13 WeeksBump Board 4

 

How far along?  13 Weeks 5 days
Size of Baby:  Georgia Peach!
Total weight gain/loss: At my doctor visit this week, I have lost 1 lb. from pre pregnancy weight
Maternity clothes?  Some… I have been wearing mostly things I bought for pregnancy since they are loose but not specifically maternity clothes.  Although, as I write this I am in some black maternity capris and they feel just as good as my pj pants!
Sleep:  Off and on.  I am still trying to train myself to sleep on my side but since that causes me to not sleep as well, I am enjoying my back while I can!  It is usually that I start by trying to lay on my side and in the middle of the night I give up and fall fast asleep on my back.
Best moment this week:  Hearing our little one’s heartbeat and knowing we have this precious gift growing strong!
Have you told family and friends:  Yes! Still not Facebook official though
Miss Anything?  My chiropractor in KS!  Hahaha, not baby related, but I do!  I have found one out here but I just don’t get the same relief.  I’m thinking it is probably because they can’t adjust me the same way now that I’m pregnant not the ability of the chiropractor out here.
Movement: Not yet! So excited for it though!
Food cravings: It has changed to salty this week!  Sour cream and onion and BBQ chips have been the go to satisfying treat these days.  I also had some shrimp sushi this week which was so good I have wanted it everyday since!
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I’ve not been sick, but potatoes do not sound or look good at all.  However the fact that chips have been so good is ironic
Have you started to show yet: I feel like it, but I think it still looks like I need to lay off the chips and cookies not the cute bump yet.
Gender prediction:  I haven’t had a strong feeling this week so I am still sticking with gut from earlier
Labor Signs: Nope
Symptoms:  Headaches, not my usual energy, and some round ligament pain
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  It’s been a busy week, but I’m enjoying feeling better which makes me feel way more normal
Looking forward to:  Our ultrasound… still not for another 6 weeks or so, but hearing the heartbeat makes me want to see our precious little one!
