13 Weeks - Peach

Weekly Pregnancy Journal

How far along: 13 w, 0 d - Woo Hoo for 2nd Tri!
Total weight gain/loss: + 5.6. Ouch. But in my defence, we spent basically every evening last week with our realtor, and ate nothing but fast food because we only had 5 minutes to eat. And we have no food in the house, because we've had no time to do groceries. Once we buy food, I'll be back to normal eating habits again and will hopefully slow down my quick progression to whale-hood.
Maternity clothes: I went shopping on Friday and bought some maternity clothes, and I've never been more comfortable in my life. Hooray!
Stretch marks: No
Sleep: Is normal
Best moment this week: Spilling the rest of the beans and finally just being pregnant instead of secretly pregnant!
Movement: Bowels - still totally normal. Baby - Apparently moving up a storm, but I still can't feel it.
Food cravings: Sandwiches, fruit. But I don't think that's really pregnancy related - I think we just need to do groceries, and I always want what isn't in the fridge.
Aversions: Nothing.
Gender: Still no idea.
Labour Signs: None
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Still would love a glass of wine... but otherwise, I'm okay.
What I am looking forward to: Our next ultrasound... which won't be for weeks. My belly popping so I look truly pregnant! Getting my highlights touched up again (since it's 'controversial', I decided to wait until 2nd tri to get them done. I'm going to make an appointment for this Friday)
Weekly Wisdom: If you see a house you like, don't hum and haw over it - just buy it before someone else does!!

Symptoms this week:
I can see why people call this the golden stage of pregnancy - I feel great! I feel kind of fat still (looking forward to my tummy 'popping'), but otherwise, I feel fab!


Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)
