13 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 13 Weeks- second trimester!

Size of Baby: 3 inches-about the size of a Jell-O box

Total Weight Gain/Loss: 1 lb

Maternity Clothes: The maternity jeans have been making more frequent appearances these days. My regular jeans just start feeling really uncomfortable towards the end of the day. I think my Bella Band may be a permanent part of the wardrobe very soon! As you can see in the picture, there's a little baby bump pulling at the front of my dress.

Gender: Don't know yet. Every single person has a different opinion. I don't really have a feeling one way or another.

Movement: Yes! It's not all the time or every day, but on nights I have eaten something like ice cream and am lying the bed trying to fall asleep I feel those amazing little butterflies and taps! Such a great feeling!

Sleep: Due to Harrison's not feeling well sleep hasn't been great for anyone within ear shot. But we are praying Harrison is on the mend and good sleep will come with it.

What I Miss: This week I got a migraine and really just wanted a caffeinated Diet Coke.

Cravings: Quaker instant oatmeal, the strawberry or peach flavored; weird I know.

Symptoms: This week I have been waking up during the middle of the night famished! I eat a normal dinner like usual, but then wake up absolutely starving-like can't go back to sleep without going downstairs to eat something kind of starving.

Best Moment of the Week: Feeling the baby fluttering around!

Also, just to keep everyone up-to-date because I know you all love knowing every boring detail of our lives, but our computer crashed two weeks ago. It had all of our pictures, all my favorite blogs I read and follow, etc. on it. So blogging is now done when I can find a time to get to the one computer in the house that nine people share. I also can't remember a lot of the blog addresses I used to follow so I am way behind in catching up reading on some of your blogs. Hopefully the computer will be fixed and returned very soon so I can get back to regular blogging!
