13 Weeks - See ya, first trimester!

I'm officially in my last week of my first trimester. Yay! Not for nothin' but those first few months were torture. The worry, the stress, the sickness, the lack of sleep, the constant peeing, the crying for no reason - torture. 

Oh and the waiting - the waiting was the most torturous part of all. But now that it's all behind me and I'll be referred to my OBGYN, I'll have regular check ups on baby, and I am feeling pretty darned good! 

I made my pregnancy public this weekend as well, so that was fun. Now all I have left to do, besides finding out the sex, is eat well, sleep, move my body a bit more than last time, and prepare! 

And buy a maternity winter coat! :(


How far along?: 13 weeks

Due Date: March 24, 2020

Baby is the size of a(n): Lemon

Total weight gain/loss:  I gained! A couple pounds, and I am a-okay with that. 

The Bump: Growing, it's getting harder to hide, and I will need to get some new pants!

Symptoms/How I'm feeling: Nothing major. Feeling much better!

Food Cravings/Aversions: Nothing this week. My diet has been really awful this week!

Sleep: Better; only once or twice a night to pee.

Weddings Rings On or Off: On. But I'm getting nervous! I don't want them to get stuck!

Exercise: None, I will attempt more walking when it's a bit warmer, and I really do need to plan to do some yoga, especially as my sleep is getting better. I found a cool prenatal yoga channel on youtube with 5 different classes, so that's kind of perfect!

Any Names Picked Out Yet: Yes. Not telling.

Gender: Unknown. It's not real to me until I know. 

Movement: Yes, I've definitely felt movement, which is not uncommon for second timers. Baby seems to sit  mostly in the bottom left side of my uterus - I always feel it left of my belly button, and that's where I can find the heartbeat with my Doppler.

Maternity Clothes: Not yet. Soon....


Labor Signs: None - too soon.

What I miss: Not looking kinda pregnant but kinda fat? You can't really tell that I'm pregnant but I definitely have a belly so that's... attractive...

Best Moment of the Week: Telling people.

What I’m excited about/looking forward to: finding out the gender! Eeee!
