13 weeks!

I am posting this a little late, the story of my life lately. Between pregnancy, work, my masters, Max, Phil and running a home I can barely tell if I am coming or going.

How far along: 13 weeks
Size of baby: Peach, 2.9 inches
Weight gain/loss: +6 pound, 124. It seems like each week I slowly gain a pound. I weigh everyday sometimes it says 125 sometimes its says 122. I will stick with 124.
Maternity clothes: I bought a few pieces this weekend. I needed some new jeans, my jeans from last pregnancy are way too big. It depends. If I want to be comfortable I wear some maternity pieces other wise I am pretty much in my regular clothes with belly bands.
Gender: ??? This baby will be a surprise! The anticipation is really exciting.
Movement: soft flutters here and there :)
Sleep: this week not so great...
Exercise: Still running, but not long distances, weight training, and yoga/pilates. I have discovered prenatal pilates and I love it!!! So this week I have been doing that along with cardio. Running is still going, but I will admit I get winded very easily.
What I miss: nothing this week :)
Cravings: My cereal craving has seemed to disappear and I am now left with 7 boxes of cereal that I may not eat. Strawberries and tomatoes have been a huge craving this week, I normally do not eat tomatoes but when I am pregnant I can't get enough!
Aversions: ??? I am pretty hungry all the time and can eat whatever.
Symptoms: My symptoms are really letting up. My nauseousness comes on occasionally. My energy is picking back up. I did cardio for an hour yesterday...that hasn't happened in that last 12 weeks. Bloated and moody. Maybe not a symptom, but my hair seems so much thicker, and I love it.
Best moment this week: Seeing my sweet precious baby at the ultrasound. Baby is nice and healthy. Strong fast heart beat and growing just like he or she needs to. I also had an appt. with my midwife and we heard the heart beat and the first thing she said was, Oh! it's high, probably a girl. I then said, I don't want to know!!! I know heart rate doesn't give away the gender, but I don't want any advice :) I am still pretty sure its a boy!


No bare belly pics this week. Sorry but you can compare 5 weeks to 13 weeks :)

 
What a difference 8 weeks make.
