13 Weeks

Oh my, how did the first trimester come and go (although some say it's not over til week 14)!?!?  Either way, I can't believe how fast it went. And since it was filled with many, many nauseated and exhausting days, I am certain the second and third trimester will only go faster!  Here's to hoping the nausea and exhaustion will be a thing of First Trimester's Past!

 

Onto to the 13 Week Pregnancy Update

How Big is Baby? The size of a peach!

Weight Gain?  0 this week, so +6 total

Workouts this Week: Stepmill cardio session, lower body weight session, and one serious 2 hour house cleaning that these days are considered one major aerobic workout . I'm pretty sure I sweated more that day than the other workouts combined!

Maternity Clothes?  Sweats, leggings, big sweaters and sweatshirts are still my BFFs.

Belly Button (in or out)? In

Sleep: This week sleep was great some nights, and worse on others. I had several times where I just couldn't fall back asleep after going to the bathroom, so that made for some very tiring days as work.  But for the most part, I'm still falling asleep in the 8 o'clock or early 9 o'clock hour and only getting up to pee once a night.

 

Cravings: Still nauseous, so sticking to rice chex, buttered rice noodles, ezekiel bread, and the daily spinach and fruit smoothie that I tend to choke down (gotta get the veggies in somehow!).

Aversions: Anything not listed above.

 

What I Missed: Endless energy I used to have

.

Symptoms: Still super nauseous, although now it's tolerable in the morning, gets worse in the afternoon, and by evening I'm doing everything in my power to keep my head out of the toilet.  Otherwise the constipation is somewhat under better control (thanks to colace and prunes), and acne subsided this week too...thank goodness!

 

Movement: Not yet.
 

Gender Prediction:*Dana- BOY *Jon- GIRL (as our OB said this week, one of us is right!)

Best Moment of the Week:  Having my sister and her hubby stay with us for the week of Christmas!! Love getting to spend time with them!

Worst Moment of the Week: Having serious pregnancy brain several times at work this week!!  Once I stood outside our bathroom door that has a 6 digit numerical code to punch into and just couldn't come up with it.  I had to walk to another bathroom that is a several minute walk away just because it wasn't behind a locked door!  Nice.

 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Finding out the gender of Little Lerma!! We had some genetic testing done at the 12 week appointment and it takes several weeks to come back, but we should know if we are Team Blue or Team Pink in less than 2 weeks!!

What do you think??? Boy or Girl???
