Life's a Peach

How far along: 13 weeks

Baby is the size of a: Peach, although this seems misleading since I have a baby book I'm filling in and it has peach for week 17.  Maybe the 13 week peach is more about size and week 17 peach is more about weight?  Who cares.  I have an adorable 13 weeker in my ute.  Grow baby, grow!  Baby is about 2.9 inches long and weighs about 0.81 ounces.



Maternity clothes:  Not yet, but my squish seems to be moving up and out.  I can't imagine that fitted clothes would be comfortable anymore.

Stretch marks: Nothing yet.  But considering I have old ones, I imagine they are coming for me at some point.

Sleep: Sleep is this girl's best friend.  Honestly I can't imagine going back to work yet.  I'm typically sleeping from 10pm-7am every night, and a 1+ hour nap everyday.  And since our scare last week I'm not even doing anything crazy strenous.  How do people work full time and have energy to grow a tiny human?

Symptoms: Mild cramps/ute stretches.  I'm assuming growing pains.  Digestive track is better.  Occassional nausea, but I've been pretty lucky in that area.  Still loving finding the heartbeat on the Doppler.  That thing was worth every penny. 

Best moment of the week:  Graduating from the RE.  First OB appointment is July 18th.  Guess I'm just a normal pregnant lady now!

Miss anything:  Fruit.  Still can't stand any fruit by itself (although a banana in my cereal is still okay).

Movement: Not yet.  But I can't wait.  Seeing the baby dance around at our appointments last week was so amazing.  What's it going to be like when I can actually feel baby?

Cravings/aversions: Still avoiding fruit.  I know it's not the healthiest choice, but most fruit honestly makes me want to gag.  Also I'm all about desserts lately.  But, let's be honest, when has this gal turned down dessert in the past? ;)  Also, I caught a few wiffs of friend's beer/wine last weekend and it made my stomach turn over.  In a not pleasant way.

Belly button in or out? Long way from changes, I'm sure.

Sex: Still no inclination either way. 

Mood:  After all the drama last week, I'm happy things have calmed down.  No more bleeding/spotting, so I'm assuming it was just one of those random things.  Hopefully our little trouble maker keeps quiet for the next six months.

Speaking of...... we're almost to second tri!!
