Hello second trimester! I can't believe I finally made it this far! My belly has definitely started popping this week - so exciting! I feel like now all the fun stuff is going to really start rolling: feeling movement, finding out the sex, shopping!! I can't wait for what's ahead :)
How Far Along: 13 weeks
Baby is the size of: a peach
Symptoms: nausea is pretty much gone but my appetite still hasn't fully come back yet...I'm pretty excited for that to happen so I can really enjoy eating again. This week I have been getting this feeling in my stomach where it is just a lot of pressure...almost like I ate too much and my belly is stretched to the max. It's not really painful, just sort of uncomfortable but I figure it must be due to the huge amount of growing my belly has been doing lately! I also feel like I have much more energy again.
Have you told anyone? Everyone knows now!
Miss Anything? I was thinking this week that a hot tub dip would be nice, but oh well....
Food Cravings: Nothing too much...just really thirsty a lot. And craving sweet/sour candies.
Anything making you sick/queasy? Apparently pepperoni :/
Have you started to show yet? Yes! In just the past week, I feel like I have grown a ton! My pants are getting quite tight and I've had to buy a few maternity items this week. Maternity pants = heaven! Surprisingly though, I have only gained 1 pound since I got pregnant...I guess it's just all redistributed itself.
Gender prediction: I think it's a girl. Kevin
Mood: pretty good this week...had to get bloodwork done last weekend and that is always traumatic for me, but I survived! Nothing too crazy other than that.
Best Moment this week: We got some testing done and part of that was getting an ultrasound, so we got to see our baby! And it actually looks like a baby now! It's so exciting to see how much s/he has grown in the last few weeks! I love the little potbelly :) The ultrasound tech said everything looks perfect and the baby is measuring slightly ahead so that's good!
Looking forward to: finding out the sex! We should know within a month - we have another Dr appt tomorrow so we should know for sure when we can schedule it! There is a place nearby that does elective ultrasounds where you can find out the sex earlier...but I've been trying to say no because I want to wait and get our 3D ultrasound later on when there's more to see. But either way, it's happening soon and I am bursting with excitement to find out! :)
*Also, shout out to my dad who has been in the hospital this week with a very dangerous bacterial pneumonia that required surgery on his lungs to remove the infection. We are so lucky that this was caught in time and that the doctors have done such a great job taking care of him! Lots of prayers and good thoughts to him in his recovery process. Love you so much dad! <3
