13 weeks:
Well, I didn't update last week as not much had changed since the week before. The best thing that's happened since the last post is my nausea has almostly completely subsided!! I am soo relieved to be finally feeling better. I was having some headaches also, but those have also gotten better since seeing my chiropracter :) She is seriously amazing! Other than that, me and baby are doing GREAT! My tummy is growing (still just looks fat to me though..) and I have a feeling I will 'look' pregnant sooner rather than later..I'm excited to have a 'baby bump' though!! :)
Here are some excerpts on whats happening with me and baby since my last post:
Week 12:Your baby's now the size of a plum. As you move into the 2nd trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development phase all her systems are fully formed.
Week 13:
Baby is now the size of a peach. Your fetus is now forming teeth and vocal cords..savor this, their nonfunctional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with his head now only one third the size of his body. And intestines are in the process of moving from umbilical cord to baby's tummy--much more convenient.
Fun Questions:
How far along are you? 13 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain? Still at about 5 lbs
How much does baby weigh? appx .81 oz
Maternity clothes? The pants are DEFINITELY way more comfy now :)
Stretch marks? Not yet...still crossing my fingers!
Sleep? Getting better, it's mostly crappy due to working night shift again..
Best moment this week? Hitting the 2nd trimester mark!! Woohoo! :)
Movement: Not yet, they say I should start feeling it in a couple weeks, I'm looking forward to it!
Food cravings: Not much really..
Milestones: Made it successfully to the 2nd trimester!! And I'm finally feeling better, no more nausea and not as much fatigue :)
