Goodbye 1st Trimester!

12 WEEKS

October 2, 2013

How far along? 12 weeks down, 28 to go!

Maternity clothes? Yes with jeans, not yet with tops (except this red one for weekly pictures). If I don’t wear my maternity jeans, I just wear skirts with stretchy waist bands. Also, I used a rubber band with the above black non-maternity pants. :)

Stretch marks? no

Sleep: pretty good, though I wake up 1-2 times to go to the restroom

Best moment this week: Today we heard baby's heartbeat, and it was the absolute best sound!

Miss anything? Not having to worry about what I can eat and food aversions

Movement: no

Food cravings: Fruit, cheese, and turkey sandwiches. AND I found out at the doctor’s today that I can have them (yes!) as long as I know they have been in the fridge and have absolutely not been sitting out.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Certain foods at certain times still make me queasy. It still really just depends.

Gender: We find out November 18^th! The heart beat was on the faster side today which could mean a girl…

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: I have been more hungry lately but can still only eat small meals.

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy during the day, but I can get cranky when I start to get tired. I am also not as patient as I used to be, so my students and sometimes hubby might say more moody. ;)

Looking forward to: Buying a heartbeat monitor so I can hear the heartbeat. I’m also feeling really ready to start putting the nursery together. I'm excited to go shopping!

13 WEEKS

October 9, 2013

How far along? 13 weeks down, 27 to go!

Maternity clothes? Yes with jeans, not yet with tops. I also wear skirts with stretchy waists or use a rubber band with my non-maternity pants.

Stretch marks? no

Sleep: Still pretty good

Best moment this week: Several good days in a row of feeling well and thinking about taking the little one to a pumpkin patch next year – can’t wait!

Miss anything? Not being so nonchalant about puking. It’s kind of become semi-normal to me unfortunately…though it’s been much better this week, whew!

Movement: no

Food cravings: I had my first turkey sandwich this week (it was divine) and know I will continue to enjoy and crave these.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Certain foods at certain times still make me queasy. It still really just depends. Also, most mornings – ha!

Gender: We find out November 18^th

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: Heartburn! I have had some at night right before bed, but several times this week it flared up late afternoon and continued on and off all evening.

Belly button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Happy or moody most of the time: Mostly happy. :)

Looking forward to: I’m looking forward to putting the nursery together and finding out if it’s a boy or girl, especially after having a dream it was a boy. I’ve had several dreams baby was a girl, but this was my first one about a boy!
