Week 13 Update

How far along?  13 weeks

Total weight gain:  2.5lbs as of last week

Maternity clothes:  Not yet. My jeans still fit but I've been wearing a lot of maxi dresses. I wear scrubs everyday for work and luckily those have an elastic waistband.

Stretch marks:  No, and hoping it stays that way. I put Palmer's cocoa butter on twice a day.

Sleep:  Waking up at least two times in the night to go to the bathroom but overall sleeping pretty well. I try to fall asleep on my left side, but usually wake up on my stomach.

Miss anything?  Sushi. The raw kind. I love yellowtail sashimi and obviously can't have that for a while.

Exercise:  My mom got me a pregnancy fitness DVD set that I love! They incorporate 3-5lb weights and cardio based on trimester. She has some great stuff on her site too http://www.lindsaybrin.com/  I've also been walking 1-1.5 miles with Andrew and our dog Lily about five times a week.

Movement:  None yet, but waiting for those flutters everyone talks about!

Food cravings:  Bean & cheese burritos, smoothies, fruit, and this week I've been obsessed with carrots & chips with ranch dip.

Anything make you queasy/sick?  Meat, the smell of meat, and the smell of hospital cafeterias. Andrew barbecued chicken the other night (which I've been able to eat) and I couldn't smell or eat it, but I ate a chicken taco today no problem. Go figure.

Have you started to show yet:  Some days yes, some days no. I think I just look like I've eaten too many donuts.

Gender:  Thinking girl, but a few weeks ago I had two dreams that it was a boy. We find out in a few weeks and I can't wait! I can't wait to start shopping! I added a poll in the left column of the home page so be sure to vote!

Belly button in or out:  In.

Wedding rings on or off:  On.

Symptoms:  Round ligament pain, or what I like to call that sharp pain that feels like a knife and only lasts a few seconds at a time. Still tired, but not as tired as I have been.

Happy or moody most of the time:  Mostly happy but sometimes little things set me off that normally wouldn't.

Looking forward to:  Feeling those flutters, seeing my college girlfriends for lunch this weekend, and getting my hair done tomorrow. (Don't mind the major roots in the pic below)
