13 week bump update

Total weight gain: 1 lb

Maternity clothes: Not yet, still wearing my normal clothes for now. I did, however, stock up on some of my favorite maternity basic tanks & tees from Target over the weekend.

Stretch marks: I just started my regimen of Palmer's cocoa butter, Mustela, and bio oil twice a day. It worked with Blake, so fingers crossed it will work again.

Sleep: Sleeping through the night is now a thing of the past. I'm waking 1-3 times/night to go to the bathroom, and several times I'm awake for at least an hour because I can't go back to sleep. 

Miss anything? Alcohol LOL. I miss my cosmo on a Friday night.

Exercise: I've been going to the gym a few times a week, even if its just for 20 mins of cardio on the elliptical machine. I've been doing the pregnancy DVD's I did with Blake and love them, its a full body workout with light weights. We try to go on walks, but its just been so hot lately.

Movement: Not yet

Food cravings: Cold red grapes. The last few days I've been craving salad, mainly chicken Caesar salad (the one from Cheesecake Factory to be exact.)

Anything make you queasy/sick? I wish I could pin point it. The queasiness comes out of nowhere.

Have you started to show yet: No, I just look & feel bloated.

Gender: It's killing me not knowing! I've had a few girl dreams (with Blake I had boy dreams) but who knows. Hopefully we will find out at 16 weeks... a long 3 week wait.

 

Belly button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Symptoms: Where do I start, ha! Nausea (I'm drinking ginger ale as I type.) Just when I think its starting to let up, it comes back with a vengeance. I'm great in the mornings, then around 4pm I start feeling sick. Acne on my face & for the first time in my life, on my upper back. My face hasn't been as oily lately though. Some slight cramping, I remember this feeling... its everything stretching.

Happy or moody most of the time: Happy over the weekend. Last week was a different story though. I was so moody, I think a stressful week at work was to blame.

Looking forward to: So much right now! I'm most excited to take Blake to Disneyland for the first time on his birthday. I can't believe he is going to be 2 next week, I'm just so excited to celebrate him and make his day extra special!

Labor signs: No
