13 and 14 week Update Combined

*This week the baby is:   3.5-4 inches and weighs 1.75oz
*How far along: 13w 6d 
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013.
*Total Weight gain/loss: 14 pounds.  Yikes.  (just had an appointment today)  So I have gained half my pregnancy weight.  Now to slow that down majorly for the next 10 weeks or so...  gonna be tough.
*Maternity Clothes?  My mom and I went to Thyme Maternity and I got two pairs of jeans, buy one get one free!  So that was awesome.  Got skinny jeans with zippers at the bottom, and regular bootcut with FULL PANEL.  Waaaay better that the low rise ones I got at Old Navy in the beginning.  I also got an orange tank top, a navy crocheted open cardigan thing, and a button up sweater that will hopefully work as my summer jacket. Oh and I got a blue long short sleeved shirt.  Kinda hard to describe.  I really like it though.  I also saw a bathing suit there that might work!!  I didn't try it on as when I saw it I had already tried on a bunch of things and didn't feel like stripping again.  My belly growth seemed to be at a stand still for about 2 weeks but now in the past few days I feel like it's growing a bit.  Hope I really  pop soon!
*Sleep:  Still need 9 or more hours of sleep to feel good.  Still getting tired in the evening.  
*Best moment this week:  I just heard the baby's heartbeat today at my full prenatal check up!  It was 156!  Very exciting and relieving knowing baby is still growing.  Baby was sitting on the left side of my belly.  Just above my pubic bone, right on target.  :)
*Movement?  Baby is probably moving lots.  Now that I know where baby is laying right now, hopefully I will be able to tell which twitches might be baby!
*Food Cravings:  Not really having any cravings these days, just randomly.
*Symptoms:  Getting up to pee about once or twice a night.  Gaggy/gagging.    Although the last 1 1/2 weeks I haven't gagged nearly as might!  (yay!)  Eating too much at one time still makes me feel sick. Still feeling yucky often, usually after eating. My nips have been more sore the past few weeks.  Biiiig boobs.  My feet are still sore at work if I stand for longer than a couple of hours, but my boos graciously gave me a chair now to sit down so that has been helping a lot!  I had some sharp but mild pain that was consistent when standing and walking for about 8 hours the other day, not cramps just kinda stabby pain but when I layed down it went away.  The next day it was gone.  Apparently it's just from the uterus growing and ligaments stretching.

 Gender: It has a gender, but we have not found out.
*Labor Signs: None, better not be for a long time!
*Belly Button in or out:  Still slightly shallower.  
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  I'm getting more into things.  I look forward to delivering and seeing baby and I often wonder what he looks like.  (will probably refer to baby as a he throughout, just easier).  
*What I miss:  Bologna sandwiches!!
*What I'm looking forward to:  Going to MB in 2 weeks, and also selling the house and moving to MB.
*Milestones:  Hearing the heartbeat and knowing baby is ok!
*Any new stretchmarks: No.  

*NEW CATEGORY* Things We Have Gotten:  We ordered a crib!  It's white and we got it with the help of J's mom from Babies R Us.  I bought a crib sheet, some soothers (for a boy, and also for a girl) a high chair and also a lion king exersaucer from Babies R Us as well.  

Movement???

Just wanted to post to say that I think I felt the baby move today.  I know it's early, but is still possible.  It was cool!  Felt like baby did a little flip or something.  I wasn't expecting it.  It was low down so I know it wasn't bowels or something like that.  Kinda felt like a twitch, but in an area I don't remember ever feeling twitches.  So, whether it was or not, I'm going to assume that is was.  I'm pretty sure.  :)

12 Weeks - First Tri Complete!!

*This week the baby is the size of:  Not sure but he's 14 grams or .5 oz.  Over 2 inches long from head to bum, but about 3 inches including little legs.  :)
*How far along: 12 weeks
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013.
*Total Weight gain/loss: I don't know.  Too scared to look.
*Maternity Clothes?  Bought a tank top and a lightweight sweater and a hoodie, and two pairs of stretchy pants from Motherhood.
*Sleep:  Didn't enough last night that's for sure.  Going to go for a nap soon.  I still need lots of sleep or I get so tired after work.  Still waking up once having to pee, but usually ignore it and go back to sleep and then pee when JJ gets up for work around 5:20am.
*Best moment this week:  I took my vaginal progesterone suppplements for the last time yesterday.  YAY!
*Movement?  Baby is moving lots now apparently.  But I can't feel it yet. 
*Food Cravings: No one craving really.  Well, carrots and dip have actually sounded great this week and tasted amazing.
*Symptoms:  Getting up to pee about once a night.  Gaggy/gagging.  My lunch room at work smells disgusting to me and I no longer eat there I eat in the conference room.  Eating too much at one time makes me feel sick.  My nips have been more sore the past few weeks.  Big boobs.  My feet now get at work.  Gender: Don't know and probably won't find out.  Haven't gotten any bigger this week I don't think.  I hate bending over because I feel this pressure that grosses me out.  I think it's from the huge cyst I have.  Did I mention that?  It was 10 cm's at 7 weeks, but only 8 at 5 weeks.  It better not be growing still!  I do NOT want my ovary twisted and to die, nor have to have surgury for removal, or have it burst and have an emergency.  Please pray the cyst shrinks and goes away!!  Thank you!
*Labor Signs: None, better not be for a long time!
*Belly Button in or out:  Still slightly shallower.  
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  More happy and looking forward to labour and delivery!  (call me crazy!)
*What I miss:  Feeling attractive.  
*What I'm looking forward to:  Getting our house sold and moving home!!
*Milestones:  Stopping progesterone!!!!!!!  Hitting 12 weeks!  I just so hope baby is doing well.
*Any new stretchmarks: No.  

11 Week Update (+2 days)

*This week the baby is the size of:  a large lime; .25oz
*How far along: 11 weeks 2 days
*Due Date: September 24th, 2013.
*Total Weight gain/loss: I don't know.  Too scared to look.
*Maternity Clothes?  I don't fit any of my pants except two pairs of sweats and one pair of dress pants.  So I have my two pairs of mat pants I wear.  I have some tops but I haven't started wearing them yet.  I still feel like I'm more fat than baby.  But it's coming soon.  I will have to relax and just accept this body change.  I just want to feel convinced that it's baby more than me being chubby.  I'll have to throw some pics up soon.
*Sleep:  Still needing more sleep now.  9 hours or more is what I really seem to need now.  Didn't get nearly as much sleep this week.  Last night I finally did.  It was awesome!
*Best moment this week:  Wasn't an awesome week.  I didn't have any exciting things happen.  
*Movement?  Baby is moving lots now apparently.  But I can't feel it yet.  Although the other day I thought I felt something.  But it's unlikely that it was baby, but you never know!
*Food Cravings: I don't really have a certain craving.  I really want what I want in the moment and it changes constantly.  
*Symptoms:  Getting up to pee about once a night.  Not as gross feeling all the time as I used to.  But randomly get gaggy.  My lunch room at work smells disgusting to me and I no longer eat there I eat in the conference room.  I threw up yesterday after my junior whopper and poutine meal from Burger King.  Yah that didn't sit well.  Eating too much at one time in general makes me feel sick.  My nips have been more sore the past few weeks.  Big boobs.  Can't find bras to fit me.  Hmm... oh!  My feet now get really sore at work the past 2 weeks or so.  Must be a preggo symptom.  It's weird that it's so early.  And my lower back is a bit sore off and on.
*Gender: Don't know and probably won't find out.
*Labor Signs: None, better not be for a long time!
*Belly Button in or out:  I noticed about a week and a half ago or so that it's actually getting shallower.  It's weird I didn't expect that so soon!
*Feeling toward Pregnancy:  I'm getting more used to the idea of having a baby and looking forward to the change a bit more.  Still don't focus too much on the future right now, it seems so far away.
*What I miss:  Feeling attractive.  
*What I'm looking forward to:  Getting our house sold and moving home!!
*Milestones:  Getting close to 12 weeks.  Hope I start feeling more chipper and my bump pops out so I feel better about my body.
*Any new stretchmarks: No.
