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.

  1. I loved the low rise pants! I couldn't stand the feel of all that extra fabric tight on my belly, so I always folded the band down on my other pants, but to each his own! So exciting that you found so many clothes! That's a great feeling too! :) Can't wait to see that bump!

  2. Ugh the low band ones cut into my gut and make me feel so fat. These ones don't feel as tight. It is warm but feels way better on my tummy. I was excited about the clothes I got! The bump pics I'm sure will come soon, but either way you'll see me in 2 weeks, we're coming out!
