13 Weeks

Baby is the size of a clementine or about 2.9″. When I looked at the size of that orange, I was a little surprised! I mean, I know he/she is growing every day, but sometimes it surprises me how quickly it happens.

How far along: 13 weeks

Gender: Maybe boy? I’m fully basing it on the old wives tale about sweet vs salty foods. I have not craved any sugary foods, so apparently that means Baby is a boy. Except for Starburst candies…hmm…

Weight gain: Still about the same.
Symptoms: Back pain, nausea, occasional headaches, and I still threw up one night. 😦 Toward the end of this week I had a weird ache in my rib area, which seems odd. I would expect it later on in pregnancy, but it seems too early for that kind of pain now.

Maternity clothes: not yet

Stretch marks: No

Belly button in or out: in

Sleep: totally fine..except for my middle-of-the-night potty trips

Best moment this week: Making our big announcement on Mother’s Day! Now I get to complain about pregnancy symptoms publicly! 😛

Miss anything: Andrew — the first few days were fine, but I’m starting to feel a little lonesome. So then I buy baby clothes online. Good thing he’s only gone for a month. 🙂

Movement: not yet

Cravings: Well, I just ordered one pound of pink Starburst candies. I guess that counts. And I can’t stop eating the Shells & White Cheddar Pasta Roni. It’s just so delicious! And I don’t get sick of it… I’m always in the mood for it. My go-to snack this week is Wheat Thins and pepper jack cheese sticks.
Looking forward to: Feeling the baby moving
