Week 13

Wow I can't believe I'm all ready in week 13. Baby D is the size of a peach this week.



Baby
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

So I'm stopping with the symptoms paragraph. Every week that goes by I feel the same. The bbs remain full which I'm sure they will be until the baby is born and after that. My hunger has completely changed. I'm not hungry like I use to be.

I did pop out a little this weekend. It seems like on Friday I wasn't showing at all and all of a sudden there is a little belly popping out. I would take a picture, but my camera is at the factory getting fixed. As soon as I get it back, I'll take a picture so you can see my little baby bump.

I also started wearing my bella band this week, full time. My last pair of pre-pregnancy jeans still button, but it's a tight fit that I much rather wear them with the bella band. I'm not sure how long the bella band will last until I need maternity pants. I think I might go shopping in the next week or so.

I'm so proud of myself that I have gone to the gym every single day of the week. I just love going and doing a little exercise. I'm not doing too much, but I try to do cardio for at least 45 minutes every time. Hopefully this will help me with the weight gain. Since my energy is back, I really have had the energy to go and workout. You can definitely see the baby bump through my workout clothes, and I'm starting to wonder what people at the gym think. Do they think it's a baby bump? or do they think it's a beer belly?

I really can't believe how fast these last few weeks have gone by. I'm getting SO excited for this baby you have no idea. I can't wait for the months to go by and start shopping for the little one, getting the room ready, and to finally meet him/her one day.

Although according to my OB I all ready started my 2nd trimester, I feel like it will only start in 3 more days.

Well stay tune for some belly photos!!!

Congrats on making it to "almost" the second tri! :) You are one of my "pg people I look up to" because you took baby aspirin and it helped you! Reading your blog makes me hope that this one will work out for me too! Good job keeping up at the gym too! I can barely get my butt off the couch! :)
