13 Weeks

Personal note: I know many of my readers are infertility warriors.  Feel free to ignore these posts because I know what it feels like to be in your shoes.  I just can't not document this little miracle of ours and keep praying for your miracle as well.

Is that a belly we see there?! :)

How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Steady still!  I'm hoping to start gaining this week though!

Maternity clothes: I had much more success with maternity clothes this week!  My sweet sister-in-law brought me a huge bag of maternity clothes that will work really well.  Some look cute now and others will look great once my belly grows a bit.  I also found a few cute maternity item and non-maternity items that will work during pregnancy at Target.  I'm feeling much better about my wardrobe. :)

Best moment this week: Buying maternity clothes is fun. I bought a cute maternity t-shirt dress that really shows off my belly and makes me look pregnant instead of just like I've been eating too many donuts. :)

Movement: I can't wait to feel our sweet baby moving.

Waist diameter: 26 inches at waist, 30 inches at belly button (same as last week)

Food cravings/Aversions: These are few and far between now!  They vary from one hour to the next. One minute I'm loving yogurt and the next I think I might throw up in the yogurt bowl if I take another bite.

Labor signs: Thankfully, none.

Belly button in or out?  It's definitely too early for this question unless you were born with an outie belly button.

What I miss: NOTHING!  I'm just so grateful for this little miracle growing inside.

What I am looking forward to: I'm excited for our next doctor's appointment in a little less than 2 weeks when the doctor will look for the gender on the ultrasound!

Milestones:  13 weeks!  Baby is almost 3 inches now!  We made it through the first trimester and I'm weaning myself off of the morning sickness meds.

Realization of the week: We are just so, so blessed.  We are both so excited to be parents.

Other funny things: I've never believed that pregnancy brain was a real thing until this happened.

That's a new pair of socks in the garbage can.  Earlier in the day I almost threw away another pair and caught myself and put them in the dirty clothes basket on the other side of the room.  Then I found these in there last night and I don't remember when it happened!  I'm losing my mind apparently. :)
