How far along: 13 weeks & 3 days
Size of baby: About 3 inches long, weighs between 1/2 - 3/4 ounce, and is the size of a peach
Weight gain: 5 pounds
Maternity clothes: Not even close
Symptoms: Nausea seems to be under control but I'm still taking Unisom so I'm not sure if it's due to that or if it really is getting better. I plan to stop taking Unisom next week when I hit the second trimester. I've had some headaches the past couple days too but nothing that's unbearable.
Gender: Won't find out for another 7 weeks but I'm thinking boy
Exercise: Running 3-4 days/week and teaching 4 classes/week
Food cravings:: I haven't had a ton of cravings so far but every few days I could really go for some french fries and a Jimmy John's sandwich
Food aversions: This week hasn't been too bad with food aversions but the past month or so I've had a hard time finding something I want to eat. I used to eat bananas every day in my lunch and I think I've had 1 in the past month. I've been sticking to a lot of plain foods--bagels & cream cheese and yogurt.
Movement: Nothing yet
Sleep: Sleeping great thanks to the Unisom! I'd say I only have to get up to use the bathroom every other night which is typically what I did before I was pregnant. I'm a stomach sleeper so it's taken some getting used to sleeping on my side instead. Not using or planning on buying a body pregnancy pillow because I just hold on to Todd instead. I will say though that I've been pretty tired a few days in the afternoon due to waking up early for work. Today will be rough since I had to be at work by 3:45 AM and have to work until 3:00 PM because of a presentation I have to give this afternoon.
Looking forward to: Picking out paint colors and changing out the closet doors from sliding doors to doors that open towards you in the nursery.
Best moment of the week: Finally sharing the news on my blog & facebook!
I will say that the body pillow was a game changer for me. Starting about week 14 my sleep was terrible. Hopefully you keep sleeping well. I'm jealous that you don't have to pee every night.
ReplyDeleteI liked my pregnancy pillow for a little while--but I mainly used it to keep from rolling over onto my back when I was further along in my pregnancy. I definitely understand the finding something you want to eat--as a total foodie I hated not really caring what I ate. Sometimes it just seems like you just have to pick something because you know it's time to eat!
ReplyDeleteLoving these updates & looking forward to the next 23 of them :-)
