Thirteen Weeks

How far along? Thirteen weeks - 11/12/10

 

How big is baby?

Next appointment: December 7

 

Maternity clothes: Just pants, for now. I just looooove the "fat" stage.

Sleep: ...is beautiful. Need more pillows, though.

Cravings: Nothing in particular right now. Just hungry!

 

Aversions: Not too many, actually. Thank goodness. Still not too crazy about sweets. Boo.

Symptoms: I'm a litte tired. I do have three kids, so that could explain why.

 

Movement: Not quite yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be really soon.

 

What I'm Looking Forward To: Thanksgiving. Nathan laughed at me when I told him I was already thinking about all the food! Mmmmm...

 

Reflections on this week: Oh, boy. Two words: stomach virus. I was sick late Monday night, unconscious for 24 hours, and I had to reschedule my OB appointment that I had been waiting for. Frustrating. Anyway, I went on Thursday and had an excellent appointment! Dr. P even gave us a quick peek at our munchkin! The child was jumping around like an over-caffeinated frog, and it totally cracked me up.

Look at the little hand!

Alien baby.

I'm so relieved that we've made it this far. I think we're finally in the clear, and I can start to think about the fact that this is actually going to happen. Maybe I can get excited about it now! It's been hard to bond with this baby, because I kept myself at a distance, just in case something bad happened, so it wouldn't hurt as badly. Now it seems as though everything will be okay. :) 

Oh, no. Now we have to start thinking about names again. And it's my turn! Arrrgghh!
