13 Weeks

Today I am:

 And sweet baby is the size of LARGE APPLE

And I am officially in the Second Trimester!!

This is the newest picture of our sweet little one!  We had another u/s yesterday and it was amazing.  We were shocked at how big the baby was and how much he/she has changed since our last u/s.  The baby was moving around and turning and moving its little arms and legs...well, make that big arms and legs.  By the u/s, the baby's legs look very long.  He/She is going to be like its Daddy!!  It was a special time for us.  I could have watched that sweet thing all day long!!  During this u/s, they checked for abnormalities and I am happy to report that everything looked great and perfectly normal!!  Praise be to the Lord!!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along:  13 weeks

Size of Baby:  Large Apple

Most dramatic developments this week:  Fingerprints have formed, veins and organs are clearly visible and the body is starting to catch up with the head, which makes up a third of his/her body size.  Also, the neck is getting longer and the head is becoming more erect and on top of the little head....he/she may be sprouting some hair!!

Total weight gain:  lost one pound

Maternity clothes:  my new love :)  Wearing more of them just because they are comfy!

Gender:  Don't know yet.  Josh is leaning more towards a girl and I'm thinking it's a little boy!  We will soon see who is right.

Movement:  Not yet, but I can't wait!

Sleep:  Still working third...and sleep is still crazy.

Cravings:  It's something different every day!

Anything making you sick or queasy:  Anything and everything

Symptoms:  Still having pretty bad nausea and vomiting.  Also noticing a lot more reflux.  Tums are my friend! :)

Best moment of the week:  The ultrasound and seeing our precious little one getting so big and strong!

Looking forward to: CHRISTMAS!!
