Week 13: Second Trimester

 Month 4!

 Week 13

 

Size of Baby ?     Kiwi

This week's major developments: 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 (babycenter.com)

Gender? we made an appointment for Tuesday to get an early gender scan. I feel like there is a ping pong game going on in my head I go back and forth between wanting a girl or wanting a boy. I currently I am leaning toward a boy. But will be really happy to just have a healthy baby.

Sleep? I have been getting really sick at night. I lay in bed from 10-6 running between bed and bathroom to dry heave. No fun for me or my sweet hubby I try not to wake.

Food Cravings? Breakfast food. the best thing I ate this week was a egg, cheese, ham sandwich. YUM

What I Miss? Not being so sick

What I am loving? I am loving the warmer weather and taking the dogs on hikes with Tyler when I am not to sick.

Movement? Not yet. But I am eagerly anticipating being able to feel this little monkey inside of me.

Symptoms? nausea, insomnia, food craving, exhaustion, heart burn

Best Moment of the Week? Tyler's dad had a Cinco De Myo party at his house and it was really fun being around family. I even made myself a virgin margarita.

Exercise? I lifted weights probably 3x this week and I have been going on walks.

Yoga? I did a nice hanumanasana (splits) practice at my house one day and a gentle hip opener practice another day which was nice. Easing back into it.

Affirmations? "Being sick means baby is healthy"

Maternity Clothes? I plan on buying maternity shorts and some bigger yoga pants and some tank tops this weekend

Appointments? Gender appointment on Tuesday, midwife appointment on Wednesday!
