Week 13

How Far Along: 13 Weeks, which by some books/apps is 2nd trimester, and others it's still first.

Baby Size: Peach

Symptoms: Morning sickness came back a couple days last week. Most of the time it had to do with smells. My sense of smell is much much stronger lately. I'm getting a little more energy back.

Weight Gain: I am -l lb from pre-pregnancy weight. Happy my body is gaining weight! Most people hate gaining weight, but for me it's the one thing I have always struggled with, so losing weight is ALWAYS a concern to me, and now being pregnant, it's an even bigger worry, even though I know it is normal in the first trimester. I'm happy to be gaining weight back and according to some charts, I should be gaining about 1 - 1.5 lbs a week from now until the end.

Sleep: Horrible sleep last night, but the rest of the week was great. I'm starting to sleep on my sides because it's not comfortable on my back anymore.

Best Moment of the Week:  Being able to workout. Feeling like I have a belly. I had a black shirt on this week and Gilles said he could definitely tell there is a bump

Worst Moment of the Week: Getting sick a few mornings and being really run down after doing too much in one day

Any cravings or aversions: Nothing this week.

Wedding ring on or off: On

What I'm looking forward to: Hearing the heartbeat this week (hopefully) and having my belly show more

What I miss: Prepregnancy pants. Still not big enough for maternity pants yet, so I'm at that awkward in between phase. Tights and tunics.

Emotions: Had a good week emotionally. I was very stressed at the beginning of the week, but feeling much better and happier

Nursery: Nothing yet. Just more research.

Shopping: Haven't bought anything, but I did receive quite a bit this week. I got my nursing cover, pads and bracelet from the uddercovers.com website. Received my carseat canopy from a similar website. Got a bag from SIL that has a Moby wrap, a superman costume, Oilers booties and a boppy head rest for baby in the carseat. I'm keeping the Oilers boots for Gilles stocking for Christmas

To-do checks: Meeting with the doulas Wednesday. Prenatal appointment Friday morning. Should be able to hear the heartbeat this time so Gilles is coming with.
