Hump Day Bump Day Week 13

Holy moly!! Second tri!! I am so excited to be entering the second trimester. I feel really good. Both of our families know about the pregnancy. All announcements went well. The only thing I have left to do is announce on facebook, which I am going to do Jan 26 when we find out the sex. I had originally planned to announce on New Years, but I'm still too scared/nervous to have that many people know about it. Hopefully, I'll feel better when we know the sex.

Chris's parents bought us our crib and a dresser over the weekend, and my mom is buying us the other dresser that goes in the set. We still have a lot of work to do to get the nursery ready to even put furniture in, so it will be in boxes for a long while, but I'm super excited to have it ordered.


Week: 13

How Big is Baby: Baby is the size of a peach! The bump says "She's about 2.9 inches long and weighs about .81 ounces, and -- proportion-wise -- her head's now about 1/3 the size of her body. Can you believe she's forming vocal cords and teeth?! And even though she's still teeny, she already has fingerprints. Her intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to their more permanent place, in her tummy."

Weight Gain: I'm not weighing at home anymore, but I was up 1.8 at my last Dr appt.

Gender: Chris thinks it's a boy, and I think it's a girl. Everyone in our families think it's a girl too. I can't wait to find out Jan 26!

Names: We have names and we are pretty set on them, but they could change and we aren't sharing til baby is born.

Symptoms: I've been having headaches, but that's about it. Ooo and sore boobs still.

Sleep: I get up a couple times to pee, but have no trouble falling back to sleep.

Movement: Soon! I can not wait. I could start feeling movement in the next couple weeks.

Maternity Clothes: I'm wearing maternity pants now, and I have one shirt that I've worn a couple times. I am going this weekend to buy a couple more tops.

Food Cravings: Not really cravings, but when someone talks about something they ate or want to eat, I instantly have to have it. Today it was pickles and cottage cheese. Yum!

Food Aversions: Nothing. 

Stretchmarks: not yet.

What I'm Looking Forward To: finding out the sex.

What I Miss: nothing.

Next Drs Appointment:  I have a Drs appt Jan 21 and find out the sex Jan 26.

Best Moment of the Week: deciding on baby furniture and having it ordered.

Bump pics week 12 and 13. Something is starting to happen.

Ooo and we got a new bed frame for Christmas from my parents. It's pictured in the 13 week picture. We also rearranged our room so that there is enough room on my side for a rock n play or bassinet. 

And because he is so cute. Whiskey was cold today. It was 5* for most of the day.

Our furniture!!

11 weeks 4 days

The ultrasound yesterday was amazing. We got to see it kick and move it's arms. It was so cute. We got 21 pictures on a disk and she printed 9 for us. It was definitely worth the money. My parents and sister loved being able to see it and Chris has been talking about baby non stop. He loved it and said we can go back whenever I want. We went to old Navy after and I got some pants and a shirt. We also went to babies r us to look around. We scheduled another u/s at that place for Jan 26 so we can find out the sex!

This is the picture I'm going to use to announce on Facebook New Years Day.

Bump Day Week 11

I'm 11 weeks 3 days today, which is the most pregnant I have ever been. I have an ultrasound at 3:30! I heard the heartbeat nice and clear last night so I'm not too nervous for this ultrasound. I am also going to go shopping for some maternity pants after that and out to dinner with my parents and sister. Should be a good day!

Week: 11

How Big is Baby: Baby is the size of a lime! The bump says "Your fetus is about 1.6 inches long, and she's got about a 1:1 head to body ratio. She now weighs in at about .25 ounces. You can't see it, but she's moving fluidly and gracefully in there. Her skin is see-through, but she's on her way to looking more like a baby. Her fingers and toes aren't webbed anymore. Tooth buds, hair follicles and nail beds are forming.

Weight Gain: Still about 2 lbs

Gender: Chris thinks it's a boy, and I think it's a girl. Everyone in our families think it's a girl too. I can't wait to find out.

Names: We have names and I thought we were 100%, but now we aren't exactly sure. We won't be sharing until the baby is born tho.

Symptoms: Not much of anything. Sore boobs and lots of dreams that make it hard to sleep, but that's about it.

Sleep: I've been having so many dreams and they make it hard for me to sleep. They wake me up and then I'll go to sleep and have another dream and wake up, all night.

Movement: too early for that, but I can't wait!

Maternity Clothes: I'm wearing maternity jeans today and am going shopping today to get work pants and another pair of jeans. My jeans fit ok, but I feel like I'm trying to stuff myself into them so I'd rather wear maternity.

Food Cravings: Not really anything this week.

Food Aversions: Nothing. 

Stretchmarks: not yet.

What I'm Looking Forward To: My ultrasound today!!

What I Miss: nothing.

Next Drs Appointment: December 24th!

Best Moment of the Week: Hearing the heartbeat with the doppler and being the most pregnant I have ever been!

 This is what I look like in my normal jeans. Stuffed sausage.

10 weeks 6 days

Tomorrow I will be 11 weeks. I was 11 weeks when I found out that our last baby no longer had a heartbeat and I was going to need to have a D&C. That was the worst day of my life. If I could just skip over tomorrow and magically be 11 weeks 1 day that would be amazing.

I have an elective ultrasound on Saturday. I can't wait to see baby again. It should look like an actual baby so that will be exciting. I have heard the heartbeat on the doppler a few more times, but only got it to pick up on the display the one time I videotaped it. I'm hoping it becomes easier soon and the display starts picking it up so I know how fast it's pumping away.

10 weeks 4 days

10 weeks 1 day

I got my doppler today. I can find my own heartbeat just fine, but no baby heartbeat. Trying hard not to over react. I've been symptomless for about a week though so that isn't helping any. Just breathe.

Hump Day Bump Day Weeks 9 &10

I am a terrible blogger. I've been really busy with the end of the semester. Finals are this week so I've been studying a lot. Tomorrow is my last one and then it's break. Thank God. I have a lot of things to discuss on the blog so after tomorrow I'll update more.

Week: 10

How Big is Baby: Baby is the size of a prune! The Bump says "Now, she's about 1.2 inches long and weighs about .14 ounces. Her body length will almost double in the next three weeks. Baby has working arm joints, and her cartilage and bones are forming. Her vital organs are fully developed and they're starting to function. Her fingernails and hair are starting to appear, too. Plus, she's swallowing and kicking in there. (Can you believe it?!)"

Weight Gain: About 2 lbs I think.

Gender: Chris thinks it's a boy, and I think it's a girl.

Names: We have names and I thought we were 100%, but now we aren't exactly sure. We won't be sharing until the baby is born tho.

Symptoms: I'm pretty symptomless right now. I'm hoping it's because I am getting close to second tri. It's freaking me out a little bit, or a lot a bit.

Sleep: I've been sleeping really good.

Movement: too early for that, but I can't wait!

Maternity Clothes: Still in normal clothes. I wore leggings and a maternity shirt last hump day though. I didn't have any shirts long enough to wear with leggings so a maternity shirt was the only choice.

Food Cravings: Not really anything this week.

Food Aversions: Nothing. 

Stretchmarks: not yet.

What I'm Looking Forward To: my birthday this weekend

What I Miss: nothing.

Next Drs Appointment: December 24th!

Best Moment of the Week: I got some maternity shirts in the mail from Chris's mom for my birthday. I ordered a doppler too and it should be coming tomorrow!


Black outfit is 9 weeks. Purple is today at 10 weeks. Definitely look like I've been studying, eek.
