13 weeks - Pregnancy Update

This blog is a place for me to journal and document, so you can expect a lot of pregnancy updates and posts! I know they have been a little heavy this week, but I am playing catch up! From the start of my pregnancy I kept a little journal here on the blog, but from here on out I will be doing these weekly updates with the occasional vlog! So even though I am almost 14 weeks at this point, I didn't want to miss posting my 13 weeks update!
 
How far along: I am 13 weeks and 5 days!

How big is baby: The size of a peach, a peach! How cute is that? :) I love the fruit analogies.

Weight Gain: I have put on about 6 pounds! And I am bloating like a sponge in water, no big deal.

Maternity clothes: For the last few weeks I have had to do the rubber band trick and so I finally caved and bought some maternity clothes last week. I only got one pair of pants though and realized I bought jeans when I probably should have bought some work pants... duh! I am thinking since I will be pregnant through spring and summer I should just invest in a bunch of skirts and dresses! haha

Stretch marks: Nothing yet!

Sleep: It is hit or miss with me and sleep right now. I am a stomach sleeper so it has been sucky training myself to sleep on my sides. I get uncomfortable on my side like that all night. Soon I will have to start training myself not sleep on my back either! Bah! 

Craving: I have been craving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and cereal (Life, Grape Nut Flakes, Oatmeal Squares, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Special K Vanilla Almond.) I also forgot to mention Mac N Cheese! But being totally honest I am always craving that, the feelings have just been amplified.

Feeling: Happy! I had my second appointment today and got to hear the heart beat again! It really is the craziest thing knowing there is a growing little baby in there. It was kind of an embarrassing appointment because it was taking a minute to find where the baby was, she told me to pull my pants down even lower (and trust me, they were low enough already) and she had to get really down there to find him/her! I just had to zone out and not focus on the fact that I basically had my pants off. I was sitting there thinking my kid is already putting me in embarrassing situations! haha
