Second Pregnancy :: Week 13
How far along?
13 weeks
How big is baby?
A 
Weight this week:
178.2
Total weight gain:
9.8
Maternity clothes:
Yep. I gave in on Friday and wore a maternity shirt and jeans. And I was SOOO comfy!!
Stretch marks:
Nothing new.
Belly button:
Innie
Sleep:
I’ve slept okay this week. Don’t know what’s changed, but most nights I felt well-rested.
Best moment of the week:
My bump is finally looking like a bump and less like a lump. Things have risen upwards now and I no longer look like I have a muffin-top.
I had a horrible weekend last weekend. I was sick almost the whole time and I felt rotten and barfy and achy the whole time. But then on Monday, something wonderful happened! Those familiar flutters (that I didn’t recognize with Lucas until much later) started making themselves known. I was sitting on the big reading chair in the library with my legs up and I started feeling the baby move inside of me. There have been several times this week where (if I’m sitting still long enough) I can feel the fluttering. That is one of the perks, and definitely makes up for the crappy days!
I got to see my pregnant friend Brenda at Lucas’s class Valentine’s Day party--we both have boys in the same class and we are both having babies around the same time so its nice to chat with someone who has so many things in common! I also visited my lovely friend Kirstin and her sweet baby Rory--snuggling that baby boy just made me smile and even more excited about having a little dude or dudette around to snuggle later this summer!
Food cravings:
Greek food, specifically hummus from Zoe’s Kitchen!! I could eat bowls of the stuff if I was allowed!
Food aversions:
Barbeque smells, Cheerios, tomato-based dishes.
Symptoms:
A few headaches, some shoulder pain (which was remedied by a trip to the chiro). Less nausea, but it is still present.
Movement:
Yes! Finally! None you can see from the outside (the baby is far too small still) but I can feel the little angel wiggling!
Gender:
Don’t know yet!
What I’m looking forward to:
Prenatal yoga. I didn’t want to go last week because I’d felt rotten all day, but I went and I’m so glad I did. I felt tremendously better the next day and most of the week!
What I’m nervous about:
The typical money issues (not having a paycheck during maternity leave) but otherwise I’m feeling rather calm.
What I miss:
I miss not being able to walk around without a bra. :) I have to contain these knockers all the time (not something I’m used to.)
Next appointment:
March 3rd
Comparison to Pregnancy #1:
I’m pretty sure I was still feeling pukey at this point with Lucas. But the all-day nausea is different than when I was pregnant the first time. I’m hoping to “round the bend” soon.
