13 Weeks

OK, one of my BFFs has a blog and has been using the following format throughout her pregnancy. I hope you don't mind Jaime, but I'm totally stealing it since it's nice and succinct. :)

How Far Along? 13 weeks

How I'm Feeling Overall: Tired, unmotivated and can't wait to crawl into bed at night!

How your baby's growing: 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 (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Movement? It seems like it is waaay too early, but I *swear* I feel tiny little flutters every once and a while. It feels just like when I felt all the other babies first start moving.

Food Cravings/Aversions? I can't get enough SALT! Potato chips, french fries, cheese curds. Mmmmmm. :) Which is so strange because I usually have such a sweet tooth!

Symptoms: Morning, or should I say evening, sickness. I feel pretty good in the morning but as the day wears on, about 3:00, I quickly go downhill. Although I do think I am starting to feel a teeny bit better than I did 2 weeks or so ago. Yay me!

Maternity Clothes? yes. I am really fighting it, but gosh, my regular clothes are just so.... constricting. Hey, it's my 6th pregnancy, people. Cut me some slack. :D

Stretch Marks? Nope!!! (OK, well at least not from *this* pregnancy. LOL)

Weight gain? Last time I was in to the Dr., 4 pounds. I can guarantee you it has increased since then!

Sleep? *I* can sleep through the night... it's my children who wake me up!

Best Moment of the Week? Seeing my friend's 3-week old and looking forward to holding a newborn of my own again!

Gender? Ooooh, we can't decide if we will find out or not yet. We go back and forth.

What I'm looking forward to? Actually looking pregnant instead of just looking "fat".

Emotions? Are evening out, I think. But you'd have to ask my husband to get the real answer I suppose. :)

I'm still here, I promise!!

Oh boy, I have been a terrible blogger! So much has been going on in our lives that has kept me away from here. To be truthful, I still don't have the time to write about it tonight, but this blog has been on my mind for a couple weeks now and I know I have some catching up to do.

When I find a quiet -- no.... uninterrupted? no.... hmmm.... when I can wrap my head around writing anything intelligible, I will be back. :)

In the meantime, remember this: if a 1 year-old is being really quiet, there is always, ALWAYS a reason.
