13 weeks
How far along: 13w
Weight: 126.8lb.
Sleep: Pretty good
Gender: We find out in July!!! Or at least we hope this one will cooperate enough to let us find out.
Movement: None yet, but I think in another few weeks we’ll be getting some baby bubbles
Feeling: So-so. More good days than bad days, which I’m thankful for
What I am looking forward to: Telling work this week. Above anything else, it means I don’t have to wear the same 5 outfits anymore 🙂
Weekly Wisdom: Toddler climbing on preggie belly doesn’t feel good
Milestones: End of the first trimester baby! I don’t know of a better milestone than that. My manager and I also discussed my time off. I’ll be out of office from 11/8-3/28. Pretty excited on that one.
Food cravings: I’m getting into my fruit craving phase. Right now melon sounds good. Also, still in a meat aversion phase. Anything that is not chopped up beyond recognition just makes my stomach churn. What do you want to bet this kid will be A+ blood type?
Best moment this week: Seeing the wee one during the NT scan. Also, sneaking up on it with the doppler at home. I got it… for a whopping second before it swam off to non-doppler detectable land.
Fetal development:
Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, its veins and organs are clearly visible through its still-thin skin, and its body is starting to catch up with its head — which makes up just a third of its body size now. If we’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.
