Behind - The Story of My Life

So I've been meaning to start weekly bump updates, but I've been so busy napping and snacking I've been so busy being productive that I have yet to begin.  I really want to write things down so I don't forget them by tomorrow down the road.

9 weeks:  true morning sickness kicked in - brushing my teeth became almost impossible; still no bump just bloating and crazy fatigue

10 weeks:  more of the same - morning sickness and fatigue (I was completely useless around the house - thankfully Matt has been SO AMAZING!  And lucky for me, my student at work has been a God-send!)

11-12 weeks:  the morning sickness seemed to get worse and the headaches were almost constant



And now for this past week's update:
13 weeks - Pregnancy Highlights:



How Far Along: 13weeks
Size of baby: a medium shrimp (~3 inches)
Gender: don't know yet (I'm thinking boy, Matt's thinking girl)
Maternity Clothes: nope, my normal clothes still fit but they aren't always comfortable buttoned after meals (I've never been one for tight clothes, just ask my mom, ha!)
Weight gain: -1.5 lbs at 9 week appt., +2 at 13 week appt.
Movement: not yet
Sleep: Getting up 2-4x's a night to pee, feeling restless, and having trouble getting comfortable.  
Symptoms: cramping (round ligament stretching), lower back aches, headaches, nausea/morning all day sickness, fatigue (getting better though!), more breakouts, crazy sense of smell still, aversion to food (mainly meat)
Cravings: watermelon (which is not convenient given it is out of season) - sour/tart things (hello sweettarts and grapefruit)
Best moment this week: We finally got to hear Baby C's heartbeat!  It was good and strong!  I'm also so thankful that I've been having more good days!!  The nausea/sickness has gradually begun to decrease with the worst time now being evening/night.  And I've actually had a little energy, I even cleaned out the baby room and swapped over our winter clothes.  I thought Matt was going to fall over when he realized how productive I was Saturday.  It's been so long!

I've totally meant to start bump pics, but well, yeah, that just hasn't happened yet.  I have a good feeling about week 14 though ;)
