13 weeks

How far along? 13 weeks, 2 days

Total weight gain/loss: Up one pound, but the belly is definitely pooching! :)

Maternity clothes: Some maternity, some regular. I have gotten to the point where I can’t stand the Bella Band. It drives me insane, riding up or falling down.

Stretch marks: Same old ones.

Sleep: Better than last week. If I make myself stay up until at least 8pm, I sleep a lot better.

Best moment this week: Doing pretty much nothing all week. Lots of rest!

Movement: I feel him at night right before bed, sometimes.

Food cravings/aversions: I have been craving boiled peanuts ALL WEEK. I finally got some yesterday! And watermelon.

Gender: 99% sure he’s a BOY!

Labor signs: Nope

Belly button in or out: In but flattening

What I miss: Red Bull and a cold turkey sandwich

What I am looking forward to: Feeling more like my normal self. I’m hoping that as I get further into my second trimester, the weird preggy symptoms will go away. This past week I have had horrible, horrible gas pains high up in my stomach. I think that since my uterus is moving up and out, my intestines are getting mushed around and so the air inside is trapped and has no where to go! I contemplated going to the hospital this weekend to make sure my placenta wasn’t tearing away or something. It was very painful! Luckily, laying flat in a warm bath seemed to help.

Weekly wisdom: NEVER make a tuna sandwich in the same house as your pregnant wife if you want to live to see the next day!! (This is for you, sweetheart. Love you!)

Milestone: Second trimester, maybe? I can’t ever figure out if it starts at 13 or 14 weeks.
