How far along? 13 weeks 1 day.
Size of baby: The size of a peach; just under three inches. Oh, peaches!
Sleep: I'm able to stay up later at night without crashing, and then I do fall asleep right away when I go to bed, but I wake up really easily these days. Since Jacob and I have different sleep schedules, when he comes to bed a few hours after me it usually wakes me up and then I have a harder time falling asleep. Some nights I seem to toss and turn a bit after I fall asleep initially.
Total weight gain: According to the gym, +2. This makes me think that the scales at the RE's office, my OB's office, and the gym are vastly different, because I really don't think I've gained six pounds in the last two weeks. But a gain of two pounds overall seems reasonable at this point.
Unglamorous body changes: I haven't really noticed any changes in the last week. Maybe an increase in ear wax? And possibly an increase in stomach flab. Hence, going to the gym. (I had held off going for a while after the miscarriage scare.)
Best moment this week: We finally announced our pregnancy to the rest of our family members yesterday!
Movement: Yeah . . . no.
Maternity clothes: I tried the ol' rubber band through the button hole trick on a pair of pants that seemed a bit snug this week. It may have made my pants technically buttoned, perhaps, but that did nothing to stop the zipper from falling down! I may have to set that pair aside or just wear it with really long shirts.
Food cravings/aversions: This category is getting boring. Still nothing!
Symptoms: My back has been feeling better, which is joyous. My nose has been more congested at night, which I thought was because I was getting a cold, but it hasn't gone away and it started seven weeks ago, which makes me suspicious. I've also been feeling little pinches around my uterus. Perhaps these are the round ligament pains everyone speaks of?
Other tidbits: It's getting harder to suck in my stomach all the way. I wonder how long I'll be able to hold off telling my students. (Or my boss, for that matter.) Oh, and I finally stopped bleeding this week! I'll still feel better after hearing the heartbeat at our next appointment this Thursday.
