Week 13

Date/Week: July 7; week 13

Total weight gain/loss: 174.75 (+.25)

Belly measurement: will start that next week

Milestones: According to 'What To Expect When You're Expecting', we're in our second trimester today - "Fit Pregnancy' says it's next week.

Physical Progress: I've been wearing some maternity tops since my regular tops are popping buttons and wearing a large looks strange on me. I've purchased a few maternity pants for use soon since the hair elastic method of buttoning my pants is getting painful.

Symptoms: Still having a few nauseous moments; Feeling run down in the evening

How do I feel about my body: I actually look much better in maternity clothes, even though I am not mad about the styles that are currently out there.

Food cravings/aversions: craving burritos, avacadoes and yoghurt

Sleep: Still actively dreaming but also waking up to pee at about 2am consistently

Energy level: Better but I have no desire to go running anywhere!

Exercise: still walking; plan to add some swimming/water aerobics on Saturday.

Baby Movement: At the NT scan I realised that when sproglet moved that I felt a fluttery sensation. I've been paying attention to the fluttery sensation since as it isn't a strong feeling yet. The doctor said I'll feel it really well at around week 16-18

Thoughts and Feelings?  I am more comfortable (again) with being high risk and with the possibility of having to stay in Boston near the end of this journey. It will be another interesting adventure!

What I am looking forward to: feeling what it is like to swim while pg on Saturday.

What am I reading / things I’m learning: Baby Bargains / buying 2nd hand is wonderful (and I totally agree)
