13 Weeks!

While I thought about combining weeks 13/14 (since I am closer to 14 weeks at this point), 13 is my lucky number, so it certainly deserves its own post.

This past week was spent in New Buffalo, MI with my amazing siblings, parents, and grandpa (and, of course, the kiddos). We had an absolute blast. Not much sleeping, lots of sand on/in everything I own, and some screwed up sleep schedules continuing into this week...but, worth it for some incredible memories.

My rockstar hubs just got a new job and was serving out his "two weeks notice" during most of vacation, hence his absence in photos.  So regardless of all of the fun, we are glad to be back in our own beds and back with daddy! Did I mention the beds part though? Cuz for real, this bump requires about eight pillows already.

Speaking of bumps...

Aw yeah. Gained a solid three pounds on vacation, and most of it is ice cream. Onto the first official bumpdate!

How far along? 13 weeks + 4 days! 

Clothing? Creativity is key. I can still squeeze into a lot of my tops but bottoms are all maternity (which is appropriate because my own bottom is definitely 'maternity.')

Stretch marks? Yes, forever I would expect.

Sleep? NOT GOOD AT ALL on vacation. Last night I slept like a rock but still woke up exhausted. The nightly pee breaks have started, so it's all downhill from here. Definitely relying on my body pillow in a big way!

Best moment of this week? I am quite certain now that I am feeling some flutters. MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD.

Worst moment of this week? Bad sleep on vacation with my two rotten kiddos! But, as my mom reminds me, I probably won't sleep much for the next ten years at least.

Miss anything? It's summer, so yes, I'll say an adult beverage or two. But that's ok!

Movement? YAYAYA!

Symptoms? Fatigue, sore belly/cramping, mild nausea (but seems to be abating), weird erratic appetite, and pretty dizzy. 

Food cravings? Not that into sweets lately. Boy?! Except, oh yeah, like ten pounds of ice cream on vacation. So, who knows. Cravings are definitely lemonade and pretzels. MMMMM.

Gender? I'm gonna be cliche and say boy! Great Grandma H guessed 'boy' this week and she's pretty wise, so who knows.

Labor Signs? Nope.

Belly button in or out? Halfsie.

Wedding rings on or off? On!

Mood? A bit stressed, my anxiety has flared a little since weaning off of my progesterone lozenges. But trying to take it easy and enjoy this little miracle.

Looking forward to? My next appointment, of course!

Pretty boring, eh?! I guess I am not as chatty the third time around...but, for the record, I am TOTALLY JUST AS EXCITED. Babies babies babies. I want babies forever.

Have a great week, all!
