13 Weeks

How far along: 13 weeks
Gender: Still not sure. My grandmother says "That is a girl! Look at that face! That is a girl's face!" after looking at the ultrasound from this week. We should know on January 6! Gender Reveal party to follow!
Weight gain: -18 pounds. I haven't been sick much in the past week and a half {WOOHOO!}, so I've put a bit on. It's really hard to get on the scale and see the pounds adding on. I obviously know that's what is supposed to happen, but as a weight conscious gal for my whole life, it's hard to accept as normal.
Maternity clothes: Not yet, but I feel it coming soon. Pants are starting to be uncomfortable by the end of the day. I'm seeing a lot of sweatpants in my near, Christmas break future!
Stretch marks: Not yet.
Belly button in or out: In
Sleep: Poor Andrew has had the flu, so I was exiled to the couch while he recovered. Couch sleeping=crappy sleep. Glad to be back in my warm cozy bed! And I guess I'm glad he is feeling better, too.
Best moment this week: ULTRASOUND! I got to see Baby Haley kicking it's little tiny legs and wiggling around! It was absolutely amazing. Since I haven't been getting sick, I've been a little nervous that things have taken a turn for the worst. It was such a relief to see our sweet baby growing and playing around in there. Also, I foresee a lot of kicking pains for me in the coming months!
Worst moment this week: As I said before, Andrew has been sick. It was terrible to not be able to care for him and cuddle him (gag, I know). I kept my distance and was out of the house as much as possible. It's crazy to miss a person you can see, but I did.
Miss anything: Having general control of my own body. I'm a control freak that generally speaking likes to do what I want. It's humbling and horrible to not be able to do the things I want to. But I know it's for a good cause!
Movement: Not any that I can feel, but as the ultrasound showed, there's a lot going on in there!
Cravings: Just food in general. I've been legitimately hungry for the first time in months!
Queasy or sick: Only a few times. A huge improvement!
Looking forward to: Christmas Break from school!

12 Weeks!

I've decided to be that annoying person and blog my weekly look. Here's some fun facts to document the journey!

How far along: 12 weeks
Gender: Not sure yet. One of my coworkers did a voodoo magic predictor and says boy. We will see in about 6 weeks!
Weight gain: -20 pounds. In the past eight weeks, I've had the flu and a stomach virus. That plus the morning all day sickness has been a nice combination for my figure.
Maternity clothes: Not yet. My normal clothes are actually fitting better with all the weight loss. Starting to get snug in the waistband though.
Stretch marks: Not yet. Any suggestions for those are welcomed!
Belly button in or out: In
Sleep: We have had some snow days in the past week, so I'm feeling pretty good right now. Sleeping is my number one favorite activity these days.
Best moment this week: Having the energy to finish up Christmas shopping with Andrew on Monday night. I've been so tired that my trips haven't been that successful. SO GLAD to be finished up now!
Worst moment this week: Puking in general. Whether from stomach virus or just normal sickness. Crossing my fingers that it passes soon!
Miss anything: I have been wanting a glass of champagne lately. I think knowing it's holiday time and that I can't have it makes me want it even more!
Movement: Not yet
Cravings: Salad. I can't get enough. Sperry's salad bar, I'm looking at you.
Queasy or sick: All. The. Time. I have had some relief the past couple of days. Hoping it's not just a fluke!
Looking forward to: Doctor's visit on Monday!
