So long first trimester...! Hello second!

Everyone cheer! We are 13 weeks pregnant! Which means that we are almost out of the FIRST trimester! One down, two to go. It is literally flying by. I can't believe it. But for the first trimester, it was a BREEZE (much to LiLi's dismay)... no problems at all! Hear's hoping for a breezy second and third! So lets get down to the nitty gritty.

13 weeks and counting...

How far: We are 13 weeks pregnant!

Size: Baby Sullivan is the size of a peach which is one of daddy's favorite fruits! (see picture below from thebump.com)

Weight gain/loss: I have lost about 15 or 16 pounds since finding out I was pregnant. It seems to have stopped dropping off so maybe I am evening out... ?

Maternity clothes: I have them thanks to Me Me (my mom) and Grammy (Keith's mom) and some hand me downs from LiLi (sister) but I am not wearing them yet.

Sleep: Sleeping good, few trips to the bathroom but nothing major.

Symptoms: None really. Finally got the headaches under control which is GREAT. But I have been noticing alittle more nausea than normal. Not vomitting, just the nausea.

Miss: Nothing really. I am enjoying EVERY single moment.

Feelings: Nervous, excitement, anxious to find out what the baby is!!!!

Craving: Not much... Baby Sullivan did have his/her first taste of boiled crawfish the other day... it was a success and I didn't swell due to the salt in take! A+!

We had our monthly OB visit back at the beginning of Jan. We were blessed enough to listen to the heartbeat. It was a good strong 166.... now of course...finding the heart beat... another story! Baby kept running from us! Every time the nurse would find the heart tones, baby Sullivan would swim the other way. About 15 minutes later, we cornered the baby over by my pelvis and finally got him/her to sit still.... We clearly have alittle trouble make on our hands! A definite product of daddy!

We were also tested for early diabetes. I have a long family history of diabetes so my midwife and I thought it would be best to test me early in case I needed to take any extra precautions... so 1 hour and some orange drink later we had blood drawn. And it came back great! Passed with flying colors!

And here is what is going on with the bambino according to thebump.com:

"Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords...savor this, their nonfunctional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with his head now only one third the size of his body. And intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy -- much more convenient."

So there ya have it! 13 weeks down... soon we will know if we are PINK OR BLUE! AH!

See ya next week!
