And just like that, I'm in
the second trimester! My little bub is going to be here in no time!
Here's the bump today - round
as usual :)
Sorry
for the "work bathroom" pictures, I don't have a full length mirror
at my house that will let me get a good picture without standing on my tippy
toes! I must admit, I love my round belly! I like my little waddle,
and I love putting my hand on my tummy and imagining meeting the new life
growing inside. I love being pregnant! So far I think I've had a
pretty awesome pregnancy, only slight nausea a handful of times, and some mild
food aversions (although nothing that really keeps me from eating it anyway,
aside from that Rare steak that one time... ) and typical fatigue - which
has probably been the biggest struggle so far. Luckily I have awesome
coworkers, and no one bats an eye if they find me curled up on Ben's couch for
a few minutes in the middle of the afternoon, in fact they tip toe around and
whisper as not to wake me!
Not a whole lot has changed
from last week's update, but I'm still going to do it! (Also, I have no idea what is going on with the formatting - Sorry!)
How far along? 13 Weeks
Total weight gain: 1
pound - I think it's still about this, I forgot to weigh in this morning
Maternity clothes? Yes
- and I have amazing friends who gave me their maternity clothes when they were
done with it, so I have more to wear these days!
Stretch marks? nope!
Sleep: I'm
still tossing and turning, but I seem to have found a few positions that have
been working for me, my biggest issue these days is that my arms fall asleep
whenever I have a pillow wedged under my back behind me... it's weird, and a
little concerning first thing in the morning.
Best moment this week: Every time I can feel how full and firm my tummy is after dinner - the food + the baby creates a really cool bubble that sticks out a little further than usual!

Miss Anything? Coffee
this week. Our coworker brought Ben some really awesome coffee beans and
I stood there for 5 minutes just breathing in the aroma of the beans, it
smelled so good! I think I might go out and get myself a Decaf bag just
to satisfy the craving!
Movement: Haven't felt anything since, so perhaps I was just reading too much into my bodily movements.

Food cravings: Today
I craved a chicken wrap -
I just wanted something fresh and light for lunch, so Ben and I went out to get
a wrap from Wrapture in the mall - it was awesome!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Random things, typically it's just the phase between meals, but the last couple days I've been experiencing a few bouts of feeling gross after eating, so I think I might need to cut down on the spice/flavour soon, as it happened after having pesto Pork Loin on Sat, and then again after having home made butter chicken yesterday for lunch.
Gender: Unknown
