Week 13

How far along: 13 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain: 2 pounds

Maternity clothes: still just the occasional pair of maternity jeans. Trying to be careful about what I buy until I know what I really need

Sleep: I’m not getting up as much during the night so I'm enjoying it while it lasts

Best moment this week:  When I told one of my customers that I am expecting she brought me a pendant that someone had given her with her first baby. It is the Patron Saint of Expectant Mothers. So sweet. Also, being able to spend all day Sunday with my husband was pretty awesome. J

Food cravings:  Olive Garden salad, a chicken sandwich and mac & cheese

Food aversions: not really. I was able to have a cup of coffee this week! Still haven’t attempted to eat pork though.

Symptoms: still a bit of queasiness hanging around and heartburn/indigestion

Looking forward to: Right now, I’m looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday. It’s the little things in life. Also, getting the nursery organized. That room is a mess and I’m starting to feel the pressure to get it done.

Size of baby to fruit comparison: Just peachy :)

Week 12

How far along: 12 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain: 2 pounds

Clothes: still making do with a rubber band on my jeans and the Bella band.
Sleep: Can’t get enough of it!
Missing: Sushi, a frozen margarita and being able to take an Advil for a killer headache J

Food Cravings: My Grandmother’s “pink stuff”, sweet chewy candy like skittles, starbursts or gummy bears, fried dill pickles and pretty much all the TV ads that make the food look awesome. LOL, I watch TV and end up thinking “Ooohh, I want that!” the whole time.
Food aversions: Can’t drink a cup of coffee – I want to, but can’t. I work in a coffee shop and can seriously count on one hand the time I have had a cup since Thanksgiving.
Looking forward to: The second trimester starts next week! One down, two to go to meet our sweet baby. Also looking forward to warmer weather and being able to wear skirts/dresses.

Size of baby to fruit comparison: Peach

Well, it's official! Chris and I are expecting our first little bundle of joy! We are thrilled, nervous, joyful and scared. I stumbled across another baby blog and must admit that I had to steal the idea. I hope to preserve the journey of this pregnany and be able to share with friends, family, and one day with our sweet baby. The picture was the best I could do taking it myself. I will enlist the help of Chris next week. :)

How far along: 11 weeks

Total weight gain: 2 pounds

Clothes: Can still squeeze into all but 1 pair of jeans. Bought a bella band. My Mom bought me some maternity jeans and I have worn them once, still too small to really hold them up.

Sleep: Having to get up to go to the bathroom is annoying. I hear it only gets worse.

Best moment this week: I went to the dr. today and heard my baby's heartbeat for the first time. A steady 162 per minute. Incredible! Oh, and Alabama won their 14th National Championship. RTR. :)

Food Cravings: Kind of all over the page, but to name a few: PB&J, chocolate milk, grapefruit, and guacamole.

Food averisons: Pork - and only like pork chops or tenderloin. Ham or bacon hasn't bothered me. One day I seriously ate in the living room while my husband ate pork carnitas in the kitchen because I couldn't stand the smell.
Size of baby to fruit comparison: lime

Symptoms: heightened sense of smell, sore boobs, quesiness
