13 Weeks, Hello 2nd Trimester!

How far along? 13 weeks. Yay 2nd Trimester!!!

How big is baby? Size of a lemon. Approx. 3 inches long and weights 1.5 oz.

Physical differences from last week? Definitely feeling a bit bigger this week.

Total weight gain/loss? +2 pounds this week and overall

How I'm feeling? Pretty good, definitely noticing that I'm getting a bigger appetite.

What's been on my mind? Made an appointment for this next Monday for an ultrasound to hopefully find out if baby is a he or she!!! I'm really worrying the little one won't cooperate and show us but I'm hoping for the best!

What I'm looking forward to? Feeling baby moving around and finding out gender so I can start shopping!

Best moment this past week? Finding clothes that aren't so awkward to fit in! I did a little shopping to find work clothes that are comfortable and should hopefully continue to fit for awhile.

12 Weeks

How far along? 12 weeks

How big is baby? Size of a peach. Approx. 3 inches long.

Physical differences from last week? Definitely feeling a bit bigger this week.

Total weight gain/loss?

How I'm feeling? Better than I have in a few weeks. Starting to feel a little less tired at the end of the day.

What's been on my mind? Only 2 more weeks until we can (hopefully!) find out if Brooklyn will be having a little brother or a little sister!

What I'm looking forward to? Having even more energy and feeling baby moving around. Finding out gender so I can start shopping!

Best moment this past week? Seeing baby on the ultrasound at my appointment again! This was the first ultrasound where baby was actually moving around a lot. The ultrasound tech was trying to get baby to move around by pushing on my stomach and every time she did baby would kick and swing its arms around, it was really cute :)

11 Weeks

How far along? 11 weeks

How big is baby? Size of a small plum. Approx. 2.5 inches long and weighs 1/2 oz

Physical differences from last week? Most pants are becoming increasingly less comfortable. If I already feel so big I can't imagine how big I'll get towards the end.

Total weight gain/loss? At my appointment on Wednesday I actually weighed in at less than I did at my appointment 4 weeks ago! Was pretty excited about that, even though I feel huge already.

How I'm feeling? Pretty good. Still tired a lot of the time. Looking forward to the 2nd trimester energy that everyone talks about :)

What's been on my mind? Getting more excited as the time goes on to find out if Brooklyn will have a little brother or sister! Just a few more weeks until we can find out.

What I'm looking forward to? Having more energy, feeling baby move, finding out the gender

Best moment this past week? Seeing baby on the ultrasound at my appointment Wednesday! Always happy to see that healthy heartbeat and see baby growing.

You can see it's head on the right side with a little arm sticking up right underneath and the little legs on the left side.

Ignore the weird shadow in front of my belly, apparently my husband hasn't quite mastered taking pictures :p

10 Weeks

Finally starting this! I've been meaning to the last 3 weeks but I kept forgetting to get the husband to take pictures.

How far along? 10 weeks

How big is baby? Size of a lime. Approx. 2 inches long and weighs 0.3 oz

Physical differences from last week? Definitely couldn't button my pants this week, so I had to start using the belly band. Also most of the nausea has gone away.

Total weight gain/loss? I haven't weighed the last few weeks but I am about 2 lbs up from pre-pregnancy weight.

How I'm feeling? Pretty good. Very tired at night though. I can barely make it til 9, which is Brooklyn's bed time.

What's been on my mind? So excited for how our lives are going to change in the next 6-7 months!

What I'm looking forward to? Having more energy, feeling baby move, finding out the gender

Best moment this past week? I think I might be feeling a little bit of movement! Not enough to where I'm sure thats what it is, but its exciting to think about!


Excuse my very tired looking face. This was after having 34 4th graders the first 2 days of school!
