How far along: 13 Weeks!
Baby size: 3 inches long (about the size of a peach)
Weight gain: Not yet, probably soon.
Maternity clothes: No
Sleep: I have been sleeping a bit better. My cough still keeps me up sometimes but I have had a few night now that I have slept all the way through. Sleeping is a blessing. I have also figured out if I sleep in a lot I am a lot more exhausted than if I get up and get going. It is still hard not to sleep in.
Gender: Still thinking it is a boy. Daniel's father had an impression it was a girl. Either way will be lots of fun.
Best moment this week: Hearing our little babes heartbeat. It was a perfect 150 beats per minute this week! And calling to tell the siblings about our pregnancy. We wrote a letter to Stephen, we will wait and see what his reaction is. We called Brandon and Megan and Jord and Liz and they are both really excited for us. We still haven't reached Summer and Alex but hopefully by Sunday we will have told the important people.
Looking forward to: Letting the grandparents know. Especially Grandma and Grandpa Hart, I think they will be especially happy (at least I hope so :)
What I miss: Not having to take prenatal vitamins on an empty stomach.
Movement: Nope but sometimes this week I have felt like I have popped out a bit, then I get up and go to the bathroom and it is gone. I hope that is normal.
Food cravings: Pineapple. We got a fresh one from Costco this week and it was delicious!
Aversions: Sweet potatoes and veggies.
Nursery: We've been looking at cribs and things but it is still all up in the air.
Miscellaneous: It is kind of fun to hear the kinds of questions people ask. The funniest question this week was Liz asking whether Daniel and I would be celebrating mothers day and fathers day this year. Some things like that we have never thought of. Other than that our appointment was good, sharing the news has been fun, and looking at baby stuff makes everything feel a little more real.
