First Trimester!

Appearantly our baby got off to a fast start! According to our first doctors visit, I'd be 14 weeks today. At our ultra sound last week, it was actually found that I am 13 weeks today. I'm told that, especially early on, this is common, and that I'm not going to be giving birth to a line backer. Phew! I'm going to be taking a picture at the last day of the previous week throughout this blog. So even though i'm 13 weeks today, this post will be about everything leading up to the end of week 12. :-) As of last week, Baby Roggy was the size of a LIME!

How far along? 13 weeks

Total weight gain/loss? The scale says it's only 5 lbs, my clohtes tell me other wise! Either way, I'm still less than I was freshmen year of college so I'll consider that a win!

Maternity clothes? Not yet, but i'm sure that's coming soon! Yesterday was the first day I tried the hair tie around the button of your pants trick, and WOW!!!! I felt like a new woman! That trick is going to make me a very happy mama thru these body changes!

Stretch marks? None, and I"m being adiment about applying lotion like a mad woman now that everything seems to be expanding quicker than before!

Sleep? I can't get enough of it, but if I'm woken up it's hard for me to get back to sleep. Regardless of how I slept the night before, I'm up at 6:30 A.M. ready for the day. I'm a morning person anyways so this doesn't bother me.

Best moment this week? Getting to see our baby in 3D at the doctors appointment, and being told that we have to come back next week to see it again since it wasn't cooperating! Technology has come so far, and it's amazing what you can see so clearly when the baby is still so small!

Miss Anything? My social life. Not the bars, and parties, and wild-ness of it. But spending time with my girl friends. I've been too tired to do ANYTHING! Seriously, I'm in bed as soon as I get home from work, and pretty much only get up to make food, and go right back to bed. I'm hoping to get more energy this trimester. I miss my ladies!

Movement? Too early for that, but there's definitely a lot of activity going on down there. Especially at night, my belly feels like it's little gas bubbles or tickling me from the inside. It's such a strange, beautiful feeling!

Food cravings? I believe yesterday was my first actual craving, and it was for a peanut butter & jelly sandwich? I also really want seafood, but I've always loved seafood so I dont' think that's a craving.

Anything making you queasy or sick? The smell of Roxy's dog food got me BAD for a few weeks, but it's not so bad anymore.

Have you started to show yet? Yes, but I can also still keep it hidden.

Gender? Clay thinks it's a boy, I think it's a girl. At first, I was dead set that it was a boy, but as time goes on I keep picturing a girl.

Labor Signs? Nope

Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time? Very happy, I'm loving being pregnant thus far.

Looking forward to? Seeing the baby again this week, and then FINALLY hearing the heart beat the week after that! We've seen it at every ultra sound (161 bpm) but still haven't gotten to hear it.
