{7 Week Ultrasound picture! Our little Firecracker!}
{13 Weeks!}
This week, Baby E is the size of a: PEACH!
Maternity clothes?: Pants, yes - sometimes! I have a couple of shirts, but mainly still in regular shirts (just bigger sizes!). Bras are a whole other story - the "girls" are growing like crazy and it was absolutely necessary to get maternity bras already (again, you're welcome for the TMI)!
Total weight gain/loss: You're crazy if you think I will ever disclose this information! Let's just say, I'm gaining weight! :)
Stretch marks?: No.
Sleep: Still sleeping well and loving it! I love my sleep, that's for sure!
Best moment this week: Reaching the second trimester!! Also, getting some energy back!
Have you told family and friends?: Yup - we were so excited to share our wonderful news!
Movement: Sometimes I think I feel little flutters (like butterflies), but think it's still too early.
Food cravings: Salty!! My first craving was popcorn! Now, craving pickles (even drinking the juice - eek!)! My husband thinks that craving is completely revolting! haha! He hates pickles! I'm also craving spicy V8 juice.
{New book and fulfilling my popcorn craving!}
{Lovin' me some pickles!!}
Have you started to show yet?: I feel like I'm getting a little pooch - not quite a bump yet.
Labor signs?: Nope!
Belly button in or out?: In still.
Wedding rings on or off?: On still.
Happy or moody most of the time?: Have been kind of cranky lately - oops!
Symptoms: Still tired and going potty a lot!! haha! Also, growing "girls!" (Oh sorry, pregnancy consists of a lot of TMIs!)
What I miss: Celebrating NYE with a cocktail (toasted with sparkling grape juice this year though!), having multiple cups of coffee a day, and energy to exercise! I miss these things, but just a bit, because the reward is going to be so much better and well worth it!
{Celebrating NYE with sparkling grape juice! Happy New Year from the Ernst family!}
What I'm looking forward to: So many things! Regaining energy, getting back to exercising (I'm going to force myself to do this!), decorating the nursery, and gender reveal appointment (when it's time!)!
Gender prediction: Hmmmmm... Not really sure at all, at this point! Sometimes I refer to Baby E as him or he, but not sure why??!
Milestones: (Based on a pregnancy app) Baby can now put a thumb in its mouth and will soon start sucking it. Little one will also begin strengthening cheek muscles by rooting and sucking, which prepares baby for breast-feeding. The nose and lips are complete this week. The voice box now begins to develop. Also, the reproductive genitalia are emerging.
Weekly wisdom: Having a helpful, understanding, comforting, and loving husband makes pregnant life so much easier!
Keep growing, Baby E!! We are already in love with our sweet firecracker!!
P.S. Doctor's will be monitoring my blood at every appointment (due to antibody m). Just praying and being positive - it's in God's hands, and we are trusting in Him! *Proverbs 3:5*
