13 weeks and counting

The baby is now a monkey! It is covered in small hairs called lanugo. It also have it's sense of taste and smell! The little monkey is about 3 inches long...the size of a medium shrimp. I should feel movement anytime in the next 4-6 weeks :)!!!

I was feeling sick this past week. No fever...just very upset stomach unless I ate something I was craving it came back up shortly after it went down. Not fun.

On another note we have most of the baby items we need! We have a crib, matress, swing, vibrating bouncy seat, pack n play, baby tummy time mat, and clothing ranging from 0-18 months (we about 40-60 outfits I went a little crazy!). The last few items we need are bed sheets, breast pump, boppy pillow, milk storage bottles, and bottles. So, we are feeling very good and feeling very prepared for this little one.

I am getting very excited because I should start visibly showing to other people soon! I have gained 2 inches in my waist...I am pretty it's just the baby pushing my fat up but I like to think it's all baby! :) I have gained 3 pounds but the doctor is very pleased with my 3 pound weight gain. She said it's normal.

Things that are not so normal are my cravings. Daniel and I ate at skyline chili earlier this evening and the sour cream on top of my burrito (only a tablespoon or so) was the best part. I ate it by itself. So strange.

The baby also enjoys cheesecake,

cookies,

icing,

iced cookies,

waffles,

fried eggs,

tomato sauce,

and ham sandwiches.(heated of course) :)

I also enjoy pickles and ice cream but not together! :) So, all in all trimester one was good. I am excited to feel our baby move and I can't wait until I know our baby can hear us tell it how much we love our little cookie monster/dino/baby/crazy strange kid/ pickle loving angel/ our precious gift that makes us feel more and more fulfilled each day! :)
