OK, I suppose I have avoided this as long as possible since I hounded my friend Ducky (being induced tomorrow !) so bad about posting belly pics. I must admit I'm a little apprehensive because I hear all these people who didn't show until they were 5 months pregnant or who could wear their pants (buttoned) until the were 4 months pregnant.... well, that's not the case here folks. I haven't gained any weight at all (which doesn't make much sense) but it pretty obvious that my body has become quite distorted!! I'm going to use the excuse that my torso is all of 3 inches long and therefore there is nowhere to go but out, if you know me, then I'm not embellishing this... my legs come up to my ribs and there's no torso there so this should be a very interesting growth process !!!
Well without anymore procrastination .... here it is... the 13 week belly.
How far along: 3 Months & 8 Days
Weight Gain: 0
Favorite Maternity Clothes: I'm still in my clothes their just modified with belly bands and flowy shirts!
Movement: I haven't felt any movement that I'm sure of... there have been few times that I thought... hmmm, what was that?
Cravings: Orange Juice, Ice cream
I cannot stand chicken!
Symptoms: I think the nausea has subsided ! I still have a few moments every now and then where I have to take a deep breath to keep from gagging, but for the most part that seems much better! I am asleep every night by 9 pm (totally out of character!) and when I say asleep we're talking Weekend at Bernie's OUT! I actually took my purse to bed with me last night with the intent to get something out of it and fell asleep clutching it...
What's Will up to: We bought a baby name book last week and no joke... he won't put it down ! He's had a lot more input and opinion about things than I thought. On our last Dr's apt (his first time to go) he was discussing on the way in that he thought my doctor was WAY TOO YOUNG (she is in her 30's) to know how to deliver a child. We walked to the elevator to go up to the office and he justified his apprehension by noticing that among all the doctors listed...she was not one of them, which prompted him to say "I mean is she even a real doctor", I assured him that she was and we continued. He was happy to see her name on the door with the title Dr. in front of it... once he met her I think he felt much better but I really thought he was going to make me change doctors for a second there!
Accomplishments: I think we are honing in on names for either gender ! We haven't really accomplished much else... waiting to see what we're going to be having!!
Things to do: Doctors Appointment on Monday July 19th & we find out the gender on the 31st !
Beyond that the list is endless !

Aww Candace! How exciting!!! You look adorable, by the way, with your cute little belly ♥
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you posted a belly shot! Although, after I eat dinner that's what my stomach looks like. Can't wait to hear what you're having!
ReplyDeleteYour belly is so cute, Candace! Jason was very much the same way in choosing Jude's name. Once he found out we were having a boy, the father in him took over and he was not going to allow his son to have anything but a cool name. =) Can't wait to see how the rest of your pregnancy goes! Love you!
ReplyDeleteLove the post! Congrats!!! :) How many weeks will you be when you find out the gender? (Just a forewarning...I had a friend who was told it was a girl at 16 weeks, but then at 20, it turned out it was a boy! Make sure you don't find out too early! :) ) You have plenty of time! Keep the posts coming! It will go by so fast (at least my pregnancy has)! Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, and adorable!! I was wondering when you would post a belly pic!! You were always on my case for mine!! Don't be a silly preggo lady Candace!! You take care of yourself and that baby and who cares what so and so did during their pregnancy. As long as you feel good you will look good. ;)Be healthy and you will have a healthy baby. Don't forget that your baby depends on you so gain sister gain!!! Love you and please keep posts like this coming!!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have a young doctor and she made me feel so comfortable throughout my pregnancy. I felt like I could relate to her and joke around. She was also experienced and helpful. Will is too funny... I love it!! Obviously I need to call you this is a very long "comment"!!
