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 !
