How far along? 13 weeks
Weight? 140
Maternity clothes? No
Stretch marks? No… but I had a dream
about them!
Belly button in or out? In,
but wide enough to get sunburned INSIDE it this week. So weird.
Exercise? YOGA = core strength! I love that I’m back in a consistent(ish)
practice that fulfills me.
Symptoms? Remember those college nights
where you’d pregame with boxed wine, then drank the mystery punch out of a huge
trash can, chug cheap beer during flip cup and end the night with a Taco Bell run
and a bucket next to the bed? I feel THAT hungover, every day. I’m ridiculously
nauseous in the morning, unable to get ready without laying back down to stop
the spins. (Fortunately, like in college, a bagel or two will usually help me
feel better). I also usually get a wicked headache in the evening, possibly
from dehydration. I’ve already noticed back pain, itchy belly and round ligament pain so I’m
terrified excited about how I’ll feel when baby really starts
getting cozy.
Sleep? Still tired enough in the
afternoon to really want a nap.
Movement? Nothing I can feel yet
Cravings? Apple juice, unsweetened iced
tea, bagels with cream cheese and raspberry jelly
Aversions? I’m still
struggling with the fact that nothing really sounds good except carbs…loads and
loads of carbs. It’s likely that I’ll give birth to a chocolate frosted donut
with sprinkles named Jimmie.
Mood? Complicated schedules have
prevented Brian and I from spending much, or really any time together lately so that
led to an emotional overflow. Also, the first wave of “holy shit,
I’m going to be responsible for someone other than myself” is sinking in. Those of you that
know me know that I can barely keep up with my own basic needs, so this is a
scary concept.
Miss anything? Not
really
Best moment this week? Hearing
baby’s heartbeat on Thursday was a great moment that I wish could have lasted longer. Also, baby’s Facebook debut on
Father’s Day! This baby is loved by so many and mama and daddy are so grateful
to have a village supporting us in this adventure.
Looking forward to? Getting bigger! I know it sounds crazy but
now that I have a donut pooch, I’m so ready for it to blossom into a full-blown
baby belly.
I donut think I said bagel enough in this post so I
leave you with this joke:
Why do
seagulls live by the sea?
Because
if they lived by the bay, they’d be called baygulls!
You laughed. Don't lie.
I loved the baygull joke but that may not be the best judgment on how funny it was ;) I am enjoying this blog very much and counting the days until I meet Baby Wissman. I was touching hands with Annie at yoga on Wednesday (I love it too!) and got a real "It's a boy" jolt. Weird, huh?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnnie, I am so happy you are writing this blog! I journaled during my pregnancy and found it to be an extremely necessary and healthy part of my experience. I could not be happier for you and will be there every step of the way! Love you :)
